Bitcoin and Ethereum are such major players and so popular among investors that when you enter the market, they draw all the attention to themselves leaving other coins in their shade.

Total crypto market cap − BTC market cap − ETH market cap.
On TradingView, we calculate total market cap using the top 125 coins. This helps us reduce noise created by tokens with potentially shorter lifespans. As a result, we have more stable data, which can help you better understand real market trends.

Any metric is important when it helps you achieve your trading and investment goals. This particular one can help you understand how well the crypto market performs without its major movers. Since BTC and ETH often drive overall market direction, excluding them provides a clearer view of capital flows, growth, and sentiment across altcoins and decentralized finance assets.
This metric is particularly useful for traders who focus on altcoins, DeFi, and higher risk–reward opportunities. Changes in the market cap excluding Bitcoin and Ether can signal shifts in market sentiment, emerging trends, or periods of increased activity outside the largest coins.

As a broad market metric, it can serve as a trend indicator. A growing crypto market cap excluding Bitcoin and Ether may signal several things:
- Bullish cycle: Usually, Bitcoin and Ethereum start to grow first, but other cryptocurrencies follow shortly after.
- Market correction during a bearish trend: Small capital inflows into altcoins can trigger a short-term uptrend, but watch out for a dead-cat bounce.
- Altcoin season: As a bullish cycle starts to slow, funds often shift from Bitcoin to smaller cryptocurrencies.
To apply this in practice, compare various coins’ dynamics on our crypto market cap charts. For more detailed analysis and trading insights, explore the Crypto Coins Screener.
