Market Cap

The total value of a cryptocurrency, calculated by multiplying the current price by the total number of coins in circulation. Market cap is a quick way to gauge the size and relative importance of a crypto project. Higher market cap generally means lower risk but also lower potential for massive gains.

Example

Bitcoin has the largest market cap in crypto, often exceeding $1 trillion.
