Note that it is important to look at a project’s circulating supply and fully diluted value (or maximum supply) as some may have very inflationary tokens, which could eat away at the value of holdings.
Calculating market capitalisation
Market capitalisation= Current Price (per unit) X Total Supply (or number of circulating coins)
Market capitalisation is often used by both fundamental and technical analysts to offer a clear indicator of an asset’s acquired value. Many investors use a coin’s market cap to estimate its potential growth and calculate a risk-reward ratio.
It is necessary to note that while the market cap may provide insights about a project’s performance and size, it does not equal money inflow. This is a common mistake made by investors as the calculation of market capitalisation depends on price. However, even a minor variation in price can significantly alter the market cap.
Categorising market capitalisation
We can categorise market capitalisation in the following way:
Large-cap: These coins make the safest investments due to their large market capitalisation, which means that billions are already invested. Some examples include Bitcoin, Ethereum, EOS, Cardano, and Chainlink.
Mid-cap: We can categorise cryptocurrencies with a market cap of below $1Bn here. These coins are still popular and reliable, but they are riskier than large-cap coins.
Small-cap: These assets have a market cap of below $10M and are the riskiest assets. They have a high failure percentage and are not yet well-established projects. They tend to suffer from strong manipulation. Big market movers (whales) typically control the supply and price of cheaper coins.
Developing an understanding of market cap categorisation can assist an investor in creating a diversified portfolio. Balancing risk is an important part of investing, and it is important to know how to limit one's losses in a volatile market.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
