On October 10, 2025, the crypto market crashed again.
But let’s be honest , this isn’t new. It happened during COVID-19 in 2020, during the China ban in 2021, and again during the FTX collapse in 2022.
Every cycle repeats the same pattern: panic, liquidation, and despair — followed by an incredible recovery that rewards those who stayed brave when others gave up.
The History of Crypto Crashes and Liquidations
Every major crash has its trigger and every one wipes out billions in leveraged positions. Yet, each time, it sets the stage for a new rally.
| Crash Period / Trigger | BTC Price Drop (Approx.) | Reported Liquidations / Losses |
|---|---|---|
| March 2020 – COVID-19 Crash | $9,100 → $4,200 (-54%) | ~$1.2 billion+ in crypto liquidations across exchanges |
| May 2021 – China Mining Ban & Leverage Unwind | $58,000 → $30,000 (-48%) | Several billion in leveraged positions erased |
| November 2022 – FTX Collapse | $21,000 → $16,000 (-24%) | ~$3.2 billion in BTC withdrawn from exchanges within days |
| October 2025 – Global Sell-Off | $69,000 → $48,000 (-30%) | ~$19 billion liquidated in a single day (record high) |
Each crash has a different cause but the reaction is always the same: fear leads to forced selling, and that’s when opportunity appears.
Fortune Favors the Brave
When fear grips the market, weak hands sell. Prices fall fast, often overshooting real value.
But those who stay calm or better yet, buy during the panic — are the ones who gain the most when the market rebounds.
The crypto market has proven this pattern time and again. Those who bought the crash in 2020, 2021, or 2022 made substantial gains.
The Reward of Bravery: Gains After the Crash
| Crash (date of low) | BTC crash low | Next bull-run peak (date) | BTC peak price | Approx. gain |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| COVID-19 crash (Mar 13 2020) | $3,867 | Nov 10 2021 | $68,789 | +1,680% |
| China-ban drawdown (Jul 20 2021) | $29,301 | Nov 10 2021 | $68,789 | +135% |
| FTX collapse (Nov 21 2022) | $15,480 | Mar 14 2024 | $73,750 | +377% |
| Oct 10 2025 sell-off | ≈ $104,782 | (Next peak TBD) | — | TBD |
The lesson is clear: every crash has been a buying opportunity for those with courage and patience.
Don’t Panic — Prepare
During a crash, liquidity dries up because sellers dominate. But this also creates the best price entry for long-term investors.
It’s not time to panic. It’s time to prepare. Arrange your funds. Watch the market. When fear peaks, it’s time to buy the dip.
