What is a crypto market cap alert?

An alert that watches a coin's market capitalization (price × circulating supply) instead of its price, and notifies you when it crosses a line you set. You can trigger on a dollar value, on a top-N rank, or on a schedule that simply reports the current cap. It catches a class of events a price alert never sees: a project growing into a new size bracket, or sliding down the rankings.

How do I set an alert when a coin hits $1 billion market cap?

Create a market cap alert, pick the coin, choose Value mode, and set $1B as the target with the Above condition. The builder shows the coin's current cap and rank next to the field, so you can see how far your line sits from where it trades today. Flip the condition to Below and the same setup tells you when a cap falls back through your figure.

Can I get an alert when a coin enters the top 100?

Yes. Rank mode fires when a coin enters the top N you choose (top 10, 50, 100 or any cutoff), and you can point it at one coin or at the entire market.

Where does the market cap data come from?

Cap and rank are sourced from CoinMarketCap and refreshed on a steady cadence across 6,000+ tracked coins, so your alert evaluates against the same figures you would look up yourself. Because market cap is a global number, there is no exchange to pick when you create the alert.

What's the difference between a market cap alert and a price alert?

A price alert watches a quote on the exchange you choose; a market cap alert watches size across the whole market. Since cap is price × circulating supply, the two can move apart: a supply change shifts the cap even when price is flat. You can run both: a price alert on the level you trade and a cap alert on the milestone you care about.

Can a market cap alert watch every coin at once?

Yes. Instead of naming a single asset, point the alert at the whole market and it evaluates all 6,000+ tracked coins, firing on whichever one meets your condition. That is what turns one top-100 rank alert into a standing watch for new entrants rather than a check on one coin.

How are crypto market cap alerts delivered?

Through the same four channels as every CoinBeacon alert: email, Telegram, Discord, or a JSON webhook. A per-alert cooldown stops a cap hovering near your threshold from notifying you repeatedly (60 minutes by default), and you can also set the alert to switch itself off after the first trigger.

Are crypto market cap alerts free?

Yes. Every alert type, including market cap alerts, is on the free plan: 5 active alerts, 10 notifications a day and all four delivery channels. No credit card or exchange API keys are needed, and the alert runs on CoinBeacon's servers.

Features

Crypto market cap alerts

A coin priced at $0.002 can be a top-50 asset; one at $200 can be a microcap. Market capitalization measures size, so you can set an alert on a cap value or a top-N rank, on one coin or across all 6,000+.

By value, by rank or on a schedule

Point one alert at a single coin, or at the entire market to catch every coin that crosses your line. Cap and rank figures come from CoinMarketCap and refresh on a regular schedule, so the alert fires when the figure itself moves, not when one exchange prints an odd trade.

By value. Fires when a coin's market cap rises above or drops below the dollar figure you set, such as $100M or $1B.
By rank. Fires when a coin enters the top 10, 50, 100 or any cutoff you choose.
On a schedule. A periodic report sends a coin's current market cap at the interval you pick, with no threshold.
One coin or all 6,000+. Watch a single asset, or scan the whole market and catch every coin that meets your condition.

Market cap versus price

Market cap is price × circulating supply, which is why a $0.10 coin can outweigh a $500 one. Watching cap catches a class of events a price alert never sees: a project growing into a new size bracket, a mover forcing its way into the top 100, a slow slide down the rankings.

1 hour

Market cap is refreshed from CoinMarketCap roughly hourly, so alerts aren't instant. This is a level check, not a one-time cross: while the cap stays at or above your target, it fires again after every cooldown.

Disable after first trigger

Fires a single time, then turns itself off. Leave it off to keep it recurring.

How to set a crypto market cap alert

01Pick a coin or the whole marketSearch any of the 6,000+ tracked coins, or point the alert at every coin at once and let it fire on whichever one crosses your line. There is no exchange to choose: market cap is a global figure, so the builder asks for a data source instead (CoinMarketCap).
02Choose the modeValue watches a dollar figure. Rank watches a top-N cutoff. Schedule skips thresholds entirely and simply reports the coin's current cap at the interval you pick.
03Set the target and the directionIn value mode, type the cap you care about (such as $100M or $1B) and choose above or below; the current cap and rank sit beside the field, with a button to start from today's number. In rank mode you pick the cutoff instead: top 10, 50, 100, or your own.
04Set delivery and saveEmail, Telegram, Discord, or a JSON webhook into your own system. Leave “disable after the first trigger” unchecked and the alert keeps monitoring with a cooldown between notifications (60 minutes by default). From there it runs on CoinBeacon's servers.

Common uses

Market cap alerts for the microcap-to-midcap graduation

Set a value alert at $100M or $1B on a coin you hold, and the day it crosses from one size bracket into the next you hear about it without opening a chart. A price alert watches a quote on one venue; this watches what the market says the whole project is worth.

Top 100 rank alerts for new entrants

Point a rank alert at the entire market with a top-100 cutoff and it fires whenever any coin breaks in. The moves that push a coin up the table usually show on the market movers board first, so the two read well side by side.

Scheduled market cap reports on the coins you hold

Schedule mode needs no threshold at all: it sends a coin's current cap at the interval you choose, so the number arrives on its own instead of you going to look it up. If you want the price on the same rhythm, periodic price updates do the same job for the quote.

Catching a cap that slides back below your line

Choose the below condition and a cap alert becomes a downside watch: a coin losing its size bracket, or drifting out of the rank you bought it in. Pair it with the ATH and ATL board to see how far the same coin already sits below its all-time high before you decide the slide means anything.
