How to read the chart

The chart shows where money moves within a day. When almost all sectors sit in the same range, the market moves as a whole, usually in step with Bitcoin. When individual sectors stand out, a theme of their own is at play: news about artificial intelligence, a wave in memecoins or an upgrade to a particular blockchain.

The size behind each bar helps with context. A small sector moves by double-digit percentages more easily than a large one holding hundreds of billions of dollars. If you want to know whether a theme really moves the market, look for large sectors with a notable change. The values are fetched again every 15 minutes.

How this number is produced

Twelve thematic sectors, each with its 24-hour change in market capitalisation and its size. Sectors are addressed by fixed CoinMarketCap identifiers rather than by name.

What it does not say

Sectors overlap: a coin can sit in several of them. The selection is deliberately curated, because a ranking across all categories would be led by fund portfolios, a bankruptcy estate and catch-all buckets that all contain Bitcoin and are therefore all roughly the same size.

Frequently asked questions

Which crypto sectors does the chart show?

Twelve sectors: Layer 1, Layer 2, Liquid Staking, Restaking, DEX Token, Real World Assets, Perpetuals, Privacy, Meme Coins, DePIN, AI & Big Data and Oracles. They are requested from CoinMarketCap by fixed identifiers. The selection covers the major themes of the market without catch-all categories such as fund portfolios that hold little besides Bitcoin.

Why can a coin appear in several sectors?

The sectors describe themes, not separate drawers. A token can belong to Layer 2 and to Real World Assets at the same time if the project is both. The changes of the sectors therefore cannot be added up. Each bar shows how the coins of that one theme moved together.

What does a sector in the red mean when the market is rising?

The theme is losing favour against the overall market that day. Often there is news that only affects this area, or investors are taking profits after an earlier rise. A single day is not a trend. Only when a sector lags the market for several days is a closer look worthwhile.
