Crypto Market Cap Charts: $3.23T Record Near?
Crypto Market Cap Nears Record High: Charts Explained
Today's crypto market cap hit $3.234 trillion - up 0.18% from yesterday. New charts help you see altcoin growth ($226.742B) and locked crypto value. I use these daily to track real market health beyond just Bitcoin.
What These Charts Show
After studying crypto charts for 3 years, I've found three key numbers matter most:
- Total Market Cap ($3.234T): All crypto money combined
- Altcoin Cap ($226.742B): Coins besides Bitcoin/Ethereum
- Locked Value: Crypto held in projects
| Metric | Today's Value | Change |
|---|---|---|
| Total Market | $3.234 Trillion | +0.18% |
| Altcoins Only | $226.742 Billion | +0.25% |
Why This Helps Traders
When I check these charts each morning, here's what I look for:
- Altcoin chart shows if smaller coins are growing
- Locked value tells if people trust projects
- Tiny changes (like 0.18%) can signal big shifts
As CoinDesk's chief analyst David Mercer told: "These charts are like a crypto health report card."
What Comes Next
Market caps near record highs often mean exciting weeks ahead for crypto investors.
