What is the CoinCharts Volatility Index?

It is the standard deviation of an asset's returns across its last seven days of price data, rescaled to a 0-100 index. Roughly, it answers: how far does this coin typically move in a day? A reading of 72 or above is flagged as High Risk.

How is the Social Buzz score calculated?

Buzz is driven by turnover - the share of an asset's market capitalisation that changed hands in the last 24 hours - weighted with recent price momentum. Unusual trading relative to size is the signal that something is being talked about.

Where does CoinCharts get its price data?

Prices, volumes, market caps, charts and exchange listings come from the public CoinGecko API. The Fear and Greed Index is the published index from alternative.me. Data is refreshed every 60 seconds on the market page and every 20 seconds on individual coin pages.

How many cryptocurrencies does CoinCharts list?

Every coin CoinGecko reports market data for - around 19,000 assets. The table loads them progressively and the search box reaches all of them, including coins not yet loaded into the table.

How the CoinCharts index works

Most trackers rank coins by market capitalisation alone. CoinCharts adds three derived measures, computed from public market data, so you can sort by behaviour rather than size.

⚡ Volatility Index (0–100): The standard deviation of returns across the last seven days of price data, rescaled to an index. It approximates how far an asset moves on an average day. Anything at 72 or above is flagged ⚠️ High Risk.
🔥 Social Buzz (0–100): Turnover - the share of market cap that traded in 24 hours - at 58%, recent momentum at 37%, and a flat 14-point lift for assets currently in CoinGecko’s most-searched list. Heavy trading relative to size is what "trending" looks like in the data; the search list is what it looks like in people. Nothing else feeds this number.
🧊 Sentiment (0–100): A composite of 24-hour and 7-day momentum and buzz, with a drag applied for volatility, so a violent pump does not read the same as steady strength.
😨 Fear & Greed: The published market-wide index from alternative.me, shown alongside the average volatility of the coins on screen.

Frequently asked

Where does the data come from?+

Prices, volumes, market caps, charts and exchange listings come from the public CoinGecko API. The Fear & Greed reading is the published index from alternative.me. The market page refreshes every 60 seconds; coin pages poll every 20 seconds.

How many coins are listed?+

Every asset CoinGecko reports market data for - roughly 19,000. All Assets pages through them 100 at a time, and the search box reaches all of them, including coins not yet loaded into the table. The Top Gainers, High Volatility, Trending Social and Micro Caps tabs work differently: they rank across the largest 2,000 assets by market cap in one go, so their top 100 is a market-wide ranking rather than the best of whichever page you were on. Anything trading under $100,000 in 24 hours is left out, because otherwise abandoned tokens up thousands of percent on a few dollars of volume would fill the list.

What makes an exchange listing "trusted"?+

Each coin page lists its markets with CoinGecko's trust score, which grades exchanges on order-book depth, spread and reported-volume plausibility. Only green-rated venues are shown by default; you can untick the filter to see everything.

Why does a coin sometimes show "Demo data"?+

The free price API is rate-limited. If a request is refused, CoinCharts keeps showing the last good data and retries in the background - the pill in the header always tells you which source you are looking at.

Is any of this financial advice?+

No. Every score describes what price and volume have already done. They are descriptive statistics, not forecasts. Do your own research.
