Why Bitcoin is down 1.6% in the last hour
Analysis
Bitcoin slipped 1.6% over the past hour as traders digested a more cautious medium-term outlook tied to ETF flow dynamics, after Cointelegraph reported that Bitcoin’s market-cap rebound could take “5–10 years” following its drop in rankings since mid-2025. Adding to the risk-off tone, regulatory uncertainty flared after reports that CME Group plans to sue the CFTC over the approval and classification of Bitcoin perpetual futures, which can weigh on sentiment in the near term.
