The price of Bitcoin crashed below $67,000 on Monday, representing its lowest level since before U.S. President Donald Trump’s electoral victory 15 months ago.
As of this writing, the digital asset’s price had fallen 23% over the past week to a recent price of $66,753, according to CoinGecko. Ethereum and Solana showed greater losses, respectively diving nearly 33% to $1,936 and 30% to $84 over the same period of time.
The cryptocurrencies extended losses as tech stocks wavered on Wall Street. The tech-heavy Nasdaq fell 1.6%, while the S&P 500 declined 1.2%.
As sentiment in the crypto market takes a major hit, Carlos Guzman, a research analyst at crypto trading firm GSR, told Decrypt that crypto appears to be falling in sympathy with other risk assets as investors are reducing exposure to risk assets tied to artificial intelligence.
For example, the S&P 500 software and services index was down 3% on Thursday. Guzman said fears of disruption stemming from advancements from AI were bolstered recently by the release of new legal tools from Anthropic for its Cowork product.
“The fundamentals haven't changed, but the sentiment has really taken a hit,” he said of Bitcoin. “Sentiment in crypto right now is really weak, just some of the weakest I've seen.”
