- Crypto Giving Back Post-Election Market Cap Gains — this brief
Bitcoin.com reports that the crypto market gained approximately $100 billion in market value during the first week of November following the U.S. midterm elections. That advance was short-lived, with the reported gains surrendered as a global sell-off in technology stocks weighed on risk assets.
The reversal was most visible in major cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin trades at $75,717, down 0.03% over 24 hours and 2.85% over seven days, while its market capitalization stands at $1.52 trillion. 
XRP is also lower, at $1.16, with a 0.49% daily decline and a steeper 7.55% weekly loss; its market capitalization is $73.38 billion.
Against those weekly declines, the broader crypto market is currently comparatively stable. Total market capitalization is $2.6 trillion and the overall market is flat over 24 hours, indicating that Bitcoin.com's reported rally reversal was a broader risk move rather than an immediate market-wide collapse. The current Fear & Greed reading is 28, placing sentiment in the Fear category.
The source connects the election-driven increase with the subsequent technology-stock sell-off, although it provides no company-specific or macroeconomic explanation. The live data shows a mixed horizon: Bitcoin and XRP are both nearly unchanged over 24 hours but remain below their levels from a week earlier, with XRP experiencing the larger decline. What follows will depend on whether risk appetite and technology-stock performance stabilize, while the current sentiment reading shows that investor caution remains elevated.
