A $43 billion mistake triggered massive sell orders, crashing Bitcoin 14% in minutes. Here’s how it happened. Bitcoin may be volatile, but it doesn’t usually drop 14% in a single day without a major macro shock, regulatory crackdown, or exchange hack.

Discover why the crypto bear market may have started in January 2025, according to Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan. While many investors watched Bitcoin soar, hitting its all-time high (ATH) of $126,198 on October 5, 2025, underlying market weakness was quietly building. Retail-focused altcoins had already begun rolling over, and institutional inflows temporarily masked the downturn.
Hougan’s analysis contrasts with W.D. Gann’s principle that “time is more important than price”, highlighting that market cycles often shift before headline prices reflect them. Another key factor is the rise of “paper Bitcoin,” with ETFs and custodial products creating synthetic supply that could influence volatility and scarcity.
Understanding these dynamics is crucial for investors. Paying attention to time cycles, market sentiment, and actual on-chain supply can help you navigate bear markets, preserve capital, and identify long-term opportunities in crypto. Don’t just watch BTC price; watch the cycles beneath it.

Instead of euphoria, we’re seeing uncertainty, liquidity constraints, and profit-taking from long-term holders. With billions in stablecoins waiting on the sidelines, the next major move may surprise the majority the cycle may have one more explosive leg.

In recent years, stablecoins—cryptocurrencies pegged to a stable asset like the U.S. dollar—have emerged as powerful tools for fast, low-cost digital transactions. Now, imagine if giants like Amazon and Walmart began issuing their own branded stablecoins. These mega-retailers already sit at the crossroads of commerce, logistics, and digital innovation. Issuing a proprietary stablecoin could give them unprecedented control over payment systems, customer data, and even parts of the financial ecosystem. But such a move also raises thorny issues about competition, privacy, and monetary policy. Let’s explore the potential benefits and drawbacks of Amazon or Walmart entering the stablecoin game.
