Bitcoin was quoted at $75,673.65, down 1.59% over 24 hours, in CoinGecko’s USD aggregate timestamped 09:00:40 UTC (14:30:40 IST) on September 16, 2026. This is a rolling market observation, not a daily closing price.
Bitcoin’s decline was smaller than its peers’
The same snapshot showed Ether down 2.96%, Solana down 3.58% and XRP down 8.01%. Bitcoin’s decline was therefore 1.37 percentage points smaller than Ether’s and 6.42 points smaller than XRP’s. That establishes relative resilience within this four-asset comparison, not a gain or proof that money rotated into Bitcoin.
CoinGecko reported roughly $38.93 billion in 24-hour trading volume and a market capitalization of $1.52 trillion. Dividing those figures gives about 2.56%. This scale comparison is not a measure of net buying: trading volume records turnover, while market capitalization estimates the value of circulating supply.
A separate USD trade check
Coinbase’s BTC-USD ticker recorded a $75,705.82 last trade at 09:01:53 UTC. That was $32.17, or approximately 0.04%, above the earlier aggregate. Because the observations differ in time and market coverage, this is not a simultaneous arbitrage spread. Fees and order size would also affect any actual execution.
The Bitcoin protocol overview describes a 21-million-coin issuance limit and divisibility into 100 million satoshis per coin. A high whole-coin price therefore does not require buying a whole Bitcoin; those design features also do not guarantee price stability.
The next useful comparison is whether Bitcoin’s smaller rolling decline persists alongside changes in volume and venue quotes. This report assigns no unverified catalyst and makes no price forecast. AI assistance supported the source checks and calculations; prices can change immediately, and the figures are not investment advice.
