![[LIVE] Crypto News Today: Latest Updates for Nov. 21, 2025 – Bitcoin Falls Below $86,000 as Medium-Term Holders Trigger Sell-Off; Crypto Market Cap Down 6%](https://cimg.co/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/21042056/1763698856-nov-21.jpg)
The crypto market slid into a harsh correction as Bitcoin plunged roughly 7.2% and sank below $86,000, dragging the broader market down over 7% in the past 24 hours. Ethereum tumbled about 7.4% to $2,800 while Layer-1s, DeFi and Layer-2 sectors suffered double-digit pain in names like NEAR and SOON. VanEck’s analysis pins the sell-off squarely on medium-term holders aggressively liquidating positions, a 32% drop in coins held by that cohort over two years, triggering a collapse in open interest, plunging funding rates and a vicious risk-off cascade. Even pockets of strength, GameFi and some NFT tokens, look like brief reprieves as the market braces for deeper downside and potential capitulation.
