Calculated by multiplying the total coins in circulation by the price per coin, this figure helps assess whether a cryptocurrency is a solid choice compared to others in terms of safety and potential returns.

The analysis also unveils that the top 120 cryptocurrencies account for a staggering 93.07% of the total market.

Speaking on the result of the analysis, Invezz Market analyst, Crispus Nyaga commented that: “Market cap remains a crucial gauge of a cryptocurrency’s relevance, despite being criticized for reflecting long-term popularity rather than immediate value. Large-cap cryptocurrencies, with market caps exceeding $10 billion, are generally viewed as safer investments due to their stability compared to smaller assets. Mid-cap cryptos, while more volatile, offer greater growth potential, while small-cap cryptocurrencies are highly risky but may present short-term growth opportunities with the caveat of sudden crashes.”
