People Also Ask
What is market cap in crypto?
It is a coin's total value, calculated as its price multiplied by its circulating supply, and used to rank and compare cryptocurrencies.
Why is market cap more useful than price?
Price alone is misleading because a cheap-looking coin with a huge supply can still have a very large market cap and valuation.
What is the difference between market cap and fully diluted valuation?
Market cap uses circulating supply, while fully diluted valuation (FDV) uses the total eventual supply including tokens not yet in circulation.
