Market sectors
An instrument's sector comes from our verified description; an instrument without one is not placed in any sector. The numbers are live: how many instruments, 24h volume, median move.
Layer 1 blockchains70 instruments in the sectorIndependent blockchains with their own network of validators or miners: they process and confirm transactions themselves, and their coin pays the network's fees.24h volume: $76.1Bmedian 24h move: -2.58%Stocks551 instruments in the sectorCompany shares as contracts and tokens on the share price on crypto exchanges: they trade around the clock, settle with the exchange and carry no voting rights.24h volume: $22.8Bmedian 24h move: -1.78%ETFs154 instruments in the sectorExchange-traded funds: one security holding a whole basket of stocks, bonds or commodities, including leveraged and bitcoin funds. Here — contracts on their price on crypto exchanges.24h volume: $15.3Bmedian 24h move: -1.35%Metals22 instruments in the sectorPrecious and industrial metals: gold, silver, platinum, palladium, copper, nickel, aluminium, zinc — and gold against various currencies.24h volume: $7.4Bmedian 24h move: -2.04%Privacy coins14 instruments in the sectorCoins and protocols for transfers that hide the amount, sender or recipient from outsiders, and networks with encrypted computation.24h volume: $6.7Bmedian 24h move: -4.20%Meme coins72 instruments in the sectorCoins held up by a community and a joke rather than a product. They move harder than the rest of the market: tens of percent in a day are routine.24h volume: $3.0Bmedian 24h move: -3.64%DeFi (decentralised finance)119 instruments in the sectorFinancial services on smart contracts with no intermediary: swaps, lending, staking, derivatives. Such a project's token usually gives a vote in governance or a share of fees.24h volume: $2.9Bmedian 24h move: -2.60%Payment coins20 instruments in the sectorCoins and networks for payments and transfers — fast, cheap, including across borders.24h volume: $2.5Bmedian 24h move: -2.25%AI tokens69 instruments in the sectorProjects where blockchain meets artificial intelligence: compute for models, data markets, AI agents that make transactions on their own.24h volume: $2.3Bmedian 24h move: -3.53%Exchange tokens19 instruments in the sectorTokens of crypto exchanges and their chains: fee discounts, access to listings, buybacks and burns funded by exchange revenue.24h volume: $2.2Bmedian 24h move: -2.14%Network infrastructure85 instruments in the sectorWhat everything else runs on: nodes, indexers, wallets, developer tools, identity services.24h volume: $1.1Bmedian 24h move: -2.26%Gaming and metaverse60 instruments in the sectorGames, metaverses and their platforms, where items, land and in-game currency live on the blockchain and belong to the players.24h volume: $1.0Bmedian 24h move: -2.45%Real-world assets (RWA)18 instruments in the sectorReal-world assets brought on-chain: gold in a vault, treasury bonds, stocks, real estate, loans.24h volume: $817.7Mmedian 24h move: -2.77%Layer 2 networks28 instruments in the sectorNetworks built on top of another blockchain, most often Ethereum: transactions are batched there and the result is written to the main chain — faster and cheaper, under its security.24h volume: $643.8Mmedian 24h move: -2.40%DePIN (physical infrastructure)26 instruments in the sectorPhysical infrastructure on the blockchain: wireless networks, sensors, compute, energy — participants run the hardware and earn tokens for it.24h volume: $603.2Mmedian 24h move: -3.36%Stablecoins18 instruments in the sectorTokens pegged to a currency — usually the US dollar — through issuer reserves or on-chain collateral, and the protocols that issue them. The price barely moves; volume and breaks from the peg are what matter.24h volume: $482.7Mmedian 24h move: -0.01%Oracles10 instruments in the sectorProjects that bring outside data into the blockchain — prices, rates, event outcomes — so that smart contracts can rely on it.24h volume: $411.2Mmedian 24h move: -1.91%Bridges and interoperability21 instruments in the sectorBridges and protocols that connect different blockchains and carry tokens and messages between them.24h volume: $390.9Mmedian 24h move: -3.15%Decentralised storage5 instruments in the sectorDecentralised storage networks: files are kept by many independent nodes that are paid in the network's token.24h volume: $212.5Mmedian 24h move: -4.36%Market indices25 instruments in the sectorStock indices — S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, Dow Jones, Nikkei, DAX and others — the dollar index, volatility indices and crypto market indices: bitcoin dominance, the ether-to-bitcoin ratio.24h volume: $167.3Mmedian 24h move: -0.02%Currencies42 instruments in the sectorCurrency pairs: the majors — euro, pound, yen against the dollar — crosses and emerging-market currencies. They trade on weekdays and move on central bank rates and macro data.24h volume: $30.8Mmedian 24h move: -0.19%
