The decline in Bitcoin continues to deepen day by day. While Bitcoin briefly approached the $70,000 mark, today it fell below $70,000 on Binance.

At this point, Bitcoin has fallen below $70,000 for the first time in about 15 months since November 2024.

According to Binance data, BTC fell below $70,000 and dropped to around $69,250.

Bitcoin is currently trading in the $69,000-$70,000 range, having fallen by more than 8% in the last 24 hours.

Furthermore, Ethereum and altcoins continue to experience sharp declines. ETH fell 7.6% in 24 hours to $2,070.

This sharp decline also triggered a massive liquidation chain in futures trading. Approximately $1 billion worth of positions were liquidated in the last 24 hours. Of this, $797 million came from long positions and only $161.5 million from short positions.

Bitcoin investors accounted for the largest share of liquidations:

BTC: $453 million
ETH: $234 million
SOL: $70.6 million
XRP: $33.4 million

In the last 24 hours, 206,074 traders were liquidated, with the largest liquidation occurring on Aster in the BTC/USDT trading pair ($11.3 million).

Crypto News: Donald Trump-Aligned Fed Governor To Speed Up Fed Rate Cuts?

The post Crypto News: Donald Trump-Aligned Fed Governor To Speed Up Fed Rate Cuts? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In recent crypto news, Stephen Miran swore in as the latest Federal Reserve governor on September 16, 2025, slipping into the board’s last open spot right before the Federal Open Market Committee kicks off its two-day rate discussion. Traders are betting heavily on a 25-basis-point trim, which would bring the federal funds rate down to 4.00%-4.25%, based on CME FedWatch Tool figures from September 15, 2025. Miran, who’s been Trump’s top economic advisor and a supporter of his trade ideas, joins a seven-member board where just three governors come from Democratic picks, according to the Fed’s records updated that same day. Crypto News: Miran’s Background and Quick Path to Confirmation The Senate greenlit Miran on September 15, 2025, with a tight 48-47 vote, following his nomination on September 2, 2025, as per a recent crypto news update. His stint runs only until January 31, 2026, stepping in for Adriana D. Kugler, who stepped down in August 2025 for reasons not made public. Miran earned his economics Ph.D. from Harvard and worked at the Treasury back in Trump’s first go-around. Afterward, he moved to Hudson Bay Capital Management as an economist, then looped back to the White House in December 2024 to head the Council of Economic Advisers. There, he helped craft Trump’s “reciprocal tariffs” approach, aimed at fixing trade gaps with China and the EU. He wouldn’t quit his White House gig, which irked Senator Elizabeth Warren at the September 7, 2025, confirmation hearings. That limited time frame means Miran gets to cast a vote straight away at the FOMC session starting September 16, 2025. The full board now features Chair Jerome H. Powell (Trump pick, term ends 2026), Vice Chair Philip N. Jefferson (Biden, to 2036), and folks like Lisa D. Cook (Biden, to 2028) and Michael S. Barr…
