$2.67 TRILLION

That's a recent tally of market value across the cryptocurrency world from CoinMarketCap-down from a peak of $3.72 trillion on Dec. 17.

The pullback shows how some of the euphoria stoked by the prospect of a crypto-friendly administration under President Trump is dissipating.

Still, bitcoin remains some way above its pre-election levels. It traded below $68,000 on Nov. 4, the eve of the election.

In recent Friday morning action, it traded at nearly $80,600, having fallen as low as $78,239 earlier in the day.
