Bitcoin falls below $70K, Ether dips under $2,000 amid ongoing crypto market struggles.

Bitcoin has dropped below $70,000 for the first time since early April, down about 24% year-to-date and nearly 47% below its October 2025 peak. Ether also declined, falling under $2,000 to its lowest since late February, down roughly 37% year-to-date and 62% below its August 2025 record. XRP remains part of the discussion but has lost prominence compared to newer cryptocurrencies. These movements highlight the volatility and risks in the crypto market, despite recent ETF approvals for Bitcoin and Ether that aim to increase investor access and legitimacy.
