Over $200B Wiped From Crypto Markets After Trump Ignores Crypto in Ceremony Speech
The highly anticipated inauguration ceremony of Donald Trump as the 47th US president took place, but he failed to mention cryptocurrency in his speech, causing a massive crash in the market. Bitcoin's price tumbled by over $5,000 during the inauguration but briefly spiked during the speech. However, once it became clear that Trump would not mention the digital asset industry, BTC and the market as a whole plummeted. Many altcoins, including Trump's official meme coin, also experienced significant losses. The total crypto market cap decreased from over $3.850 trillion to $3.6 trillion during the crash. The wrecked positions reached nearly $200 million, with around 400,000 traders being liquidated.
