Capitalisation
Valeur totale de toutes les pieces en circulation: prix multiplie par l'offre.
Market capitalisation is the most widely used metric to rank cryptocurrencies. It is computed by multiplying the current price of one coin by the number of coins currently in circulation. A high market cap generally implies wider adoption and deeper liquidity, though it does not guarantee stability.
Investors compare market caps to gauge relative size. Bitcoin's market cap, for example, dwarfs most altcoins, which is why its dominance percentage is closely watched. Projects can also report fully-diluted market cap, which replaces circulating supply with maximum supply.
Market cap is a snapshot, not a measure of total money invested. A coin could have a billion-dollar market cap with relatively little actual capital inflow if trading volumes are thin and the last trade set a high price on a small quantity.
Market cap helps investors quickly compare the relative size and perceived value of different crypto assets, serving as a first filter before deeper analysis.

FAQ
How is market cap calculated?
It is the current price of one coin multiplied by the circulating supply. Fully-diluted market cap uses the maximum possible supply instead.
Does a higher market cap mean safer investment?
Not necessarily. Higher market cap usually means more liquidity and stability, but it does not eliminate risk. Many large-cap tokens have still experienced sharp declines.
What is the difference between market cap and volume?
Market cap measures total value of all coins in circulation while volume measures how much is actually being traded in a given period.
Can market cap be manipulated?
In low-liquidity tokens, a single large trade can move the price and therefore inflate or deflate market cap disproportionately, which is why volume context matters.
