Why is the cryptocurrency market slumping? | Counting the Cost

The cryptocurrency market is now worth more than $2.23 trillion. Yet, Bitcoin has lost more than half its value since prices hit their peak in October 2025.

Politicians are becoming some of their biggest champions and beneficiaries, and governments are racing to write the rules. But cryptocurrency is also becoming a tool for political interference and for sanctioned states seeking to move money beyond the traditional financial system. As the tokens move further into the mainstream, is regulation keeping pace? #crypto #cryptocurrency #economy #finance #bitcoin #business #markets #aljazeera

The emerging product, which borrows some features from the traditional finance sector where lending is a profit centre, could expand core services to crypto users that are overlooked in the broader secured lending market.
