From ChatGPT
Proportion in 1987 (two days before the crash): 0.36%
Proportion in 2025 (April 3-4, 2025): 0.66%
Thus, the proportion of trading volume relative to global market capitalization in April 2025 is almost twice as high as it was in the two days before the 1987 crash. This indicates that, while both periods saw heightened trading volumes, the trading volumes relative to the total market capitalization were significantly larger in 2025. This could reflect increased market activity, higher liquidity, or a different market structure in modern financial markets.
