Crypto Youtube Views Sink To 5-year Lows, ‘it’s Not Just X’ 2026
Crypto content viewership on YouTube has plunged over the past three months, signaling bear market conditions as retail interest in crypto continues to decline.
Viewership of crypto content on YouTube has declined to its lowest level since January 2021 following a sharp retreat over the past three months.
On Sunday, ITC Crypto founder Benjamin Cowen shared a 30-day moving average of views across various crypto YouTube channels, highlighting the drop.
“So it’s not just X and an algorithm change,” he said regarding a similar fall in engagement across crypto channels on microblogging platform X.
It has “collapsed across all platforms, and has had a noticeable local decline since just October,” commented crypto YouTuber Tom Crown.
“This is literally bear market levels of social interest,” said Bitcoin investor “Polaris XBT.”
The trend also reinforces the premise that institutions have been driving markets this cycle, with retail taking a back seat.
YouTube content creator Jesus Martinez echoed the sentiment, saying that he grew his channel from the start of 2022, adding, “I’ve experienced some intense peaks, but nothing ever came close to the few videos I created in the peak of 2021.”
TikTok content creator “Cloud9 Markets” said it could also be due to all the scams and pump and dump schemes for “ponzi” altcoins. “Retail is tired of getting rekt,” they added.
