Market cap in one sentence: price per coin × circulating supply—that’s the coin’s true size.
A low price doesn’t mean a coin is cheap: one SHIB costs just $0.00000486, with a long string of zeros after the decimal point. But there are 589 trillion in circulation, giving it a market cap of about $2.9 billion and a rank of 37. A coin worth less than a penny can still be a giant.
The reverse is true, too: ETH costs $2,338 per coin—480,000 times more than SHIB—but its market cap is $285.7 billion, only about 100 times larger. Price per coin is just a way of slicing the pie: cut it into 8 pieces or 100, and the total stays the same.
There’s another trap: FDV. WLD has 3.7 billion tokens in circulation out of a total supply of 10 billion, so only 37% has been released. Its market cap is about $1.7 billion. If all the tokens were valued at today’s price, its FDV would be about $4.5 billion. The remaining 63% could be unlocked in the future, creating potential selling pressure.
Here’s what to do: don’t focus on price per coin—look at market cap. Before buying, check the circulating supply, total supply, FDV, and unlock schedule. For coins with low circulating supply and high FDV, ask yourself who will buy when those tokens unlock.
