• The altcoin market cap continues to go down in price.  So, data from CoinGecko shows that the amount that the altcoins lost within a period of seven days is mindblowing. Not many people understand the meaning of market capitalization, so we will discuss it briefly. Market cap in the crypto industry is the short form of market capitalization. So, you calculate the market capitalization by multiplying the current coin price of a certain crypto market by its circulating supply. In the altcoin market cap, the figures are from the multiplication of the current price with the circulating supply. Furthermore, it shows the substantiality and value of the cryptocurrency sector. 
• According to data from CoinGecko, the altcoin market cap is down. So, within a period of seven days, there were some steep decreases in the crypto market sector. Looking at the charts, the altcoin market cap was over $580 billion on the 8th of September. However, this was the last time reaching that figure within seven days, as there was a massive decline. The 12th of September was the worst day of the altcoin market cap, with a figure of around $556 billion. So, that was more than a $24 billion loss within that period. On the 4th of September, the market cap of this crypto sector was around $570 billion. Apparently, this is a $10 billion loss within a period of seven days. 

DeFi Market Cap Making Recovery After Steep Decline

• The altcoin market cap wasn’t the declining sector in the crypto industry. In fact, there were also declines in others, like the DeFi market cap. The only difference here is that the DeFi market cap is making a massive recovery over the amount lost in the market. On the 8th of September, the DeFi market cap was close to reaching $43 billion. However, a steep decline on the 12th of September saw the value drop to around $40 billion. 
• The major thing to note here is that the DeFi market cap is making some massive recovery within seven days. So, on the 14th of September, the figure of the decentralized finance market capitalization was close to reaching the $42 billion market. Many analysts expect more growth around this figure.

Conclusion 

The altcoin market cap is simply the value of the total altcoins in the crypto market. So, according to recent data, there was a decline in this metric. This means that the value of the altcoin market dropped massively. However, the altcoin sector wasn’t the only place where there was a decline. The DeFi sector also declined within a period of 7 days.
