By 2025, the Bitcoin market cap had grown to over ******** billion USD as the cryptocurrency kept growing. Market capitalization is calculated by multiplying the total number of Bitcoins in circulation by the Bitcoin price. The Bitcoin market capitalization increased from approximately *** billion U.S. dollars in 2013 to several times this amount since its surge in popularity. Dominance The Bitcoin market cap takes up a significant portion of the overall cryptocurrency market cap. This is referred to as "dominance". Within the crypto world, this so-called "dominance" ratio is one of the oldest and most investigated metrics available. It measures the coin's market cap relative to the overall crypto market — effectively showing how strong Bitcoin compared to all the other cryptocurrencies that are not BTC, called "altcoins". The Bitcoin dominance was above ** percent. Maximum supply and scarcity Bitcoin is unusual from other cryptocurrencies in that its maximum supply is getting closer. By 2025, well over ** million out of all 21 million possible Bitcoin had been created. Bitcoin's supply is expected to reach its maximum around the year 2140, likely making mining more energy-intensive.

Bitcoin's role within the overall cryptocurrency market picked up in 2024, whilst Ethereum lost terrain to currencies like Solana. This according to a metric that compares a coin's market cap relative to the overall crypto market called "dominance". This ratio shows how strong, for example, Bitcoin is compared to all the other cryptocurrencies. A comparison between Bitcoin and multiple other coins reveals that the shape of the crypto market has changed dramatically over time. Bitcoin typically has a dominance of over ** percent, so the interest for analysts lies more in whether Bitcoin's market share has gone up or down when compared to altcoins.

It is estimated that the cumulative market cap of cryptocurrencies increased in early 2023 after the downfall in November 2022 due to FTX. That value declined in the summer of 2023, however, as international uncertainty grew over a potential recession. Bitcoin's market cap comprised the majority of the overall market capitalization. What is market cap? Market capitalization is a financial measure typically used for publicly traded firms, computed by multiplying the share price by the number of outstanding shares. However, cryptocurrency analysts calculate it as the price of the virtual currencies times the number of coins in the market. This gives cryptocurrency investors an idea of the overall market size, and watching the evolution of the measure tells how much money is flowing in or out of each cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency as an investment The price of Bitcoin has been erratic, and most other cryptocurrencies follow its larger price swings. This volatility attracts investors who hope to buy when the price is low and sell at its peak, turning a profit. However, this does little for price stability. As such, few firms accept payment in cryptocurrencies. As of October 01, 2025, the cumulative market cap of cryptocurrencies reached a value of *******.

A league table of the *** cryptocurrencies with the highest market cap reveals how diverse each crypto is and potentially how much risk is involved when investing in one. Bitcoin (BTC), for instance, had a so-called “high cap”—a “market cap worth more than ** billion U.S. dollars—indicating this crypto project has a certain track record or, at the very least, is considered a major player in the cryptocurrency space. This is different in Decentralize Finance (DeFi), where Bitcoin is only a relatively new player. A concentrated market The number of existing cryptocurrencies is several thousands, even if most have a limited significance. Indeed, Bitcoin and Ethereum account for nearly ** percent of the entire crypto market capitalization. As crypto is relatively easy to create, the range of projects varies significantly—from improving payments to solving real-world issues, but also meme coins and more speculative investments. Crypto is not considered a payment method While often talked about as an investment vehicle, cryptocurrencies have not yet established a clear use case in day-to-day life. Central bankers found the usefulness of crypto in domestic payments or remittances to be negligible. A forecast for the world's main online payment methods took a similar stance: It predicts that cryptocurrency would only take up *** percent of total transaction value by 2027.

The Cryptocurrency Prices dataset includes prices and market capitalization data for popular cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple. The data covers daily prices and market capitalization from the inception of each cryptocurrency up to the present day.

The dataset is well-suited for exploratory data analysis, time series analysis, and predictive modeling tasks related to cryptocurrencies. It can be used to examine historical price trends, correlations between different cryptocurrencies, and the overall market capitalization of the cryptocurrency market. Additionally, the data can be used to build models that predict future prices or market capitalization> of specific cryptocurrencies.

Each row of the dataset represents a single day of trading for a particular cryptocurrency. The columns of the dataset include the following:

• Cryptocurrency Name
• Open Price: the opening price of the cryptocurrency on the trading day
• Volume: the volume of the cryptocurrency traded on the trading day
• Market Cap: the total market capitalization of the cryptocurrency on the trading day
• CMC Rank
• Dominance
• Year till date Price Change Percentage

The dataset includes data for multiple cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Ripple, and many others. Each cryptocurrency has its own set of data columns in the dataset.

This dataset can be helpful for data analysts, data scientists, traders, investors, and anyone interested in exploring the cryptocurrency market. It is intended to facilitate research and analysis of the market and the underlying factors affecting various cryptocurrency prices and market capitalization.

The share of stablecoins within the overall crypto market was below that of Ethereum (ETH) and Bitcoin (BTC). This would mark a significant rise of the digital asset, as earlier calculations from December 2021 indicated a stablecoin market share of ***** percent. What may play a part in these figures is that “regular” cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum saw a significant decline in price between May and June 2022, leading to their market cap declining as well. Fiat-backed stablecoins like Tether, U.S. Dollar Coin, and Binance USD, on the other hand, were not as impacted. That said, the crash of algorithmic stablecoin TerraUSD and its token Terra (LUNA) led to much uncertainty on whether non-fiat-backed stablecoins could work.

Context

This dataset provides a comprehensive overview of the cryptocurrency market, covering key metrics for over 10,000 cryptocurrencies. It includes real-time data on prices, percentage changes over various timeframes (1 hour, 24 hours, 7 days, 60 days, 90 days, and year-to-date), market capitalization, trading volumes, circulating supply, total supply, and more. The dataset is ideal for analyzing cryptocurrency trends, identifying market leaders, and understanding trading dynamics.

5. Supply Dynamics: Study the impact of supply metrics on price and liquidity.

Decentralized finance or DeFi became less important within the overall crypto market, after its market share declined in 2022. This decline continued over the course of that year, when the DeFi TLV - total value locked, essentially the market size - decreased more and more. What exactly is DeFi, however? Whilst there is no general consensus what this market entails exactly, it generally refers to financial applications built atop Ethereum (ETH) especially. Applications can consist of decentralized exchanges or DEXs, such as Uniswap or PancakeSwap, or crypto protocols regarding lending and borrowing, such as Aave. These applications, on their turn, are powered by their own cryptocurrencies: The Uniswap DEX uses the Uniswap token (UNI) for governance. Nevertheless, the price development of ETH was heavily influenced by the growing popularity of DeFi.

The bitcoin segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period.

Bitcoin, the world's largest cryptocurrency with a market capitalization of over USD470 billion, is a decentralized digital currency that operates on a peer-to-peer (P2P) network, bypassing the need for central authorities. Bitcoin's popularity is driven by its use of blockchain technology, which ensures secure, transparent, and immutable transactions through digital signatures and cryptographic hashing. The Bitcoin network faces scalability challenges, requiring ongoing improvements to transaction throughput and mining difficulty to maintain network security. KYC procedures and AML regulations are crucial for regulatory compliance, with exchange protocols implementing strict identity verification processes. Bitcoin's value is influenced by cryptocurrency volatility, with mining pools and consensus mechanisms like Proof of Work and Proof of Stake contributing to the creation and distribution of new coins.

Wallet security is paramount, with hardware wallets and cold storage providing enhanced security compared to software wallets. Decentralized exchanges and smart contracts, enabled by the Ethereum blockchain and public key cryptography, offer privacy protocols and zero-knowledge proofs to ensure secure transactions. The market is continually evolving, with ongoing activities and patterns shaping the landscape. Approximately 8% of Americans engage in cryptocurrency trading, with stablecoins like Tether, USD Coin, Binance USD, and DAI playing a significant role in the market. Despite its volatility, Bitcoin's impact on finance and technology is undeniable.

The cryptocurrency market size is predicted to reach $3.33 billion in 2024 to $11.07 billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 11.54% from 2024 to 2035

In March 2024 Bitcoin BTC reached a new all-time high with prices exceeding 73000 USD marking a milestone for the cryptocurrency market This surge was due to the approval of Bitcoin exchange-traded funds ETFs in the United States allowing investors to access Bitcoin without directly holding it This development increased Bitcoin’s credibility and brought fresh demand from institutional investors echoing previous price surges in 2021 when Tesla announced its 15 billion investment in Bitcoin and Coinbase was listed on the Nasdaq By the end of 2022 Bitcoin prices dropped sharply to 15000 USD following the collapse of cryptocurrency exchange FTX and its bankruptcy which caused a loss of confidence in the market By August 2024 Bitcoin rebounded to approximately 64178 USD but remained volatile due to inflation and interest rate hikes Unlike fiat currency like the US dollar Bitcoin’s supply is finite with 21 million coins as its maximum supply By September 2024 over 92 percent of Bitcoin had been mined Bitcoin’s value is tied to its scarcity and its mining process is regulated through halving events which cut the reward for mining every four years making it harder and more energy-intensive to mine The next halving event in 2024 will reduce the reward to 3125 BTC from its current 625 BTC The final Bitcoin is expected to be mined around 2140 The energy required to mine Bitcoin has led to criticisms about its environmental impact with estimates in 2021 suggesting that one Bitcoin transaction used as much energy as Argentina Bitcoin’s future price is difficult to predict due to the influence of large holders known as whales who own about 92 percent of all Bitcoin These whales can cause dramatic market swings by making large trades and many retail investors still dominate the market While institutional interest has grown it remains a small fraction compared to retail Bitcoin is vulnerable to external factors like regulatory changes and economic crises leading some to believe it is in a speculative bubble However others argue that Bitcoin is still in its early stages of adoption and will grow further as more institutions and governments recognize its potential as a hedge against inflation and a store of value 2024 has also seen the rise of Bitcoin Layer 2 technologies like the Lightning Network which improve scalability by enabling faster and cheaper transactions These innovations are crucial for Bitcoin’s wider adoption especially for day-to-day use and cross-border remittances At the same time central bank digital currencies CBDCs are gaining traction as several governments including China and the European Union have accelerated the development of their own state-controlled digital currencies while Bitcoin remains decentralized offering financial sovereignty for those who prefer independence from government control The rise of CBDCs is expected to increase interest in Bitcoin as a hedge against these centralized currencies Bitcoin’s journey in 2024 highlights its growing institutional acceptance alongside its inherent market volatility While the approval of Bitcoin ETFs has significantly boosted interest the market remains sensitive to events like exchange collapses and regulatory decisions With the limited supply of Bitcoin and improvements in its transaction efficiency it is expected to remain a key player in the financial world for years to come Whether Bitcoin is currently in a speculative bubble or on a sustainable path to greater adoption will ultimately be revealed over time.

Bitcoin and Ethereum together made up more than ** percent of the crypto market in November 2025, with newer coins losing out. Major altcoins had noticeably smaller individual shares. For instance, Ripple sits near **** percent, while Solana was at 2*** percent, with coins like Tron, Dogecoin, and Cardano all below *** percent each.

The Crypto Market Forecasts are Provided in Terms of Value (USD).

Cryptocurrency enjoyed a prosperous year in 2021 as the asset class enjoyed record returns. In 2021, the crypto industry's total market capitalization grew by 187.5%, peaking at around US$3 trillion, with many of the top coins offering four-digit and even five-digit percentage returns. The value of Bitcoin peaked at almost US$65,000 in mid-April 2021 before falling to US$30,000 by June 2021. Today, over 20,000 different cryptocurrencies exist, with some having little to no following while others enjoy immense popularity, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The tide turned however as the year came to an end as many economies grappled with numerous macroeconomic headwinds. Financial markets were negatively impacted by these headwinds with both stocks and fixed-income assets struggling. Cryptocurrency would not be spared, leading crypto assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum down as much as 50% in the first half of 2022. Market experts speculate that cryptocurrency may fall even lower by year-end 2022 given the uncertainty that has recently plagued the industry following the collapse of one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges.

The Fall of FTX Prior to November 2022, FTX was recognized as one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world, gaining immense popularity during its short existence. The exchange was founded in 2019 with Sam Bankman-Fried co-founding and being the largest stakeholder in the company from inception. Mr Bankman-Fried also co-founded Alameda Research 2017, a quantitative cryptocurrency trading firm.
FTX enjoyed a meteoric rise, peaking in 2021 as the company’s valuation reached US$32 billion. The exchange also issued its own cryptocurrency token called FTT. At its peak in 2021, the exchange had over 1 million users and was the third largest crypto exchange by volume with its token FTT reaching a market cap of $9.39 billion. In 2022, as crypto assets struggled, the FTX exchange stood as one of the brighter lights in the sector. As other cryptocurrency exchanges were challenged on many fronts including bankruptcy earlier in the year, the majority owner of FTX came to the rescue offering financial support to several companies including Robinhood and Voyager. Sam Bankman-Fried would soon gain the nickname “Crypto’s White Knight”. FTX's downfall began when CoinDesk, a news site specializing in bitcoin and digital currencies, released a statement on November 2 2022 revealing that Alameda Research Trading firm was heavily invested in FTT, FTX’s own cryptocurrency, which represented around 40% of the trading firm’s asset holdings. This news put Sam in the spotlight and sparked widespread selloffs in digital assets. The story exposed the depth and complexity of the relationship between FTX and Alameda Research, including that FTX was lending significant quantities of its own token FTT to the trading firm to build up the cash levels. Although the company attempted damage control through public reassurances to its customers, it failed to prevent customers from withdrawing their funds. Four days later on November 6 2022, Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange announced their decision to sell their entire holdings of the FTT tokens worth approximately US$529 million. Binance’s decision to liquidate its position in FTT was based on a risk management strategy following the collapse of the Terra (LUNA) crypto token earlier in 2022. Subsequent to this announcement, withdrawal requests began to rise rapidly and two days later, FTX was faced with a liquidity crisis and stopped paying back customers. While a bail-out was initially offered by Binance, it was rescinded after the necessary due diligence. As a result, eight days after the story broke, on November 11 2022 the company, FTX filed for bankruptcy.
