Bitcoin’s long sell-off deepened on Thursday, with the cryptocurrency falling another 11 percent to around $67,000, its lowest level in 15 months. The decline extends a steep decline from its October peak, when Bitcoin hit an all-time high of $126,210.50, meaning the digital asset has now lost about 46 percent of its value, according to data from Coinbase. After recovering for much of 2024 and early 2025 on expectations that the Trump administration would take a more favorable stance toward the crypto markets, investor sentiment has since cooled, fueling months of continued losses.
The downturn has spread across the broader crypto industry, dragging down companies closely tied to digital assets. Shares of Coinbase Global fell more than 9 percent, while Robinhood Markets fell more than 8 percent, and bitcoin miner Riot Platforms fell about 10 percent. Strategy, the largest corporate holder of bitcoin, fell 13 percent as the value of its more than 713,000 bitcoin holdings fell below the average purchase price. Other Trump-linked crypto ventures have also suffered sharp declines, underscoring the extent of the sell-off as confidence in the sector continues to erode.

Cristiano Ronaldo is set to end his brief strike at Al-Nassr and return to action for Friday’s high-profile Saudi Pro League match against Al-Ittihad in a major boost for the title-chasing side. The Portuguese superstar missed the recent derby win over Al-Riyadh after reportedly becoming frustrated with what he sees as an imbalance in financial support between clubs in the competition. Despite Al-Nassr achieving a 1–0 victory without him, Ronaldo’s absence caused a lot of attention. Reports indicated that his dissatisfaction stemmed from transfer transactions between rival teams.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner has since returned to training, with Saudi Pro League officials insisting he retains their full support and that no changes have been made to the league’s structure or investment model. Although Ronaldo is reportedly unhappy with Al-Nassr’s position against other PIF-backed clubs, league sources claim competition remains fair. They also note that Al-Nassr has already spent a lot of money this season. With the club eyeing a possible return to the top of the standings, Ronaldo’s expected comeback against Al-Ittihad could be decisive if Al-Nassr are to reignite the title race and restore focus on results on the pitch.
