📉 From Euphoria to Reality in 4 Months



Nearly 50% Market Cap Gone in just 120 days.

🗓 Oct 7, 2025 — Total Crypto Market Cap: $4.26T
🗓 Feb 6, 2026 — Total Crypto Market Cap: $2.16T

That’s a $2.1 TRILLION wipeout.

And yes… we’ve seen worse.

Let’s zoom out 👇

🔻 2014–2015 Bear Market

• Market cap fell ~-86%
• From ~$15B → ~$2B

Mt. Gox collapsed.
70% of Bitcoin volume vanished overnight.
Trust was shattered. Exchanges failed.
Crypto was declared “dead” for the first time.

🔻 2018 Bear Market

• Market cap crashed ~-84%
• From ~$830B → ~$130B

The ICO bubble imploded.
Projects with no product evaporated.
BTC fell from $20K to $3K.
ETH dropped ~94% at the lows.
Leverage got annihilated. Retail disappeared.

🔻 2022 Bear Market

• Market cap dropped ~-77%
• From ~$3T → ~$760B

$LUNA collapsed in days.
Three Arrows Capital liquidated.
Celsius froze withdrawals.
FTX went bankrupt.
Contagion spread across the entire industry.

That was maximum fear.

📉 Current Drawdown

We’re sitting around ~49% down from the peak.

Painful? Absolutely.
Historic? Not yet.

True crypto bears didn’t stop at 30–40%.
They:

• Crushed sentiment
• Broke leverage
• Forced capitulation
• Made people swear they’d “never touch crypto again”

So here’s the uncomfortable question:

Is this just a violent mid-cycle reset?
Or is the deeper capitulation still ahead?

The market just erased $2.1T in value.

Now we watch carefully.

Because every brutal reset in history
eventually became the foundation
for the next expansion.
