Internet Computer (ICP)

cryptocurrency.com.tr reports that nearly every major cryptocurrency from the last bull run is trading far below its peak, with investment losses reaching 99%. A Taurex study identifies Internet Computer as the single biggest wealth destroyer, having shed 99.69% of its value since peaking in May 2021. This decline means an investor who bought at the top would now hold a fraction of a cent for every dollar invested.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for ICP, measured when this story was written up on 2 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio spot data shows ICP trading at $2.48 with a 24-hour buy ratio of 49.8%, indicating a near-even split between buyers and sellers. The 1-hour buy ratio has risen to 54.4%, suggesting short-term buying pressure is building compared to the 4-hour and 24-hour readings. Volume Delta reflects this shift, turning positive to +$10,173 in the last hour after negative readings of -$5,215 and -$24,096 over the 4-hour and 24-hour periods. This indicates that while net selling dominated the day, recent trades have favored buyers, contributing to a positive Cumulative Volume Delta of +$227,874 at the 24-hour close.
The latest daily buy ratio of 47.8% sits at the 27th percentile of the last 281 days, against a median of 49.1% - weaker buying than most days.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for ICP, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, ICP experienced a 4.2% price increase and saw net buying on 5 of 7 days. The 7-day average buy ratio stood at 50.4%, slightly higher than the current 24-hour reading of 49.8%. Volume was 1.18x the average, though the 8-day Volume Delta remained negative at -$154,937. This suggests that while trading activity is elevated, the recent daily flow is slightly less bullish than the weekly average.
