The cryptocurrency market has experienced a decline of over $730 billion in three months, according to CryptoQuant., 2026/02/21 11:25:34
According to the CryptoQuant platform, the total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies has decreased by more than $730 billion over the past three months. Bitcoin has experienced the largest losses, with its value dropping from $1.70 trillion in November 2025 to approximately $1.35 trillion by mid-February.
“We are witnessing an unprecedented short-term capital outflow that is exacerbating the contraction of the cryptocurrency economy. This is more than a typical correction — the metrics indicate a shift in investor strategy towards risk aversion,” analysts noted.

The sector of mid and small cryptocurrencies has shrunk by more than $120 billion — from $390 billion on December 11 to $268 billion.
