Crypto prices today, on Tuesday, February 11, 2026, took a sharp turn for the worse. Major coins traded in the red zone as a high-stakes meeting at the White House failed to produce a deal on crypto laws. This lack of progress in Washington is creating a wave of worry for investors.
Bitcoin (BTC) has fallen to the $67,000 price level, dragging the rest of the market down with it. Most top altcoins of the world have slipped more than 3%. The global crypto market cap is down by 2.86% to $2.31 trillion at press time. Crypto news today is dominated by a sense of deep-seated fragility, as activity in long-dormant Satoshi-linked wallets and Indian crypto regulatory discussions further fuel volatility.
Here’s why the crypto market is crashing today based on CoinMarketCap data.
Bitcoin price today dropped 3.17% to $67,539.48, failing to hold the $70,000 level that many traders hoped would act as support. For those keeping score, we are now roughly 50% off the October 2025 highs of $126,000. The buy-the-dip crowd is finding it harder to find a footing as global regulatory uncertainties continue.
CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “toward the $68,500 region before dip buyers quickly stepped in to stabilize prices after a brief move lower. The recovery that followed has been measured, with BTC continuing to trade below the $70,000 level. For now, BTC appears to be digesting recent moves, likely trading between $68,500 support and $70,000 resistance until a clearer breakout sets the next direction.”
Nischal Shetty, Founder of WazirX, explained the Indian perspective, commenting, ” What’s particularly interesting is how this is playing out in India. On Indian exchanges, Ethereum and Bitcoin indicate continued core-asset participation even during low-momentum phases. At the same time, sustained volumes in assets like SHIB, TRX, SOL, and XRP show that retail interest has become selective and tactical.”
Founder of WazirX added, “Interestingly, in bullish news from institutional investors, U.S. bitcoin ETFs registered back-to-back inflows worth $616 million for the first time in a month. Investors with historically large amounts of Bitcoin holdings have recently gone on a buying spree, steadying prices to some extent even though larger retail sentiment remains cautious amidst subdued risk appetite.”
