Market capitalization

Price × circulating supply — a rough size gauge for a cryptoasset, not a guarantee of liquidity or quality.

By Nadeem Ahmed·Updated 2026-09-09

Fully diluted valuation (FDV) uses total or max supply instead of circulating supply and can be much higher when large unlocks remain.

Low market-cap coins can move violently on small volume. Pair market-cap context with slippage awareness before sizing trades.
