Crypto sector tracker — 93 sectors, rotation signals & relative strength.

The Sector Tracker covers 93 sectors including DeFi, Layer 1, Layer 2, AI, Gaming, Memes, RWA (Real World Assets), DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure), DeSci, Privacy, Oracles, Stablecoins, NFTs, DEX tokens, CEX tokens, Lending, Restaking, Liquid Staking, Modular blockchains, SocialFi, and Intent-based protocols. New sectors are added as meaningful categories emerge in the market.

Sector performance is calculated using market-cap-weighted returns of constituent tokens. Each token's price change is weighted by its share of the sector's total market capitalization, so larger tokens have more influence on the sector index. This methodology mirrors how traditional equity sector indexes are constructed and provides a more accurate representation of where capital is actually flowing compared to equal-weighted approaches.

Sector rotation is the pattern of capital flowing from one market sector to another, typically driven by shifts in risk appetite, narrative momentum, or macroeconomic conditions. In crypto, rotation often moves from high-beta sectors (memes, gaming) into defensive sectors (stablecoins, L1s) during risk-off periods, and reverses during risk-on periods. The Sector Tracker reveals rotation by showing relative performance divergences across timeframes.

Sector Tracker aggregate market cap, volume, and rotation metrics update every 30 minutes from category and market data feeds. Token drill-down caches are prewarmed on a recurring schedule and fall back to the latest successful Supabase snapshot if an upstream request is delayed.

Yes, clicking on any sector opens a drill-down view showing all constituent tokens ranked by market capitalization. Each token displays its current price, 24h change, 7d change, trading volume, and market cap. This drill-down is essential for understanding whether sector performance is driven by broad-based participation or concentrated in a few large-cap tokens, which has significant implications for trade selection.

Sector Tracker provides a table-based overview of 93 sectors focused on performance metrics and token rankings. Narratives goes deeper with 49 analytics views across 6 categories (Overview, Time-Series, Social, Derivatives, Token Analysis, Correlations) for 30 curated narratives. Use Sector Tracker for a quick market-wide sector scan, and Narratives for deep analytical dives into specific themes.

Yes. The Sector Tracker is available free on Sharpe Terminal with no account required. All 93 sectors, performance timeframes, token drill-downs, and comparison features are accessible immediately. The same data is available through Sharpe's REST API, MCP server, and CLI tool for programmatic access.

Crypto's sector taxonomy has exploded — broad market directories list 200+ categories, but most are thinly populated or overlapping duplicates. Sharpe curates 93 actionable sectors that represent real capital-flow units: established categories (DeFi, L1, L2, Memes) plus fast-moving subcategories (AI Agents, DeFAI, Restaking, Modular, Intent, RWA, DePIN sub-verticals). 93 is the point of diminishing returns — fewer misses rotations in niche themes; more adds duplicate sectors with overlapping constituents that dilute the signal.

Basic category pages are browse trees with thin per-category rankings. Sharpe's Sector Tracker is a quantitative tool: 93 market-cap-weighted sector indexes computed on a 30-minute cadence, with multi-timeframe performance, relative strength vs BTC/ETH, token-level drill-down, and sector comparison. Use Sharpe to track which sectors are attracting capital and which are losing it, with rotation signals surfaced explicitly. Sharpe's sector data is also free via REST API, MCP server, and CLI.

DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks) is a crypto sector where token incentives coordinate real-world physical infrastructure — wireless networks (Helium), storage (Filecoin, Arweave), compute (Render, io.net), mapping (Hivemapper), and energy. Contributors earn tokens for providing hardware resources that serve end users, replacing traditional centralized providers with a token-coordinated network. DePIN's investment thesis is that decentralized networks can bootstrap infrastructure more cheaply than incumbents because token emissions effectively subsidize the supply side.

RWA refers to tokenized real-world assets — U.S. Treasuries, private credit, real estate, commodities, and equities represented as blockchain tokens. Leading RWA projects include Ondo Finance, Maple, Centrifuge, and BlackRock's BUIDL fund. The sector gained institutional traction in 2024-2025 as tokenized Treasuries crossed $10B+ in TVL. RWAs bring off-chain yield on-chain, enabling stablecoin holders to earn traditional fixed-income returns while keeping assets composable in DeFi.
