One “market cap” number can tell two different stories.
At 18:56 ICT, CoinMarketCap showed total crypto capitalization near $2.16T and slightly lower over 24 hours, while CoinGecko showed about $2.22T and a 1.1% increase. That gap does not automatically mean one feed is wrong: providers may track different asset universes, circulating-supply estimates, venue inputs, and update times.
Practical takeaway: never treat an aggregator’s headline as ground truth in isolation. Use the same provider consistently for comparisons, timestamp every snapshot, and cross-check large discrepancies before building a market narrative.
