The global crypto market cap is expected to surge in 2026.

New names have come up in the list of trending cryptocurrencies; however, they have not been able to dilute the standings of BTC, SOL, and ETH. All three top tokens, in terms of market cap, continue to feature on the list despite recording fluctuations since October 2025. This has triggered anticipation that the market cap could make an upswing.

BTC, SOL, and ETH Trending

Bitcoin (BTC) is at the top of the list with the token value of $87,529.36 at the time of writing this article. The token value slipped by 0.24% over the last 24 hours, but its trading volume has surged by 171.23%. BTC price is next estimated to surpass the $100k and trade possibly around $103k. Two whale wallets recently accumulated 1,600 BTC – signaling a possible surge in 2026.

SOL, at the 9th position on the list of trending tokens, is creating sufficient buzz around it. Solana tokens are hovering around $125.02 right now, up by 0.49% over the last 24 hours, and with a massive uptick of 161.29% in their trading volume. Notably, SOL opened at around $123.07 despite making moves closer to $129.30.

Ether might have slipped below $3k, but it features at the 6th position on the table with the token value of $2,960.30. The value is up by 0.62% in the last 24 hours, and down by 2.92% in the last 7 days. The trading volume has jumped by 182.85%.

New Crypto Entrants on the List

Some of the new crypto entrants on the list of trending tokens are RTX, ESPORTS, and ZBT. RateX (RTX), for starters, is listed at $2.86, up by 0.37% in the last 24 hours, and with a market cap of $47.68 million. RTX stands at the 4th position right now.

Yooldo (ESPORTS), ranked at 8th spot, has a trading value of $0.4314, up by 3.57% in the last 24 hours. It has a market cap of 99.8 million. ZEROBASE (ZBT), has gained 69.7% in 24 hours. It is now exchanging hands at around $0.1812.

UIUI (UI) is the only trending token on the list of the top-10 to have soared by 223.9% in 24 hours. It now has a value of $0.00006342.

Global Crypto Market Cap

Amid new trends being set by cryptocurrencies, it is expected that hypes like this could contribute to the global market. It is currently $2.97 trillion, down by 0.19%, after briefly staying above the $3 trillion.

While hypes and trends do contribute, it would be important to periodically check if the Altcoin Index improves from 20 points and if the FGI advances from 30 points. Investors and market observers have so far hinted that this could be a chance to buy the dip to pocket respective ATHs later.
