Bitcoin Plummets as Economic Uncertainty Weighs on Risky Assets
Amsterdam, November 13, 2025 – Bitcoin is experiencing a sharp decline, mirroring broader market anxieties surrounding persistent inflation and a potential economic slowdown in the United States.The cryptocurrency’s price drop isn’t driven by large-scale selling from long-term holders,but rather by liquidations of leveraged positions,automatic sell-offs,and activity from older Bitcoin wallets,analysts say.
The downturn reflects Bitcoin’s current positioning as a risky asset, highly sensitive to macroeconomic conditions. While the recent price correction is substantial, experts suggest it doesn’t indicate a basic flaw within the cryptocurrency market itself.
“As long as reliable data is not available and concerns about inflation and growth slowdown persist, Bitcoin will likely continue to move in line with the rest of the market,” the report states.
Analysts have found no evidence of “whale” investors – those holding important amounts of Bitcoin – initiating the sell-off. Data examined shows that the majority of transactions in 2025 involve Bitcoin from 2024, with some activity from wallets dating back to 2017-2023 and a single large transaction from a 2011 wallet.
PlanB, a well-known Bitcoin analyst, noted on Twitter, “I see stories about ‘old whales dumping bitcoin’, but the data does not support those stories.”
A recovery is considered possible once macroeconomic uncertainty decreases, with many analysts emphasizing the recent decline is a normal correction tied to external economic factors rather than an internal problem with Bitcoin.
