Bitcoin hovers near $71,000, but most major altcoins are bleeding red on April 9, 2026 — a clear signal that risk appetite is draining from crypto markets. This list ranks cryptocurrencies by their total market capitalization, the standard measure of an asset's total dollar value in circulation. Market cap matters because it cuts through hype to show which projects actually hold investor capital. Ethereum clings to second place at $2,190 despite a 2.3% daily drop, while Tether and USDC sit rock-steady at $1 each, proving stablecoins remain the safe harbor. The real surprise: Figure Heloc (FIGR_HELOC), a tokenized home equity loan product, snuck into the top ten — a weird artifact of CoinGecko's data pipeline, not a sudden DeFi renaissance. Dogecoin limps in at tenth with a price of $0.092, down nearly 3% in 24 hours. CoinGecker sources price and market cap from over 600 exchanges, aggregating volume-weighted averages each day.

Bitcoin holds at $71,117, down 1.2% in the last day but up 4.4% over the week — still the king of crypto by a mile.
Ethereum trades at $2,190, a 2.3% daily drop that underscores its struggle to reclaim momentum against Bitcoin.
Tether remains pegged at $1.00 with near-zero volatility, the dominant stablecoin for traders fleeing altcoin losses.
XRP falls to $1.34, down 2.7% today and 0.8% for the week — legal clarity hasn't translated into price strength.
BNB sits at $601, declining 3.1% today and 1.6% over seven days, as exchange token enthusiasm fades.
USDC holds steady at $1.00 with a fractional daily gain, reinforcing its role as the second-largest stablecoin.
Solana drops 3.6% to $82.60 despite a weekly gain of 1.9% — today's selloff erases recent optimism.
TRON defies the downtrend, rising 0.8% to $0.3179 with a stable weekly performance.
Figure Heloc appears at $1.032 — a tokenized home equity product that likely entered the top ten due to a data anomaly, not genuine demand.
Dogecoin falls 2.8% to $0.0924, with a flat weekly change — meme coin momentum has stalled.
Stablecoins dominate the top ten with three entries — Tether, USDC, and the ghostly Figure Heloc — indicating April 9 is a risk-off day. The majour non-stablecoins show a clear split: Bitcoin and Ethereum have modest weekly gains, while XRP, BNB, and Dogecoin all fell over the past week. Solana, despite a 1.9% weekly uptick, dropped 3.6% today — momentum is failing. The most surprising entry is Figure Heloc at rank nine, a token with almost no exchange liquidity or trading volume. It highlights a flaw in market-cap-only rankings: a low-float asset with an inflated price can climb artificially. TRON's steady 0.78% daily gain stands apart as the only altcoin in the green today. Expect stablecoin dominance to increase further if Bitcoin fails to hold $70,000.
