Crypto Market Cap Explained: How to Compare Coins Beyond Their Price

A coin’s price does not tell you whether it is cheap or expensive. Crypto market capitalisation gives a clearer picture by multiplying the current price by the number of coins in circulation. This guide explains market cap, circulating supply, total supply, maximum supply and fully diluted valuation. It also shows why a low-priced token can still have a very large valuation, and why supply matters before judging a coin’s growth potential. Market cap can help you compare projects and assess liquidity, but it is not a guarantee of quality or safety. Check trading volume, token unlocks, real-world use, and project fundamentals before risking money on any cryptocurrency.
