What caused the big crypto crash of April 2025?

Monday, April 7, 2025, will go down as one of the most intense days in the crypto market in recent memory. Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), XRP, and many other digital currencies took heavy hits. Bitcoin lost more than 10% of its value within a few hours, and XRP dropped by over 20%. The total market capitalization of the crypto sector shrank by tens of billions of dollars. Liquidations surged past $1.3 billion.

It was a day full of panic, uncertainty, and massive sell-offs. Analysts described it as a classic “risk-off” moment, where investors quickly exit risky assets at the first sign of political or economic instability.

What triggered the crypto crash?

This time, the cause didn’t come from within the crypto space, but from global politics and trade tensions. With former President Donald Trump returning to office and announcing plans for major import tariffs, fears of a new trade war quickly spread. His proposed tariffs on technology imports from Asia especially caused unease in global markets.

Investors worried about slower international trade, economic tensions, and a possible domino effect that could impact major tech companies and growth sectors. In that context, cryptocurrencies, already known for their volatility, were quickly sold off.

Bitcoin under pressure, altcoins drop sharply

Bitcoin fell from $83,000 to under $75,000 in a single day, breaking through key support levels. But it was mainly the altcoins that took the hardest hits. ETH, XRP, SOL, and ADA all saw declines between 15% and 25%.

Bitcoin dominance increased, a typical sign that investors are seeking safety in what’s seen as the most “reliable” cryptocurrency. Even so, it offered little protection from the broader market downturn.

Confidence lost across the board

The impact wasn’t limited to falling prices. Traders using leverage saw their positions wiped out in seconds. Total losses exceeded $1.37 billion.

Both individual investors and professional traders suffered heavy blows. On social media, people called it “the hardest hit since 2022,” and platforms like X (formerly Twitter) were flooded with screenshots of portfolios dropping to zero.
