Bitcoin Erases All Post-Trump Election Gains as Weekend Liquidations Hit $2.7B
Bitcoin has wiped out all gains since Trump's November 2024 election, with weekend liquidations exceeding $2.7 billion and the price briefly falling below $80,000 before touching $60,000, its lowest level since April 2025, Wintermute reports. The selloff was largely driven by U.S. capital, alongside negative Coinbase premiums and a cumulative $6.2 billion outflow from spot bitcoin ETFs since November, with IBIT serving as both the largest holder and a major source of supply. Wintermute notes that crypto assets currently show a bearish skew while AI-themed investments continue to attract capital, and views a durable recovery as unlikely unless Coinbase premiums turn positive, ETF flows reverse to inflows, and futures basis conditions stabilize.
