Crypto Market Dips 1.4% to $3.88 Trillion Amid Broader Volatility

On October 16, 2025, the cryptocurrency market experienced a modest pullback, with total capitalization falling 1.4% to $3.88 trillion, driven by declines across most major assets.

Bitcoin dropped 2.2% to around $110,774, while Ethereum fell 4.4% to $3,993, reflecting ongoing concerns from last week's historic flash crash triggered by renewed U.S.-China trade tensions under President Trump.

Of the top 100 coins, 93 posted losses over the past 24 hours, with trading volume holding at $194 billion. Market sentiment remains in the "fear" zone, as indicated by indices, with investors bracing for potential impacts from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's upcoming speech. Despite the dip, corporate Bitcoin holdings surged nearly 40% in Q3 2025, signaling sustained institutional interest even as prices stagnate.
