What the market cap comparison tool does
The Market Cap Comparison tool answers the classic “what if” question: if one coin had the total market value of another, what would its unit price be? It is the fastest way to see why a low price tag does not make a coin “cheap” — value lives in price multiplied by supply, not price alone.
How it works
A coin’s circulating supply is its market cap divided by its price. To find an implied price, the tool applies a target market cap to that same supply.
Worked example
Illustrative example — hypothetical figures, not live data
Suppose Coin A trades at $2 with 10 billion coins in circulation, giving a market cap of $20 billion. Coin B has a market cap of $200 billion.
- If Coin A reached Coin B’s market cap: $200B ÷ 10B = $20 per coin
- That is a 10× move in price — driven entirely by the difference in valuation, not the starting price.
Same price, very different value
Two coins can share a unit price yet be worth wildly different amounts because their supplies differ. The table shows three coins all priced at $1.
| Coin | Price | Supply | Market cap |
|---|---|---|---|
| X | $1 | 100 million | $100M |
| Y | $1 | 5 billion | $5B |
| Z | $1 | 50 billion | $50B |
How to use it
- Pick the coin in the “if this coin…” selector.
- Pick a second coin in “…had the market cap of.”
- Read the implied price and the multiple versus the coin’s current price.
Limits to keep in mind
- Reaching another coin’s market cap is a thought experiment, not a prediction — most never do.
- It uses circulating supply; a coin with a large locked or future maximum supply has hidden dilution.
- Market cap ignores liquidity — a high cap can still be thinly traded.
