What this post is, and isn't

These figures are the site's own snapshot diff over the 20-day window. They are not opinions about which assets are worth holding or which trend is meaningful. The ranking, the counting rule and the consensus classification are the site's; the price and market-cap figures come from the sources documented on the Market data page. What each asset does with its price between snapshots is its own business.

Built from data of 12 September 2026, compared against the snapshot taken on 23 August 2026. The next movers post lands when the next snapshot is recorded — normally weekly.
