Track Market Capitalization by Crypto Category
One of the most valuable features of the new CRYPTOCAP suite is its ability to monitor the combined market cap of top cryptocurrencies within specific categories. Each index tracks the top 100 coins in its respective segment—though some may include fewer if the category has limited assets.
Here are the newly available category-based indices:
- SOLANA.C: Market cap of the top 100 tokens in the Solana ecosystem
- POLKADOT.C: Polkadot-based projects ranked by market cap
- BNBCHAIN.C: BNB Chain ecosystem leaders
- ETHEREUM.C: Top 100 Ethereum-based tokens
- STABLE.C: Market cap of the top 100 stablecoins
- FIATSTABLE.C: Fiat-backed stablecoins only
- LAYER1.C: Layer 1 blockchain networks
- DEPIN.C: Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN)
- SMARTCONTRACTS.C: Smart contract platforms
- POW.C: Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus-based cryptos
- POS.C: Proof-of-Stake (PoS) based digital assets
- MEME.C: Meme coins gaining traction
- EXCHANGES.C: Exchange-branded tokens (e.g., BNB, OKB)
- AI.C: Artificial intelligence and data management tokens
- RWA.C: Real World Asset (RWA) tokenization projects
- REHYPOTHECATED.C: Rehypothecated asset tokens
- MADEINUSA.C: U.S.-originated crypto projects
- WORLDLIBERTY.C: World Liberty Financial portfolio assets
These indices allow traders to quickly assess which sectors are gaining momentum. For example, a rising AI.C index might signal growing investor interest in AI-integrated blockchain solutions, while spikes in MEME.C could indicate speculative behavior.
You can explore these categories using filters such as “Category”_, _“Blockchain Ecosystem”_, and _“Consensus Algorithm” in the crypto screener. This makes it easy to isolate performance trends across ecosystems and technologies.
Analyze Market Trends Without Major Coins
To better understand altcoin dynamics, several indices now exclude dominant assets like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and stablecoins:
- TOTALES: Top 125 cryptos excluding stablecoins
- TOTAL2ES: Top 125 excluding BTC and stablecoins
- TOTAL3ES: Top 125 excluding BTC, ETH, and stablecoins
- TOTALE50: Market cap of coins ranked #51–125 (excludes top 50)
- TOTALE100: Market cap of coins ranked #101–125
These instruments are particularly useful for identifying shifts in mid-cap and small-cap markets. A surge in TOTAL3ES relative to the overall market may suggest strong altcoin momentum independent of Bitcoin's influence—a key signal for diversification strategies.

Measure Sector Dominance with Ratio Indices
Understanding how individual sectors contribute to the broader market is crucial for strategic positioning. The following dominance metrics help quantify sector influence:
- CRYPTOCAP:STABLE.C.D: Stablecoin share of total crypto market cap
- CRYPTOCAP:TOTALES.D: Non-stablecoin market cap as a % of TOTAL
- CRYPTOCAP:TOTALE50.D: Coins #51–125 as a % of total market cap
- CRYPTOCAP:TOTALE100.D: Coins #101–125 as a % of total market cap
A rising STABLE.C.D value might indicate risk-off sentiment, where investors move capital into stable assets during volatility. Conversely, declining stablecoin dominance often precedes bullish cycles as funds rotate back into riskier assets.
Similarly, increasing weight in lower-ranked coins (TOTALE50.D, TOTALE100.D) suggests broader market participation—often a sign of healthy ecosystem growth.
Evaluate Altcoin Strength Against Bitcoin
Bitcoin remains the benchmark for the entire crypto market. The new BTC-relative indices help measure altcoin strength:
- CRYPTOCAP:TOTAL3ESBTC: Total non-stablecoin market cap (excl. BTC & ETH) vs. BTC
- CRYPTOCAP:OTHERSBTC: Market cap of all cryptos outside the top 10 vs. BTC
When these ratios rise, it signals that capital is flowing into smaller projects rather than concentrating in blue-chip assets. Traders use these metrics to time entries into altseasons or identify when momentum may be waning.
