Crypto trading volume: top 25 ranked without liquidity

A cryptocurrency can sit ninth among the largest coins and still have almost no trading. Figure Heloc carries a market capitalisation of $25.09 billion, and over 24 hours holdings worth $106,017 changed hands. That is 0.0004 percent. Bitcoin managed 0.89 percent over the same period, Ethereum 2.79 percent.

We therefore ran the numbers on all 25 largest cryptocurrencies, setting daily turnover against market capitalisation in each case. Four of them stay below 0.32 percent. Buy one of these assets and you own something that sits beside Bitcoin in the ranking and behaves entirely differently on the way out. cryptoticker.io collected this data itself on October 11, 2026.

Market capitalisation and trading volume measure two different things

Market capitalisation is the last traded price multiplied by the number of units in circulation. The figure states what a holding would be worth if valued at the current price. On whether that price holds for anything larger than a small order, it says nothing.

Trading volume is the cross-check. It names the sum actually traded over 24 hours. Put the two figures into a ratio and a metric appears that is shown nowhere in the ranking: the share of market capitalisation that changes hands in a day. For the large assets it runs in the low single-digit percentages, for four of the top 25 in the per-mille range.
