Major Losses Recorded in Bitcoin and Leading Altcoins
According to analysts’ calculations, the largest decrease in capitalization is observed in Bitcoin. From November 22, 2025, the market value of this cryptocurrency has dropped from approximately $1.70 trillion to $1.35 trillion, resulting in losses of about $348 billion or 22%.
A significant decline has also been recorded among the top 20 crypto assets by market capitalization (excluding Bitcoin and stablecoins): from $1.07 trillion as of December 2, 2025, they have decreased to $811 billion, indicating a reduction of approximately $260 billion.
Small and Medium Cryptocurrencies and Recommendations for Investors
The segment of medium and small cryptocurrencies has also shown a noticeable decline: capitalization has decreased from $390 billion (as of December 11, 2025) to $268 billion, which is more than $120 billion.
“What we are witnessing is an unprecedented short-term capital outflow that exacerbates the contraction of the crypto economy. […] This is more than just a simple correction — the numbers indicate a genuine exit of investors in a classic risk-off mode,” the experts noted.
Analysts emphasize that in conditions of heightened volatility, market participants should closely monitor on-chain indicators, particularly the cost basis of short-term holders and Bitcoin cycle signals, to make informed investment decisions.
Previously, experts indicated that certain indicators are already signaling a potential accumulation zone for Bitcoin, which could influence future market dynamics.
