Cryptocurrency markets have declined significantly since Donald Trump took office, with major digital assets posting steep losses across the board. The downturn highlights persistent volatility and risk-off sentiment that has weighed on the sector during the period.
Bitcoin falls about 40%, while Ethereum declines roughly 45%. Other major tokens show even deeper drawdowns, including XRP (−59%), Solana (−72%), Dogecoin (−78%), Cardano (−77%), Chainlink (−69%), and Avalanche (−79%).
Several smaller or speculative tokens experience the most severe losses. Assets such as Sui, Toncoin, Ethena, Aptos, and meme-related tokens drop between 77% and 98%, illustrating how lower-liquidity crypto assets tend to amplify downside during market-wide corrections.
