Crypto market wipes $80 billion in 24-hour crash

On Sunday and Monday, the cryptocurrency market experienced a veritable upsurge as Bitcoin ( BTC ) rallied above $90,000, and the total digital assets market capitalization soared back above $3.1 trillion. The upswing – triggered by President Donald Trump’s latest strategic crypto reserve announcement – proved ephemeral and was cut short by none other than Trump himself. BTC one-week price chart.

The announcement sparked immediate retaliation from affected countries, while America’s southern neighbour announced that a delayed response does not mean one will not come. Crypto market collapses $400 billion from March highs Both the cryptocurrency and stock markets reacted violently to the developments, with digital assets wiping over $80 billion from their market capitalization within just 24 hours and crashing $400 billion from their Monday morning highs, per the data Finbold retrieved from TradingView .

Bitcoin lost $9,205 within 24 hours and is now changing hands at $81,713. Ethereum (ETH) is simultaneously down 11.19% to $2,045, and XRP fell 11.67% to $2.33. ETH and XRP 24-hour price charts.

Bitcoin’s status as digital gold first became seriously questioned as the world’s premier cryptocurrency experienced a price drop during Operation True Promise 2.0 – Iran’s retaliatory missile strike on Israel in October – and digital assets have suffered from a series of bloodbaths in 2025 on artificial intelligence ( AI ) and tariff-related developments. Trump tariffs trigger market-wide wipe The latest drop extends beyond the cryptocurrency market. Major U.S. stock market indices started the Tuesday session significantly in the red, with the S&P 500 rapidly falling 1.9% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) 1.7%. Gold , the traditional safe-haven asset, hasn’t been fully spared either. Despite being 0.34% in the green in the last four hours, it is $21 below its Tuesday high as it is changing hands at $2,906 at press time.
