The market capitalization of bitcoin (BTC) currently hovers around $1.98 trillion, mirroring the inherent volatility within the cryptocurrency markets. Around $135 million in BTC longs were wiped out across crypto derivatives markets. Approximately $902 million has been liquidated across the entire crypto economy. Some are calling the Trump inauguration pump a “sell the news” event. Others playfully stated that since this dump happened, “at least the inauguration can’t be [a] sell the news now.”

Trump, of course, has claimed credit for some of BTC’s price highs dubbing it the “Trump effect” in action. In the last 24 hours, bitcoin’s trading volume escalated to $78.49 billion. This heightened activity suggests that market participants are rapidly responding to these recent valuation shifts, perhaps seizing the opportunity provided by the price decrease or divesting their stakes to mitigate losses.

The launch follows the dramatic events of the Trump family’s new meme tokens TRUMP and MELANIA this weekend. This adjustment in BTC’s price also occurs against a backdrop of broader economic elements that persist in posing challenges to the stability of virtual currencies and risk-on assets. As market participants steer through this intricate landscape, the oscillating prices of key players like bitcoin are poised to maintain the focus of both experienced investors and those new to the cryptocurrency arena.
