Key Highlights
The U.S. stock market erased nearly $2 trillion in value on Friday as a sharp Wall Street selloff hit technology, semiconductor and crypto-linked stocks. The scale of the rout was so large that it came close to the value of the entire global cryptocurrency market.
S&P 500 companies alone lost about $1.8 trillion in market value during the session. The index dropped 2.64% to close at 7,383.74, while the Nasdaq Composite crashed 4.18% to 25,709.43. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.35% to 50,866.78.
The selloff followed stronger-than-expected U.S. jobs data, which revived fears that the Federal Reserve may keep interest rates higher for longer or even consider another hike. The U.S. economy added 172,000 jobs in May, while the unemployment rate stayed at 4.3%.
That data weakened hopes for near-term rate cuts and triggered a broad risk-off move across markets. Technology stocks took the heaviest damage, with chipmakers and AI-linked names leading the decline.
TradingView’s U.S. stock heatmap at 13:38 IST on June 6 showed a broad red session across major listed companies. The damage was most visible in mega-cap technology and semiconductor stocks.
The heatmap showed that the selloff was not limited to one company or one corner of the market. Nvidia, the largest company by market value, fell 6.20%, while chip peers Micron, AMD, Intel, ARM and Broadcom posted much steeper losses.
| Stock | 1-Day Move |
|---|---|
| Nvidia | -6.20% |
| Apple | -1.25% |
| -0.95% | |
| Microsoft | -2.66% |
| Amazon | -3.06% |
| Meta | -5.51% |
| Tesla | -6.56% |
| Broadcom | -7.92% |
| AMD | -10.86% |
| Micron | -13.25% |
| Intel | -11.28% |
| ARM | -12.84% |
Tesla dropped 6.56%, Meta fell 5.51%, Amazon declined 3.06%, and Microsoft lost 2.66%. Apple and Google saw smaller declines, but both still closed in the red.
The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index suffered one of its sharpest daily declines since March 2020, erasing more than $1 trillion in market value. Nvidia, Intel, Micron, AMD and Broadcom were among the major names hit during the session.
The selloff came after weeks of strong gains in AI and chip stocks. Investors had pushed several tech names to record highs, but stronger jobs data and higher-rate fears quickly turned the rally into a sharp reversal.
The pressure also reached crypto-linked equities. Coinbase and Strategy both fell more than 6% as Bitcoin traded lower and investors reduced exposure to risk assets.
The size of the U.S. stock market wipeout stood out because it nearly matched the entire value of the crypto market.
TradingView’s TOTAL crypto market cap index showed the market near $2.07 trillion, while CoinGecko data placed the global crypto market closer to $2.17 trillion. Based on those live readings, the $1.8 trillion wiped from S&P 500 companies alone equaled roughly 83% to 87% of the total crypto market.
| Market/Index | 24H Move | Damage |
| S&P 500 | -2.6% | ~$1.8T market cap wiped out |
| Nasdaq Composite | -4.2% | Biggest point drop on record: -1,121 points |
| Dow Jones | -1.3% | Down 695 points |
| Semiconductor stocks | PHLX Semi Index -10.3% | Around $1.2T–$1.3T erased |
| Top trillion-dollar tech names | Avg. -5.3% | Around $1.1T lost |
| Crypto Market Cap | -2.17% | ~43.5B market cap wiped out |
This does not mean crypto lost $2 trillion. Instead, it shows the scale of Wall Street’s latest selloff compared with the entire digital asset economy.
The comparison matters because crypto remains tied to the broader risk-asset environment. When U.S. stocks sell off due to higher-rate fears, Bitcoin and altcoins often face pressure from the same forces: tighter liquidity, rising yields, stronger dollar expectations and weaker appetite for speculative assets.
Crypto liquidations are usually measured in hundreds of millions or a few billion dollars. By contrast, one bad day in U.S. equities erased value close to the entire global crypto market.
That scale shows why Wall Street volatility can quickly overshadow crypto-specific narratives. Even when Bitcoin has its own catalysts, macro shocks from U.S. equities and interest-rate expectations can dominate short-term market direction.
Markets will now watch whether the selloff remains concentrated in overheated technology stocks or spreads into broader risk assets. Treasury yields, Federal Reserve commentary and upcoming inflation data will be key triggers for both equities and crypto.
For Bitcoin, the next test is whether it can hold its current range while U.S. stocks digest the rate shock. A deeper equity correction could pressure crypto liquidity further, while stabilization in stocks may help digital assets recover faster.
The main takeaway is clear: Friday’s U.S. stock market rout was not just another red session. Wall Street erased nearly $2 trillion in value, with losses rivaling the size of the entire crypto market.
