Current State of the Cryptocurrency Market Capitalization: As of May 2025, the total capitalization of the crypto market ranges between $3.3–3.5 trillion, although at the beginning of January 2025 it reached a peak of $3.66 trillion, after which it decreased by ~28% to $2.65 trillion due to a correction after a sharp rise at the end of 2024. Volatility: The market remains very volatile. For example, Bitcoin (BTC) reached an all-time high of $112,000 in May 2025, but experienced short-term corrections of 5–12% due to profit-taking by investors. Altcoins, particularly meme coins (Dogecoin, Shiba Inu), lost 6–37% of their value in the first quarter of 2025. Fear and Greed Index: As of May 2025, the index stands at ~72 (greed), indicating high investor interest, but also the risk of correction due to excessive optimism.
