Crypto Trading Drops 70% as Post-Election Hype Fades

In Summary

  • Crypto trading volumes fell 70% from post-election highs
  • Daily volumes dropped from $126B to $35B amid market uncertainty
  • Crypto market cap declined 25% from its $3.9T peak
  • Investors await Trump’s regulatory stance before re-entering the market


Catenaa, WEdnesday, April 02, 2025-Cryptocurrency trading on Monday volumes have dropped 70% from their post-election peak, falling from $126 billion daily to $35 billion, as market enthusiasm wanes. 

Following Donald Trump’s Nov. 5 election victory, trading volumes surged amid speculative interest.

However, recent tariff announcements and regulatory uncertainty have dampened activity, bringing volumes back to pre-election levels.

The total cryptocurrency market capitalization has also declined 25% from its $3.9 trillion peak. 

Market observers suggest this downturn could signal an accumulation phase, as investors await regulatory clarity from the Trump administration. Historically, prolonged low-volume periods have preceded major market moves due to liquidity constraints. 

Upcoming decisions on cryptocurrency classification and oversight structures could serve as potential catalysts for renewed market activity.
