What Cryptocurrency Market Cap & Price Tracker Does
This tool lists the largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, with price, 24-hour change, market cap and trading volume, pulled live from the CoinGecko API when it is reachable.
Market capitalization is a single multiplication: circulating supply times current price. It is useful for one thing — ranking assets by size on a comparable basis — and it is routinely read as something it is not. It is not the amount of money invested in an asset, it is not what holders would receive if they all sold, and comparing two coins by price per unit rather than by market cap is meaningless, because supply differs by many orders of magnitude.
The figures below are measured, not recalled. On 11 September 2026 the whole asset class was worth about $2.65 trillion across 21,084 tracked cryptocurrencies, with Bitcoin at 58.2% of that total and Ethereum at 11.7%.

Formula Used by Cryptocurrency Market Cap & Price Tracker
Market capitalization
market cap = circulating supply × price
- circulating supply
- Units publicly available and tradeable — excludes locked, reserved and provably burned coins
- price
- The last traded price, on one reference market or a volume-weighted blend
Worked example
Bitcoin on 11 September 2026: 20,082,856 BTC circulating, price $77,175.
- 20,082,856 × 77,175 = $1,549,894,411,800
- Reported market cap: $1,549,903,341,604
Result: About $1.55 trillion. The small discrepancy is the reference price moving between the two fields being sampled — the figure is a snapshot of a continuously changing product, not an exact quantity.
Why market cap is not money invested
Δ market cap = circulating supply × Δ price
- Δ price
- Change produced by the most recent trade, whatever its size
Worked example
A single trade moves the Bitcoin price by 0.1%, from $77,175 to $77,252.
- The trade itself may be worth a few thousand dollars
- Every one of the 20,082,856 circulating coins is revalued at the new price
- Market cap change: 0.001 × $1,549,903,341,604 = $1,549,903,342
Result: A trade of a few thousand dollars adds about $1.55 billion of market capitalization. Market cap is the last price extrapolated across the entire float — it measures valuation, not capital inflow, and no amount of it can be withdrawn.
Fully diluted valuation, and the gap it hides
FDV = maximum supply × price
- maximum supply
- The hard cap on units that can ever exist; undefined for coins with no cap
Worked example
XRP on 11 September 2026: 62,879,209,849 circulating of a 100,000,000,000 maximum, at $1.36.
- Market cap: 62,879,209,849 × 1.36 = $85.5 billion
- FDV: 100,000,000,000 × 1.36 = $136.0 billion
- Circulating share: 62,879,209,849 ÷ 100,000,000,000 = 62.9%
Result: A $50.5 billion gap. Ranking by market cap and ranking by FDV give different answers, and the difference is the supply still to be released — which, when it is, arrives as sell pressure. Compare Bitcoin, where 95.6% of the maximum supply already circulates and the two figures are within 5%.
Supply Released, 11 September 2026
Circulating supply as a share of maximum supply, from the CoinGecko markets endpoint. A low share usually means a large amount of the asset has yet to reach the market — BNB is the exception, because its supply falls over time rather than rising.
| Asset | Circulating | Maximum supply | Share released |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bitcoin | 20,082,856 | 21,000,000 | 95.6% |
| XRP | 62,879,209,849 | 100,000,000,000 | 62.9% |
| Cardano | 37,510,482,444 | 45,000,000,000 | 83.4% |
| BNB | 133,161,094 | 200,000,000 originally issued | 66.6% — but BNB burns supply rather than releasing it, so the cap is a ceiling it moves away from |
| Ethereum | 122,038,476 | No fixed maximum | Not applicable |
| Solana | 586,537,237 | No fixed maximum | Not applicable |
Liquidity: 24-Hour Volume Against Market Cap
Daily turnover as a percentage of market capitalization, same snapshot. A high ratio means the market cap rests on a lot of actual trading; a low one means a large valuation supported by comparatively little.
| Asset | Volume ÷ market cap |
|---|---|
| Ethereum | 7.71% |
| Cardano | 7.44% |
| Solana | 7.15% |
| XRP | 3.21% |
| Bitcoin | 2.24% |
| BNB | 1.15% |
Three Supply Figures That Get Confused
Trackers report all three. Only the first is used to compute market cap.
| Figure | What it counts |
|---|---|
| Circulating supply | Publicly available and tradeable now. Excludes locked, vesting, reserved and burned units |
| Total supply | Everything issued so far, minus verified burns. Includes locked and unvested units |
| Maximum supply | The hard cap the protocol permits. Undefined for coins with no cap, such as Ethereum |
How to Read Your Result
Price per coin tells you nothing on its own
It is a persistent intuition that a coin priced at $0.21 is "cheap" and one at $77,175 is "expensive", and it is simply an error. Price equals market cap divided by supply, and supply varies by a factor of billions across the assets in this list. Cardano trades at twenty cents because there are 37.5 billion of them; Bitcoin trades in the tens of thousands because there are twenty million. For an asset to "reach $1" tells you nothing until you multiply by its supply — for XRP at its maximum supply, a $10 price would imply a trillion-dollar valuation. The comparable number between two assets is market cap, never unit price.
A market cap cannot be cashed out
The arithmetic above shows why. Market cap applies the most recent price to every circulating unit, but only a fraction of those units is anywhere near an order book at any moment. Across the whole asset class on this snapshot, 24-hour volume was $107.2 billion against a $2.65 trillion market cap — about 4% turnover in a day. Selling a position large relative to that flow moves the price down as it executes, so the realized proceeds are always less, often far less, than the quoted valuation implies. The same applies to any claim that an asset "lost $X billion" in a fall: nobody lost that sum, because it was never contributed.
Compare FDV when a coin has unreleased supply
A newly launched token can show a modest market cap purely because very little of it has been released, while its fully diluted valuation sits many multiples higher. The unreleased portion is usually held by the team, early investors and a treasury, on a vesting schedule, and when it unlocks it can be sold. Ranking a low-float token alongside Bitcoin on market cap alone compares a 5%-circulating asset with a 95.6%-circulating one as though they were the same kind of thing. Look up the circulating share and the unlock schedule before treating a market cap as comparable.
The volume ratio is the honest liquidity check
Turnover against market cap is the quickest available test of whether a valuation is supported by real trading. In this snapshot it ranges from 1.15% for BNB to 7.71% for Ethereum — a near sevenfold spread among six large assets. A ratio of a small fraction of a percent, which is common further down the rankings, means the market cap is a large number resting on very little flow, and that exiting a position of any size will move the price. Treat an unusually high ratio with the same suspicion, since reported volume can be inflated by wash trading on unregulated venues.
Limitations & Accuracy Notes
- A wrapper over the CoinGecko public API. It adds no data of its own and inherits whatever that source reports.
- The public API is rate limited. When a request fails the table falls back to a stored snapshot from 11 September 2026, and the header says so explicitly rather than implying the figures are live.
- Fallback rows show no 24-hour change, because a stored constant does not have one.
- Circulating supply is an estimate. Exchanges, foundations and treasuries hold units that are counted or excluded by judgement, and methodologies differ between trackers — the same coin can show a different market cap on two sites.
- Prices are aggregated across venues, so no figure here is a price you can actually trade at.
- Top assets by market cap only. No search, no historical charts, no portfolio tracking and no per-coin detail.
- Nothing here is investment advice, a valuation, or a signal. It is a size ranking with the arithmetic explained.
