Market cap of 120 digital assets, such as crypto, on September 12, 2025

A league table of the 120 cryptocurrencies with the highest market cap reveals how diverse each crypto is and potentially how much risk is involved when investing in one. Bitcoin (BTC), for instance, had a so-called "high cap" - a market cap worth more than 10 billion U.S. dollars - indicating this crypto project has a certain track record or, at the very least, is considered a major player in the cryptocurrency space. This is different in Decentralize Finance (DeFi), where Bitcoin is only a relatively new player.

The number of existing cryptocurrencies is several thousands, even if most have a limited significance. Indeed, Bitcoin and Ethereum account for nearly 75 percent of the entire crypto market capitalization. As crypto is relatively easy to create, the range of projects varies significantly - from improving payments to solving real-world issues, but also meme coins and more speculative investments.

While often talked about as an investment vehicle, cryptocurrencies have not yet established a clear use case in day-to-day life. Central bankers found that usefulness of crypto in domestic payments or remittances to be negligible. A forecast for the world's main online payment methods took a similar stance: It predicts that cryptocurrency would only take up 0.2 percent of total transaction value by 2027.

G7 countries' share of world population 2000-2025, by country

The total population of the G7 countries made up less than ten percent of the world's total population as of 2025. Moreover, it has been decreasing since 2000, which is mainly because the population of other countries such as India and China has been growing during the same period. Despite this, they make up around 30 percent of the world's GDP.

Number of TV viewers of the Emmy Awards 1987-2025

In September 2025, around 7.42 million people watched the Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony in the United States. This figure marked a growth from the all-time low in viewership recorded in the delayed 2023 awards. The Emmys were at their most popular between the early 1990s and early 2000s. 

The 75th Primetime Emmy Awards drew the smallest audience in the history of the telecast. It was the first time that the viewership of television’s biggest night dropped below five million viewers - a threshold that not even the hybrid ceremony of 2020 had previously undercut. For comparison, over 21 million viewers tuned in to watch the live event in 1994 and 2000, highlighting how drastically audience interest has declined since then. Another factor contributing to the show’s poor performance in 2024 was its Monday nighttime slot, which conflicted with an NFL playoff game.

The Emmys are not the only awards ceremony to have lost viewers and relevance over the past few years. Even the Oscars, Hollywood’s most renowned celebration, have failed to draw audiences’ attention recently. In 2025, the number of Academy Awards viewers stood at 19.7 million, and even though this figure marked a visible upswing from the previous years, the audience was still only half the size it used to be back in 2014. A similar downward trend has also been unfolding at the Grammys. Around 15.4 million viewers tuned in to watch the show in 2025, whereas this number used to surpass 25 million in the early 2010s.

Leading Chinese mobile game publishers 2025, based on annual app revenue

The Chinese entertainment tycoon Tencent remains dominant in the mobile gaming arena. In August 2025, Tencent generated 570.6 million U.S. dollars of in-app purchase revenue worldwide. Its Chinese rivals NetEase and miHoYo's global publishing company Cognosphere followed with a wide margin.

Monthly inflation rate Japan 2019-2025

In August 2025, the inflation rate in Japan stood at 2.7 percent. The term inflation means the devaluation of money caused by a permanent increase of the price level for goods and services. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures the price development for private expenses and shows the current level of inflation when it increases.

Since the economic downturn in the 1990s, consumer prices in Japan have remained stagnant. Many Japanese consumers have never experienced a significant rise in cost of living, as the country had been struggling with deflationary pressures for over three decades. In the last years, this has changed drastically. Consumers have been confronted with rising prices since 2022, driven by global tensions and the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. While Japan’s CPI recorded a 2.7 percent growth in 2024, real household consumption expenditure declined. 

Annual inflation decreased from 3.2 percent in 2023, the highest level recorded since 1991. A look at the price growth of major categories in the CPI shows that prices for culture and recreation saw the largest increases in 2024, followed by food and fuel, light, and water charges. Fresh food prices, which rose by seven percent, were at the core of the food price growth. Fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, and cereals such as rice, bread, and noodles, were among the major contributors to Japan’s inflation. Rice prices jumped significantly in 2024. The staple food continued to see drastic price hikes in 2025.
