Cryptocurrency Prices & Profiles

How to read a coin page

Start with the headline figures. Price is the current quote in US dollars. Market cap is that price multiplied by the coins in circulation, so it tells you the size of a network, not how much money has flowed into it. Trading volume is the value that changed hands over the past day. A coin with a large market cap and thin volume can move sharply on modest orders. The chart and the history page show how the price has behaved over longer stretches, which says more than a single day’s change. Market data pages rebuild about every five minutes from live data feeds, so a figure can trail the market slightly between rebuilds. Stablecoins need a different reading. Their price should sit close to one dollar, and the useful question is how the issuer backs that peg. Our USDC explainer walks through the mechanics.

How the list was put together and sourced

This is a set of profiles, not a ranking, and inclusion is not a recommendation. If you want coins ordered by size, use the coin rankings by market cap. The text on each page is drafted with help from AI language models working from our recorded data. Automated checks then compare it with that record and reject unsupported claims. Every article shows the team that signs it, the date it was published and the date its text last changed. Those dates move only when the text changes. Pages that rely on outside material list it under “Sources cited on this page”. Fintrev has no paid partnerships and no affiliate links, and no brand can pay for a review, a score or a place in a ranking. The full process is set out in our methodology.

What to watch out for

Crypto prices can fall quickly and by large amounts, and buying, holding or trading coins carries a real risk of loss. Nothing here is financial advice. Figures for the same coin often differ slightly from one exchange or data source to another, because each venue has its own order book and fees. Daily volume can also be inflated on some venues, so treat it as a rough signal rather than a precise count. Before acting on a price move, check the wider market. The Fear & Greed index gives a quick read on sentiment, and the crypto profit calculator lets you test what a position would look like after a given price change, including a loss.
