Moves are measured over the 17 hours to 22:10 UTC on 21 September 2026, against the price this desk recorded at the previous reading. Crypto trades continuously, so there is no closing price: these are point-in-time readings, and market capitalisation is the price above multiplied by circulating supply. This report says what moved, not why. How we cover markets.
