Title: Determining market cap for an ICO Post by: morpheus305 on August 23, 2017, 02:56:31 AM When I am looking at a white paper for an ICO how do you determine the market cap exactly? Does coin circulation only include tokens sold or does it include coins given to the development team and tokens set aside to pay for dev costs?

A common mistake while trying to calculate marketcap is looking at the total supply or max supply but that is incorrect. You must you the current amount in circulation as that gives you the correct answer Title: Re: Determining market cap for an ICO Post by: morpheus305 on August 23, 2017, 07:34:46 PM Marketcap is determined by this equation: coins in circulation * price of coin = total marketcap A common mistake while trying to calculate marketcap is looking at the total supply or max supply but that is incorrect.

If they are locked then you count them when they are released after a milestone is achieved for example. So as long as they are distributed to the team and aren't specified as being time-locked then they should be counted in as circulated correct? |
