Market capitalisation

Circulating supply multiplied by the current price.

What it means

Circulating supply multiplied by the current price.

Why it matters when you trade

Market cap answers "what is this network valued at", not "how much money went in". It is also trivially gamed by supply choices: two tokens at identical caps can have wildly different float, unlock schedules and concentration. A low price per token means nothing on its own — supply is the other half of the sentence and it is the half beginners ignore.

Worked example

A $0.002 token with 500 billion supply is a $1B network. A $80 token with 12 million supply is a $960M one. The cheap-looking token is the larger.

See it on live markets

DexLadder runs market capitalisation against live market and pool data, with simulated capital, so you can watch it act on an order instead of reading about it — no account, no wallet, nothing installed.
