How crypto market cap works
Market cap is commonly calculated as asset price multiplied by circulating supply. It is a size signal, not a safety guarantee.
Learning center / source: market data
Crypto learning center
An evergreen reference explaining market capitalization, BTC dominance, stablecoin risks, exchange scores, funding rates, open interest and other common market metrics.
How to read Bitcoin dominance
Bitcoin dominance is Bitcoin's share of total crypto market capitalization and is used as a market-structure signal.
Stablecoin risk checklist
Stablecoins can carry issuer, reserve, redemption, peg, chain, and regulatory risks even when the market price stays near one dollar.
Exchange score model
The exchange score is a comparison signal based on public trust score, reported BTC volume, and operating-age metadata.
Funding rate basics
Funding rate is a periodic payment mechanism used by perpetual futures markets and can signal positioning pressure.
Open interest basics
Open interest estimates outstanding derivatives positions and can help read leverage and liquidity context.
Information limitations
These guides explain the site's market metrics and definitions. They do not provide trading instructions, investment advice, custody or order execution.
Using the learning center with market pages
Use the learning center to understand market capitalization, volume, BTC dominance, funding rates, open interest, stablecoin pegs and exchange scores encountered on coin or exchange pages. It is not a course advertisement or trading-strategy library. It explains recurring concepts to help interpret rankings, detail pages, indices and news digests.
Suggested reading order
- Start with market capitalization and circulating supply: price alone does not determine an asset's size.
- Then examine volume and turnover to assess market activity alongside price movements.
- Next explore BTC dominance, stablecoin pegs and exchange scores to understand market structure and venue risks.
- Finally review the risk notes: this site does not provide trading, custody, deposits, withdrawals or investment advice.
