Finbold has analyzed how a hypothetical $1,000 investment in the world’s largest cryptocurrencies would have performed since the inauguration of Donald Trump on January 20, 2025. In this experiment, an investor allocates $100 to each of the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization on Inauguration Day and holds the portfolio until March 5, 2026.

Against this backdrop, most of the largest digital assets have recorded double-digit losses over the past year.
