In February 2025, Bitcoin faced its largest monthly loss since June 2022, dropping by 17.5% and entering a bear market. The cryptocurrency’s value decreased from a mid-January peak of approximately $109,071 to around $84,252 by month’s end. This decline was influenced by negative market sentiment, fears of a global trade war due to new tariffs announced by former U.S. President Donald Trump, and a substantial cyber-attack on the Bybit exchange, resulting in the theft of $1.5 billion in digital assets.
