WHAT IS COINMARKETCAP?

CoinMarketCap is the most widely used crypto market data platform in the world. It tracks prices, market capitalization, volume, supply, and performance of cryptocurrencies and exchanges in real time.

Why CoinMarketCap Matters

The current trading value of a coin across supported exchanges.
Market Capitalization;
Price × circulating supply.
This shows the relative size of a project compared to others.
Circulating Supply;
How many tokens are currently available to the public.

Total Supply

All tokens that exist, excluding burned tokens.
Max Supply
The maximum number of tokens that will ever exist, if capped.
24h Volume;
How much of the token was traded in the last 24 hours. This helps assess liquidity and activity.

CoinMarketCap Rankings
