Understanding the Crypto Market

The total cryptocurrency market is worth $2.78T across thousands of coins, led by Bitcoin (59.1% of the market) and Ethereum. TLT tracks live prices, market capitalisation and 24-hour movement for the top assets, and explains what is moving them — all sourced from public market data and stamped with the time it was captured.

Market capitalisation (price × circulating supply) is the standard way to rank coins by size, while 24-hour volume shows how actively an asset is trading. The Fear & Greed Index currently reads 64 ("Greed") — a gauge of overall market sentiment. For readers in Nigeria, our naira section tracks the real USDT/NGN P2P rate and its premium over the official dollar rate.

About TLT's Data

TLT aggregates live cryptocurrency market data from CoinGecko, Binance, DefiLlama and mempool.space, African parallel exchange rates from peer-to-peer markets, and crypto-news headlines from leading publishers. Every figure is stamped with the time it was captured and refreshes continuously throughout the day.

TLT is an independent market-data and information service — not an exchange, broker or financial adviser. Nothing here is financial, investment or trading advice, and we never fabricate a figure: when a feed is unavailable we label the number with its source time rather than guessing. Cryptocurrency is volatile and high-risk. Read our methodology and editorial standards.
