Every crypto market cap site on the internet prices the world in US dollars. Bitcoin in dollars. Ethereum in dollars. Your portfolio in dollars. That's fine if the dollar is the thing you actually care about — but if you're reading a blog like this one, there's a decent chance it isn't. There's a decent chance you think the dollar is the problem, not the measuring stick.
MoneroMarketCap is a live crypto market data site that prices every asset in Monero alongside 16 fiat currencies. It's built for people whose mental unit of account is XMR, not USD. It's open source, it has an .onion mirror for Tor users, and it's part of the broader Monerica ecosystem.

Why a Monero-First Market Cap Site Needs to Exist
The two dominant market cap aggregators are CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko. They're fine at what they do. CoinGecko in particular is the better of the two — it's independent, the data is broad, and the API is solid. But neither was built for someone whose base currency is Monero.
- They're dollar-first, Bitcoin-second. Every view, every default, every comparison is anchored to USD and BTC.
- They're loaded with ads, trackers, and affiliate links. CoinMarketCap is owned by Binance and the referral fingerprinting on outbound exchange links shows.
- The useful features sit behind login walls.
- They get Monero's market cap wrong — which is the part worth dwelling on.
The Monero Supply Problem
Monero has tail emission. The supply is not fixed the way Bitcoin's is. Every two minutes a new block is mined and a small amount of new XMR enters circulation. The circulating supply of Monero is a moving target — it grows slightly with every block, forever.
CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko handle that by basically not handling it. They pull a stale supply number, or they update it manually on a delay. The result is that the Monero market cap they show you is off — sometimes by a meaningful amount.
MoneroMarketCap reads the current blockchain height directly and calculates live circulating supply from it. When you load the homepage and see the Monero market cap, that number is correct as of the current block. Not yesterday. Not last week. The actual current number. As far as I know, no other public market cap site does this for Monero. That alone is reason to bookmark it.
What's on the Homepage
Live Header Strip
At the top you've got the live Monero price, the live market cap, Monero's rank against every other asset, and a row of price-change percentages — 1 hour, 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, 1 year. The data refreshes automatically and there's a countdown timer that tells you exactly how many seconds until the next update.
The "vs XMR" Widget
Right next to the header is a widget that shows, over the last seven days, which coin gained the most against Monero and which coin lost the most. At a glance you can see what's actually outperforming sound money this week and what's bleeding against it. This view does not exist on any dollar-denominated site. It's the whole point.
The Sortable Top 100 Table
Below that, the main market cap table. It currently shows the top 100 coins. Every coin is listed with its price in your selected fiat and its price in XMR, side by side — no math required. Every column is sortable:
- Market cap
- Price (fiat)
- Price (XMR)
- 1h, 24h, and 7d percent change
- 24h volume
- Circulating supply
Coin Detail Pages: The Monero Performance Lens
Click any coin and you land on a detail page that's actually built for the Monero use case. Take the Bitcoin page as an example. You get all the standard data — chart, market cap, circulating supply, all-time high, 24-hour high and low.
But the section worth paying attention to is the vs Monero block. That table tells you whether holding the coin has beaten holding Monero, or fallen behind it, across four time windows:
- 24 hours
- 7 days
- 30 days
- 1 year
So instead of just seeing "Bitcoin is up 2% today in dollars," you see whether that 2% beat Monero's move or trailed it. Every one of the top 100 coins has this view. Ethereum, Solana, Zcash — they all tell you on-page how they've performed against XMR. If you've ever wondered "would I have been better off just holding Monero," this site gives you the answer in a single glance.
Display Currency: 16 Fiat Options
The US dollar is not the only fiat currency in the world, and people who care about Monero usually care about that fact. On every coin page there's a Display currency dropdown that lets you switch your fiat reference to any of these:
- USD — US dollar
- EUR — euro
- GBP — British pound
- JPY — Japanese yen
- CNY — Chinese yuan
- RUB — Russian ruble
- ARS — Argentine peso
- BRL — Brazilian real
- INR — Indian rupee
- CAD — Canadian dollar
- AUD — Australian dollar
- CHF — Swiss franc
- KRW — Korean won
- MXN — Mexican peso
- TRY — Turkish lira
- ZAR — South African rand
Pick one, hit Set, and the entire site reprices around it. If you live somewhere with a currency that's losing value fast, this matters. Watching Bitcoin priced in dollars doesn't tell you what's happening to your purchasing power at home. Watching it priced in your own fiat — alongside Monero — does.
Portfolios: Anonymous by Construction
The sign-up flow is unusual and the design choices matter. You click Register. The site does not ask for:
- An email address
- A phone number
- A name
- A date of birth
- A country
- Anything else
What it does instead is generate a random username and a random password and show them on screen. That's your account. Save those credentials somewhere safe — a password manager is the right answer — and you're logged in.
The reason it works this way is simple: an account with no identifying information attached cannot be tied back to you. There's nothing to leak. Nothing to subpoena. Nothing to sell. If you'd rather have a password you can remember, you can change it in your account settings after the fact. But the default is anonymous-by-construction, and that's the right default for a Monero-focused site.
What You Can Do Once You're In
- Create one or more portfolios and track holdings denominated in XMR rather than fiat.
- Upload your transaction history via CSV — buys, sells, and transfers — instead of entering each trade by hand.
- Export your transactions back out whenever you want. Your data stays yours.
- One-click account deletion. Wipes the portfolios, wipes the transactions, wipes the random credential. No "we'll keep your data for 30 days." Gone.
How the Project Funds Itself
You should always know how the things you use stay alive. MoneroMarketCap has:
- No ads
- No analytics
- No affiliate links on outbound exchange buttons
What it does have is a small sponsor strip that rotates through Monerica's sponsors — businesses that pay in Monero for placement across the Monerica network. Same model as Monerica itself. If you want to support the project that way, the sponsorship page explains how.
The Monerica Ecosystem
MoneroMarketCap doesn't stand alone. It's part of a broader set of projects built around the Monero circular economy:
- Monerica — a curated directory of businesses, services, and merchants that accept Monero.
- Monero Price Now — a live XMR price aggregator across no-KYC exchanges.
- Monero Shame List — a list of companies that quietly dropped Monero support, along with the alternatives that still treat it right.
