Market Snapshot

As of April 14, 2026, the global crypto market cap sits near $2.59T, up about 1.05% in the last 24 hours. Bitcoin dominance is holding around 57.41%, while stablecoins make up roughly 12.1% of total market cap. That matters because it shows the market is still being led by large caps, with a meaningful amount of capital still parked on the sidelines instead of fully rotating into higher risk assets.

Bitcoin is trading near $74,208, with $64.73B in 24 hour volume. It is up 1.6% on the day and 8.0% over the last 7 days. Market cap is sitting around $1.48T. That is the kind of structure that keeps the entire market stable even when smaller assets remain uneven. Capital is not hiding from crypto right now. It is just being selective.

Ethereum is trading near $2,312.68, with $30.28B in 24 hour volume. ETH is up 2.1% in the last 24 hours and 10.1% over the past 7 days, giving it a market cap around $279.02B. Relative to Bitcoin, Ethereum has also shown signs of strength, with the ETH to BTC ratio around 0.03115 BTC today. That suggests some capital is starting to broaden out beyond Bitcoin, even if the overall market is still far from full risk on behavior. (https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/ethereum)

From a broader positioning standpoint, this is not a market that looks dead. It looks like a market that is still being filtered through quality and liquidity. Bitcoin is doing what large cap leadership usually does in uncertain environments. Ethereum is trying to reassert itself. The bigger question is whether that strength can eventually reach lower cap ecosystems in a sustained way.

That brings the lens back to Hive.

Hive is trading near $0.05843 with about $1.68M in 24 hour volume. It is up 2.2% over the last 7 days, but its market cap remains modest at about $31.35M. Circulating supply is around 540M HIVE. In simple terms, Hive is still alive, still liquid enough to function, and still building, but it is clearly not where broader speculative attention is concentrated right now.

On the stable side of the Hive ecosystem, HBD is trading around $0.9871 with a market cap near $32.85M. That peg behavior matters because it shows relative stability inside an ecosystem where the base asset remains small and sensitive to shifts in sentiment.

The clean read today is this:

Crypto is active.
Bitcoin is still the center of gravity.
Ethereum is gaining some momentum.
Hive is holding ground, not leading.

That is not a bearish conclusion. It is a positioning conclusion.

In markets like this, attention follows strength, but long term opportunity often sits where attention has not fully arrived yet. The data today says leadership is narrow. It also says the board is still in play.
