Market Capitalization

Market capitalisation (market cap) is a measure of a cryptocurrency’s total value, found by multiplying its current price by the number of coins in circulation.

Market cap is widely used to rank and compare assets, but it can be misleading: a low price does not mean a coin is “cheap,” and thinly traded tokens can show large caps on very little real liquidity.
