Market Capitalization

Summary

Market Capitalization, often referred to as 'market cap', is a financial metric that represents the total market value of a cryptocurrency's circulating supply.

Detailed Description

Market Capitalization is calculated by multiplying the current price of a cryptocurrency by the total number of coins that are in circulation. This metric is used to assess a cryptocurrency’s size and growth relative to other cryptocurrencies. A higher market cap generally indicates a more stable investment, while a lower market cap is often associated with volatility and higher risk.
