How It Works
Market cap categories in crypto: Large-cap (>$10B) — Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana. Generally more liquid and less volatile. Mid-cap ($1B–$10B) — Established altcoins with real ecosystems. Higher growth potential with moderate risk. Small-cap (<$1B) — Emerging projects. High risk, high reward. For comparison to equities: Bitcoin's market cap exceeds that of JPMorgan, Tesla, and most Fortune 500 companies.
Why It Matters for Investors
Market cap tells you relative size — but not value. A $100M market cap with no product and 10 users is very different from one with real adoption. Critics note that fully diluted valuation (FDV) — which includes all tokens that will ever be issued, not just those currently circulating — often tells a more honest story, especially for newer tokens with large vesting schedules.
TRUE AI & Market Cap
TRUE AI tracks market cap, fully diluted valuation, and circulating vs. total supply for thousands of assets. It can instantly rank assets by market cap, identify which sectors are attracting the most capital flows, and flag when a token's FDV is dangerously high relative to its circulating market cap.
