Today's crypto prices by market cap
How is circulating supply counted?
A coin's market cap only counts the coins that are out in the world today. For many newer tokens that's a small slice of the total.
The rest is waiting in wallets held by the team, early investors and the project itself. Where those coins sit, and when they move, can matter more than any price chart.
Three numbers, one coin
Circulating supply is what can trade today. Total supply adds locked coins. Max supply is the hard limit, if the coin has one. Free to reuse
It's an estimate, not an exact count. Providers decide which wallets to exclude, such as team allocations still locked up, so figures differ slightly between sites. KryptoKap uses CoinMarketCap's figure.
Max supply is the hard limit on how many coins can ever exist. Some coins have one, like Bitcoin's 21 million. Others, like Ethereum and Dogecoin, have no hard cap.
Many projects release coins on a schedule. When a large batch unlocks, circulating supply jumps, and if demand doesn't keep up, the price usually falls to absorb it.
Circulating, total and max supply, compared
Imagine a coin with a max supply of 1 billion. 800 million have been created so far (total supply), and 420 million of those are out in the market (circulating). The other 380 million are held by the team and investors under lock-up.
Market cap uses the 420 million. Fully diluted value uses the 1 billion. The gap between them is supply still to come.
How supply grows or shrinks
Supply grows through mining or staking rewards, scheduled unlocks and, for some tokens, minting by the team. It shrinks through burns. Ethereum, for example, burns part of every transaction fee.
When you see a coin's market cap rise while its price is flat, a supply increase is usually the reason.
Supply inflation: what new coins do to the price
If 10% more coins enter circulation and buyers don't add money, the same $500 million is spread over 550 million coins and each one falls 9.1%. Free to reuse
When circulating supply grows, the same demand gets spread over more coins. The math is simple. If market cap stays the same, price falls in proportion to the new supply.
Say a coin has 500 million in circulation at $1.00, a $500 million market cap. Over a year, staking rewards and unlocks add 50 million coins, a 10% increase. If buyers don't add any money, the $500 million is now divided among 550 million coins, so each is worth about $0.909. That's a 9.1% price drop with no bad news at all. To simply hold its price, the coin needs 10% more money flowing in.
You can work out any coin's supply inflation yourself. Compare circulating supply today with the figure a year ago, or look up its issuance schedule. For reference, Bitcoin creates about 450 new coins a day since the April 2024 halving, roughly 164,000 a year, which is under 1% of its supply. Many newer tokens release far more, sometimes 20% to 50% of their circulating supply in a single year as team and investor allocations unlock. Staking rewards look like income, but if a token pays 8% a year in new coins, holders who don't stake are being diluted by that amount.
Why two sites show different supply figures
Providers decide wallet by wallet what counts. Including one 120 million coin treasury moves circulating supply from 750 million to 870 million and market cap from $1.50 billion to $1.74 billion. Free to reuse
There is no official circulating supply for most tokens. Data providers look at the wallets that hold a token and decide, wallet by wallet, which ones count. Coins in public hands and on exchanges are usually counted. Coins locked in vesting contracts are usually left out. The gray zone is everything in between, such as foundation treasuries, ecosystem funds, market maker wallets and coins staked by the team.
Here's how much that matters. A coin has 1 billion created. 600 million sit with the public, 150 million on exchanges, 120 million in a foundation treasury and 130 million locked for the team. Provider A counts 750 million as circulating and, at $2.00, shows a $1.50 billion market cap. Provider B also counts the treasury, 870 million, and shows $1.74 billion. Same coin, same price, a 16% gap, enough to move it several places in the rankings.
Projects can also report their own figures to data providers, which creates an incentive to make supply look smaller or larger. When numbers disagree, check the project's tokenomics page and the largest wallets on a block explorer. KryptoKap uses CoinMarketCap's figure so every coin is measured by the same rules, even where those rules are imperfect.
Key terms
Circulating supply
Coins currently out in the market.
Total supply
All coins created so far, minus any burned, including locked ones.
Max supply
The most coins that can ever exist, if there's a limit.
Burn
Sending coins to an address no one controls, removing them for good.
Where the number falls short
Who holds the coins. A circulating coin can sit on an exchange, in a lost wallet or in a treasury that hasn't sold in years.
When the rest arrives. The gap to max supply shows how much is left, not the schedule. That's in each project's own tokenomics.
Whether coins are really gone. Lost bitcoin still counts as circulating, because nobody can prove it's lost.
What people get wrong
Circulating supply isn't the number of coins actively trading. Many circulating coins sit untouched for years.
Lost coins usually still count as circulating, because nobody can prove they're gone.
Why it matters
Circulating supply is what market cap is built on, so a wrong or changing figure changes every comparison you make with it.
Common questions
How is total supply different from circulating supply?
Total supply counts every coin created so far, including locked ones. Circulating supply leaves out coins that can't trade yet.
Does burning coins reduce circulating supply?
Yes, if the burned coins were circulating. Coins sent to an address no one controls can never move again, so providers subtract them. Burns from a locked or unissued reserve lower total or max supply instead, and don't change what's trading today.
Why does circulating supply change every day?
New coins arrive from mining or staking rewards and scheduled unlocks, and some leave through burns. Providers also reclassify wallets from time to time, which can move the figure in one jump even when no coins actually moved.
