A new report has revealed that nearly 90% of cryptocurrency investors are currently facing significant losses, as the digital asset market continues to struggle under sustained bearish pressure.
The report, compiled by leading blockchain analytics firm ChainMetric Insights, shows that a majority of retail investors who entered the market during the 2021–2022 bull run have seen their portfolios shrink by over 60%. Popular coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana have all suffered sharp corrections from their all-time highs, with many altcoins losing over 90% of their value.
“Retail sentiment has hit a low point. Fear and uncertainty are dominating the space,” said Maya Tan, senior analyst at ChainMetric. “Only early adopters or those who cashed out during the highs have managed to avoid major losses.”
Experts point to several causes: regulatory crackdowns in major economies, waning institutional interest, the collapse of high-profile projects, and global economic instability. Despite recent technological developments and growing interest in blockchain use cases, the crypto market remains volatile and unpredictable.
Analysts warn that recovery may take longer than many expect, and advise caution for new investors entering the space.$BTC $ETH
