Source: DigitalToday Original Title: Bitcoin Decouples from Stocks in the Second Half of 2025 Original Link: https://www.digitaltoday.co.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=612705 As the U.S. Federal Reserve(Fed) implemented its third interest rate cut in 2025, the stock market rose, but Bitcoin moved in the opposite direction. In the second half of 2025, Bitcoin declined by 17%, showing a divergence from the stock market. During the same period, the Nasdaq Index increased by 21%, the S&P 500 by 14.35%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average by 12.11%.

As the decoupling of traditional finance and the cryptocurrency market became more apparent, Bitcoin still marked significant milestones. In August, it hit an all-time high of $124,000, but subsequently entered a correction phase despite expectations of Fed rate cuts. In September, it rose 5.16%, breaking the historically bearish ‘Red September’ trend, but plunged from October due to controversy over network upgrades and large-scale liquidations.

In particular, in October, about $19 billion worth of liquidations occurred, causing Bitcoin’s price to fall below $110,000. This was attributed to a price error on a major exchange and increased reliance on futures trading, which accelerated forced liquidations. In the same month, U.S. President Donald Trump hinted at imposing 100% tariffs on Chinese products, leading to declines in both the stock and cryptocurrency markets. By November, Bitcoin further declined by 17.67%, continuing a weak trend through the end of the year.
