What is market cap in crypto?

Market capitalization (or market cap) is the total dollar value of all the shares of a company’s stock — or, in the case of Bitcoin or another cryptocurrency, of all the coins that have been mined. In crypto, market cap is calculated by multiplying the total number of coins that have been mined by the price of a single coin at any given time.

How do you calculate market cap?

Market capitalization, or market cap, is the total value of a company’s shares of stock. If a company has issued 10 million shares, and its share price is $100, its market cap is $1 billion. Market cap is calculated by multiplying the number of stock shares outstanding by the current share price.

What is the difference between market capitalization and market cap?

In the stock market, market capitalization refers to the total market value of all outstanding shares of a company. It’s similar in cryptocurrency, except cryptos don’t represent equity in a company like stocks. The market cap of a coin is simply what you’d get if you added up every available coin at the current price per coin.
