FAQ
When does this page update?
Once a day, automatically, when the site rebuilds from our market database — the date at the top tells you which day you're looking at. Live prices elsewhere on the site refresh every 10 minutes; this page is the daily summary, not the tick-by-tick feed.
Why do you exclude stablecoins from the movers?
A stablecoin doing its job moves 0.0% — including USDT and USDC in "top movers" would just be noise. They appear in the market cap totals, where they belong.
Is this financial advice?
No. It's a weather report, not a forecast: what happened over the past 24 hours and where sentiment sits. What you do with that is your decision, and days like today have historically been followed by every possible kind of tomorrow.
General information only, not financial advice. Data from our market database (powered by CoinGecko) as at the most recent daily build; markets move continuously and today's numbers will differ by the time you read them.
