About Crypto Total Market Cap Excluding BTC, $


Bitcoin is quite a heavy-weight fighter which makes it difficult at times to correctly define how the crypto market is doing — it just outshines other coins, and you can't see clearly. Since Bitcoin presents such a huge piece of the crypto pie, excluding it from counting sounds reasonable and lets you see a more clear picture of where the crypto market is moving at the moment. That is what you can see on the chart we've prepared — calculated by TradingView, it displays global crypto market cap without Bitcoin's share.
