I saw in the Coin Gecko report for Q1 2026 that the crypto market has really decreased significantly. The total market value dropped by only 20.4%, reaching just $2.4 trillion from the peak in October 2025, which was extremely high. It’s like a nearly 45% fall from the peak, wow.
Interesting observation: the stablecoin market remains stable at $309.9 billion, but the USDT supply has decreased—first time since Q2 2022. Bitcoin itself dropped 22% this quarter, along with the stock market downturn. But crude oil? It increased by 76.9%, so commodity traders are dominating.
On the trading volume side, CEX spot trading decreased by 39.1% to $2.7 trillion. The heavy monthly low of $0.8 trillion in March is significant. Solana continues to lead in DEX volume with around 30.6% market share. Traders also see Hyperliquid attracting almost 30% of open interest due to 24/7 oil trading opportunities.
Rough quarter for the market, but the data patterns from Coin Gecko are interesting.
