When you saw the information? I just visited the coinmarketcap. BTC: $7,508.40 and Ethereum: 0.13%. Please let us know when you saw that weirdness. I am very curious about it.

I have seen some irregularities too in bitcoin and tether, maybe its because some exchanges numbers. Now everything seemed fine to me.

there may be errors that occur in the coinmarketcap system. if this continues to occur, it can affect crypto prices on the exchange.

No, coinmarketcap was not hacked, CoinMarketCap "data issue" caused significant artificial inflation of several coins listed on the platform on Friday, with some prices inflated by nearly 1000 percent. CoinMarketCap told that the inflation was caused by a data error. https://www.coindesk.com/coinmarketcap-says-data-glitch-boosted-its-crypto-price-numbers/
