That looks somehow broken. What device are you using?

In Firefox, if I make the window smaller, and on my smartphone they look identical. They just hide the Bitcoin and Ethereum columns.

For a few ways on how to do responsive tables, have a look at this page https://elvery.net/demo/responsive-tables/

I like the "no more tables" approach.

Great, now you cannot access half the content on the phone? (Flipping it is just annoying.)

This is the opposite of a good design.

Tables are notoriously unfit for small displays.

Hiding unnecessary columns is a trade-off for the smaller screen.

In this case, I'd say it's okay as the absolute numbers are not that important and the relative numbers are the important information.
