Understanding Market Capitalization
Market capitalization (market cap) is one of the most important metrics for evaluating a cryptocurrency. It represents the total value of all coins in circulation and helps investors compare the relative size of different cryptocurrencies.
- 02
How Market Cap Is Calculated
Market Cap = Current Price x Circulating Supply
For example, if a coin costs $50 and there are 10 million coins in circulation, the market cap is $500 million.
- 03
Market Cap Categories
- Large Cap (>$10B): Well-established projects like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Lower risk, lower growth potential.
- Mid Cap ($1B-$10B): Growing projects with more risk but higher growth potential.
- Small Cap ($100M-$1B): Newer or niche projects. Higher risk and volatility.
- Micro Cap (<$100M): Very early or speculative projects with the highest risk.
- 04
Important Nuances
- Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV): Market cap if all tokens (including unreleased ones) were in circulation
- Market cap alone does not determine if a coin is cheap or expensive
- Circulating Supply vs Total Supply vs Max Supply - understanding these distinctions is critical
