Due to a CoinGecko bug, an unnamed cryptocurrency momentarily dethroned Bitcoin.

On CoinGecko, the list of top-valued currencies suddenly became relatively meaningless, with BTC slipping below the “Relevant” token.

On Friday morning, CoinGecko, one of the world’s top cryptocurrency tracking websites, had a huge malfunction, with Bitcoin (BTC) incorrectly losing its status as the largest digital currency by market capitalization to a lesser-known altcoin.

On CoinGecko, the list of top-valued cryptocurrencies quickly became relatively useless, with BTC’s market cap briefly falling below a token called as Relevant.

As of 7:20 a.m. UTC, REL was wrongly ranked first among the most valuable cryptocurrencies on CoinGecko, with a market worth of $6.5 trillion, or far more than all other assets in the world combined.

The malfunction also had an effect on the total crypto market capitalisation on CoinGecko, with the market value briefly reaching $7 septillion. The problem was promptly resolved, and as of 8:20 a.m. UTC, the website data looked to be back to normal.

According to CoinMarketCap, CoinGecko’s main competitor website, the REL 

token then rose following the malfunction, with its price climbing to $0.9, or more than 20%, during the previous 24 hours at the time of writing. According to the website, the coin’s completely diluted market cap is currently at $24.7 million, ranking it as the 5,378th token by market cap.

Some cryptocurrency aficionados laughed at CoinGecko’s newest mishap, which occurred immediately after CoinMarketCap’s owner, Binance, made a $200-million investment in Forbes on Thursday.

However, CoinGecko is not alone in experiencing issues like these. In January 2021, Wrapped Bitcoin (wBTC) unexpectedly gained quadrillions of dollars in value, momentarily and incorrectly becoming the website’s most valuable cryptocurrency.
