Crypto markets today, in one place: Be1Crypto.com shows reference prices for the largest cryptocurrencies, then explains the forces that usually move them. Prices come from a third-party data provider and update when the page loads. They are for information only. We do not sell, quote or trade any asset, and nothing here is a trading signal.

Live crypto prices

The table below lists each coin’s latest reference price and its change over the past 24 hours. Coin names link to our explainers where one exists. Prices can be delayed and will differ slightly from the price on any exchange; read our disclaimer for why.

What moves crypto prices

A single day’s move rarely has one cause. These four drivers explain most of the large swings you will see, and knowing them makes headlines easier to judge.

Liquidity and macro

Interest-rate expectations, the strength of the US dollar and risk appetite in equities move crypto as much as any coin-specific news. When money is cheap, speculative assets tend to rally together; when central banks tighten, they often fall together.

Supply schedules

Bitcoin’s new issuance halves roughly every four years. Token unlocks, staking rewards and burns change the supply of other assets on a known calendar, which markets try to price in early. Our guide to what Bitcoin is works through the halving step by step.

Regulation and enforcement

Approvals, lawsuits and new rules change who can buy an asset and through which venues. Headlines from regulators often cause the sharpest single-day moves, and the first report is not always the full story, so check the primary source before reacting.

Platform and protocol events

Exchange failures, hacks, upgrades and outages hit prices directly. Our guide to verifying a crypto platform explains how to limit your exposure to venue risk before you deposit.

How to read this page

  • A price is the last reference value, not an offer to buy or sell. The price you get on an exchange also depends on fees, spread and order-book depth.
  • A 24-hour change is a snapshot. Large percentage moves are common in crypto and say little on their own about what happens next.
  • Market cap is price multiplied by circulating supply. It is a size measure, not the amount of money invested; see the glossary for more terms.

Why prices differ between sites

There is no single official price for a cryptocurrency. Each exchange runs its own order book, so the last trade on one venue can differ from another, especially for smaller coins or during fast moves. Data providers combine prices from many venues into one reference figure, which is what you see above. That figure is useful for understanding where the market is, but the price you would actually pay depends on the venue, its fees and how much you buy.

Our guide to how a trade platform for cryptocurrency works explains spreads and order-book depth, and why two platforms quoting the same coin can leave you with different amounts.

Using market data responsibly

  • Do not treat a short-term price move as a reason to act. Decide on your plan first, then check the price.
  • Only use money you can afford to lose. Crypto prices have fallen sharply many times and individual tokens can go to zero.
  • Be wary of anyone who contacts you about a price move with a “guaranteed” opportunity. Read how to spot crypto scams first.
