The cryptocurrency market witnessed a sharp collective decline on Friday, May 30, 2025, with most cryptocurrencies losing a significant portion of their value within hours. The main reasons for this crash can be summarized in the following points:
1. Correction and profit-taking after a surge
The decline came after strong gains during the last week of May, where profit-taking by large investors led to increased supply and the start of a widespread selling wave, especially after Bitcoin failed to break the resistance barrier at $109,500.
2. Regulatory concerns in global markets
Concerns have risen about potential regulatory tightening in Asian markets, especially India and China, prompting many investors to temporarily exit the market in anticipation of any sudden decisions that may affect the legitimacy or trading of cryptocurrencies.
3. Selling pressures due to dollar performance and interest rates
The rise of the US dollar and interest rates in global markets encouraged the shift of liquidity from high-risk assets (such as cryptocurrencies) to safer financial instruments, exacerbating selling pressures.
4. Decline in investor confidence and a state of caution
Investors showed increasing caution amid growing discussions about reputational risks for banks offering services related to crypto assets, in addition to the confusion between traditional banking products and cryptocurrencies, which negatively impacted customer confidence.
5. Technical factors and issues in some projects
Some cryptocurrencies like Pi Network faced additional pressure due to the absence of an official announcement regarding the launch of the open network, and conflicting data about the true value of the currency, leading to a wave of selling for profit-taking or a temporary loss of confidence from speculators.
6. Natural fluctuations in a high-risk market
The cryptocurrency market is inherently highly volatile, and prices often experience sharp declines after every strong upward wave, especially in the absence of new positive catalysts or clarity in regulatory policies.
