Title: CAP constant while price goes down?
Post by: ImNoRobot on October 06, 2017, 03:04:20 PM
Hi guys, if you check SALT on https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/salt/, you can see that the CAP stays up, while price goes down. If CAP=price*amount of tokens, then whats the reason for that? Have tokens been created or why does this happen?

They probably release large amount of coin, that lowers the price and market cap stayed at its value.

thanks for answering. so how can they technically just create/release new tokens, how does that process work? And why should they do that? I mean its firing inflation isnt it?
