The unrealized loss can be better observed through the drop in market capitalization, which shows a $450-billion wipeout. From Friday to Sunday, the total cryptocurrency market capitalization fell from $4.24 trillion to $3.79 trillion. At the time of writing, the market has already rebounded above $4 trillion.
