Bitcoin is facing renewed selling pressure, raising a pressing question across financial markets: is the world’s largest cryptocurrency heading for its worst monthly performance since the dramatic collapse of the crypto sector in 2022?

Bitcoin slid below the $72,000 mark, a level last seen about 15 months ago, as a broad risk-off mood swept through global markets.

Robinhood Markets is set to enter Indonesia by acquiring local brokerage Buana Capital Sekuritas and licensed crypto trader Pedagang Aset Kripto, the company said in a blog post on Sunday. The move marks the U.S. retail trading platform’s first push into one of Southeast Asia’s fastest-growing digital asset hubs.

France has signaled it may refuse to recognise crypto licences issued by other EU countries, escalating a push to transfer oversight of major crypto firms to the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA).

Crypto markets move in cycles, but each cycle leaves behind defining names. 2025 is no different. In a market where investors weigh technology, culture, and scarcity, three projects are pulling ahead: BullZilla, Bitcoin, and Official Trump.

As 2025 unfolds, low-priced tokens under $0.003 are drawing significant investor attention, and Little Pepe (LILPEPE) is leading the pack. The project recedntly swiftly sold out its 10th stage and entered stage 11 at $0.0020, marking a 100% increase from its initial stage. In record time, over $21.8 million has been raised and more than 14 billion tokens have been sold, highlighting the speed and demand behind the project. With a confirmed listing price of $0.003, investors at this stage are guaranteed a 50% ROI, but momentum and projected adoption suggest potential returns could easily exceed 20x after listing. As market participants search for alternatives to SHIB with clear milestones and measurable upside, Little Pepe (LILPEPE) stands out for its rapid execution, transparent stage progression, and tangible investor returns.

Bitcoin is extending its weekend losses ahead of key macroeconomic events this week that could influence the U.S. Federal Reserve’s September rate cut decision.
