The United States stock market lost more in value over the April 4 trading day than the entire cryptocurrency market is worth, as fears over US President Donald Trump's tariffs continue to ramp up.
On April 4, the US stock market lost $3.25 trillion — around $570 billion more than the entire crypto market's $2.68 trillion valuation at the time of publication.
Nasdaq 100 is now "in a bear market"
Among the Magnificent-7 stocks, Tesla (TSLA) led the losses on the day with a 10.42% drop, followed by Nvidia (NVDA) down 7.36% and Apple (AAPL) falling 7.29%, according to TradingView data.
The significant decline across the board signals that the Nasdaq 100 is now "in a bear market" after falling 6% across the trading day, trading resource account The Kobeissi Letter said in an April 4 X post. This is the largest daily decline since March 16, 2020.
"US stocks have now erased a massive -$11 TRILLION since February 19 with recession odds ABOVE 60%," it added. The Kobessi Letter said Trump's April 2 tariff announcement was "historic" and if the tariffs continue, a recession will be "impossible to avoid."
On April 2, Trump signed an executive order establishing reciprocal tariffs on trading partners and a 10% baseline tariff on all imports from all countries.
Trump said the reciprocal tariffs will be roughly half the rate US trading partners impose on American goods.

Meanwhile, the crypto industry has pointed out that while the stock market continues to decline, Bitcoin (BTC) remains stronger than most expected.
Crypto trader Plan Markus pointed out in an April 4 X post that while the entire stock market “is tanking,” Bitcoin is holding.
Even some crypto skeptics have pointed out the contrast between Bitcoin's performance and the US stock market during the recent period of macro uncertainty.
Stock market commentator Dividend Hero told his 203,200 X followers that he has "hated on Bitcoin in the past, but seeing it not tank while the stock market does is very interesting to me."
Meanwhile, technical trader Urkel said Bitcoin "doesn't appear to care one bit about tariff wars and markets tanking." Bitcoin is trading at $83,749 at the time of publication, down 0.16% over the past seven days, according to CoinMarketCap data.
