Crypto Market Gives Back Nearly All Gains from 2024 and 2025 in Round Trip
Summary
The cryptocurrency market has largely erased the gains achieved during the pump that followed the 2024 US Presidential election, losing approximately 40% of its value from the peak recorded in October 2025. The Total3 Market Cap, which excludes Bitcoin and Ether, initially surged over 91% post-election to $1.16 trillion by December 2024, up from $600 billion. After some volatility, it hit a new high of about $1.19 trillion in October 2025 before a major crash. Currently, Total3 sits around $713 billion, similar to November 2024 levels, with no signs of recovery. Major assets like Bitcoin and Ether also saw significant drops, with ETH falling 60% from its August 2025 high. Investor sentiment is extremely low, reflected by the Fear and Greed Index sitting at 14, indicating "extreme fear."
