Key takeaways
  • Bitcoin traded below $64,000 after reaching a reported 24-hour low of $63,326
  • Reported futures liquidations reached $597 million
  • BTC is down 4.55% over 24 hours and 14.88% over seven days
  • Total crypto market capitalization stands at $2.24 trillion

CoinEdition reported that Bitcoin fell below $64,000, touching a 24-hour low of $63,326 according to CoinMarketCap. At the outlet’s press time, BTC traded at $64,261, representing a 4.95% decline over 24 hours. The report also put the move in the context of coverage concerning a possible Iranian drone plot against President Donald Trump and senior US officials, including intelligence reportedly briefed to the CIA.

CoinEdition said Bitcoin futures liquidations reached $597 million as the decline deepened. No other outlet supplied matching coverage, so the liquidation total and the account of the market move come from a single report rather than independent corroboration.

Live market data shows Bitcoin at $64,302, down 4.55% over 24 hours and 14.88% over seven days. Its market capitalization is $1.29 trillion, while the total crypto market is worth $2.24 trillion and is broadly lower. The Fear & Greed index stands at 10, classified as Extreme Fear.

The combination of a sub-$64,000 intraday price, substantial reported futures liquidations and a double-digit weekly decline highlights the scale of the current selloff. The figures to watch are whether Bitcoin can remain above the reported $63,326 low, whether further leveraged positions are liquidated, and how the broader market and sentiment indicators develop from their current levels.

What this means in naira

At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 BTC ≈ ₦92.02M (about $65,013.00), down 0.7% over 24 hours. The naira itself trades about 4.7% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Nigerian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
