Today’s Crypto News – November 14 2025

1. Bitcoin Slides Below $100K as Liquidity Crunch Weighs

The price of Bitcoin fell back beneath the $100,000 mark amid a broader pull-back in risk assets and indications of waning liquidity.

The Czech National Bank disclosed that it has acquired about US$1 million in Bitcoin and other crypto-assets as part of a trial to understand digital-asset infrastructure and policy implications. This reflects a growing trend of central banks exploring crypto holdings as part of strategic experimentation.

4. U.S. Government Reopens, Crypto Regulation Resumes

With the end of the 42-day US federal government shutdown, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and other agencies are poised to resume work on crypto-related oversight and approvals.
