Total crypto market capitalization shed approximately $467\u2013500 billion (estimates vary slightly by source), with Bitcoin leading the rout by plunging roughly 40% from its late-January local high near $126,000 to a 15-month intraday low of $71,800\u2013$72,200 on February 4\u20135.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The crash erased speculative froth built during the late-2025 euphoria phase and triggered widespread deleveraging: cumulative futures liquidations exceeded $16 billion in ten days, with single-day peaks reaching $2.5\u2013$3 billion. The Crypto Fear &amp; Greed Index collapsed into single digits (14\u201323 range), signaling extreme capitulation.
