Daily Market Movers — Friday, August 14, 2026

BTC trades at $62,898, down 1.3%, and ETH at $1,877, down 0.6%, per CoinGecko data as of Friday, August 14, 2026. The sharpest move among listed tokens was -13.6%. Total market capitalization fell 1.0% to $2.25 trillion while BTC dominance held at 56.1%, and DefiLlama puts DeFi TVL at $74.9 billion — liquidity stayed above $74 billion even as the broader market weakened. Alternative.me's Fear & Greed Index reads 29 (Fear) on August 14, 2026; CoinGecko puts BTC dominance at 56.1%. Ether.fi gained 13.6% while Loopring fell 6.2% — no catalyst is specified in the data, so tying either move to a specific event isn't supported. BTC staying below $63,000 alongside 56.1% dominance would keep the defensive read intact unless total market capitalization climbs back above $2.25 trillion.
