Crypto Market Cap Falls 2.15% as Bitcoin and Five Major Tokens Gain

At 9:08 a.m. ET Oct. 28, crypto assets were worth a combined $2.72 trillion, down 2.15% over 24 hours even as Bitcoin (BTC) and five other large tokens gained.

Bitcoin was priced at $80,738, up 0.68%. Ether (ETH) climbed 0.48% to $2,340, while XRP (XRP) reached $1.32 after adding 0.39%. BNB (BNB) advanced 1.81% to $754.71. Solana (SOL) was up 0.81% at $101.51, and Dogecoin (DOGE) added 2.15% to $0.0793.

Trading volume over the 24-hour window reached $63.54 billion. Bitcoin made up 59.4% of total market capitalization, while Ether accounted for 10.5%. These dominance figures show each asset’s share of the aggregate value; the price changes track individual tokens. The combined market measure can therefore fall even when the six listed assets rise.

Among the top 39 cryptocurrencies, Pepe (PEPE) had the largest gain, rising 12.67%. Ethena (ENA) was the weakest performer in the ranking, falling 2.87%.

Liquidations across Binance, Bybit and OKX totaled $107.9 million over the same 24 hours. Short positions accounted for $81.8 million of forced closures, compared with $26.1 million for long positions.

A market snapshot on Oct. 24 showed the same $2.72 trillion total while all six major assets declined. The Oct. 28 figures paired that market value with gains across all six.
