Altcoin Market Cap: After the FTX meltdown, the price of most of the cryptocurrencies plummeted, as did their market capitalization. Since then, the market has been trying to recover.

Currently, the market capitalization of altcoins (all the altcoins combined) is resting at its 2018 all-time-high. It’s also on support.
