Crypto Market Cap Falls as Bitcoin and Ethereum Rise

Total crypto capitalization fell 0.80% over 24 hours even as Bitcoin and Ethereum posted gains, while sentiment remained in fear territory.

Key takeaways
  • The total crypto market is worth ₹249.20T, down 0.80% in 24 hours.
  • Bitcoin is up 1.86%, holding 59.9% of the market.
  • Top gainer: Bitway (BTW) +21.5%.
  • Sentiment: Fear & Greed at 34 (Fear).

The total crypto market cap stood at $2.63 trillion, down 0.80% over 24 hours as of November 4, 2026. The snapshot described the broader market as broadly up despite the decline in aggregate capitalization.

Bitcoin traded at $78,493 after gaining 1.86% over 24 hours, while Ethereum rose 2.43% to $2,325.58. Bitcoin dominance was approximately 59.9%.

Bitway led the reported gainers, rising 21.52% over 24 hours, although it remained down 36.20% over seven days and had no recent coin-specific headline identifying a clear catalyst. Venice Token gained 14.97% with a nearly flat seven-day change of negative 0.46%, while Zcash advanced 11.69% amid activity around the upcoming NU7 upgrade. Derive rose 10.23% despite a 13.93% weekly decline, with market-wide buying and short-term sentiment cited as the likely explanation where no project-specific catalyst was identified.

No assets were listed above the snapshot's threshold for the biggest losers. The broader market-cap decline therefore did not produce a reported group of threshold-level underperformers in the provided data.

The Fear and Greed Index stood at 34, placing sentiment in the Fear category. Recent headlines included a report of $143 million in USDG lending on Morpho by Arbitrum and Hong Kong's passage of crypto tax-reporting rules starting in 2027. Crypto.news also reported that Bitcoin reclaimed $78,000 following a U.S. midterm selloff, while AMBCrypto reported Solana falling below $100 for four consecutive days.
