The FOMOEgg egg in the studio, illustrating: What is market cap in crypto?
Short answer

Price times circulating supply. It shows size, not what you could actually sell for.

How to check it yourself

  1. Multiply the price by the circulating supply yourself and compare it with the tracker's number.
  2. Check where the circulating supply figure comes from. Trackers sometimes use different numbers.
  3. Compare market cap with pool liquidity. Liquidity is closer to what could actually be sold.
