Bitcoin (BTC) Price Tanks Toward $80K as Liquidations Approach $1B

After a relatively calm and untypical Friday, in which BTC remains sideways around $83,000 and $84,000 while the precious metal market tanked, the cryptocurrency is dumping hard once again on Saturday.

Recall that the asset’s overall calamity began on Thursday when it was rejected at $90,000. In the following hours, it dropped by nine grand to a then-two-month low of $81,000.

It recovered some ground yesterday when it rebounded to $84,000, which now appears as a dead-cat bounce. At the same time, silver and gold plunged by 40% and 16%, respectively, erasing roughly $7 billion of their respective market caps within just a day.

However, the past few hours have brought more pain to the bulls, with BTC slipping to just under $81,000. This became its lowest price tag since November 21.

Most altcoins are also deep in the red now. Ethereum is down by 7% in the past 24 hours alone, slumping toward $2,500. BNB and XRP have plummeted by 5-6% daily as well.

It’s no wonder that the total value of wrecked positions is on the rise, approaching $1 billion in the past 24 hours alone. Naturally, longs are responsible for the lion’s share (over $850 million), while the number of liquidated traders has shot up to roughly 240,000, shows data from CoinGlass.

The single-largest wrecked position took place on Hyperliquid and was worth over $13 million. Interestingly, it involved ETH, which is among the poorest performers in the past day.

The post Why It Could Outperform Pepe Coin And Tron With Over $7m Already Raised appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 20:26 While meme tokens like Pepe Coin and established networks such as Tron attract headlines, many investors are now searching for projects that combine innovation, revenue-sharing and real-world utility. BlockchainFX ($BFX), currently in presale at $0.024 ahead of an expected $0.05 launch, is quickly becoming one of the best cryptos to buy today. With $7m already secured and a unique model spanning multiple asset classes, it is positioning itself as a decentralised super app and a contender to surpass older altcoins. Early Presale Pricing Creates A Rare Entry Point BlockchainFX’s presale pricing structure has been designed to reward early participants. At $0.024, buyers secure a lower entry price than later rounds, locking in a cost basis more than 50% below the projected $0.05 launch price. As sales continue to climb beyond $7m, each new stage automatically increases the token price.

High-Yield Staking Model Shares Platform Revenue Beyond its presale appeal, BlockchainFX is creating a high-yield staking model that gives holders a direct share of platform revenue. Every time a trade occurs on its platform, 70% of trading fees flow back into the $BFX ecosystem: 50% of collected fees are automatically distributed to stakers in both BFX and USDT. 20% is allocated to daily buybacks of $BFX, adding demand and price support. Half of the bought-back tokens are permanently burned, steadily reducing supply. Rewards are based on the size of each member’s BFX holdings and capped at $25,000 USDT per day to ensure sustainability. This structure transforms token ownership from a speculative bet into an income-generating position, a rare feature among today’s altcoins. A Multi-Asset Platform…
