Market capitalization in the cryptocurrency space, often referred to as "market cap," is calculated by multiplying the circulating supply of a coin by its current price at any given time.
Top cryptocurrencies are typically ranked based on their market capitalization. On this page, you can view the market caps of all available cryptocurrencies on OKX. You can also display columns for price changes and market capitalization in ascending or descending order.
How Cryptocurrency Prices Are Determined
Cryptocurrency prices reflect current supply and demand trends for digital assets. If buying pressure outweighs selling pressure, prices rise. Conversely, when sellers outnumber buyers, prices decline.
Unlike fiat currencies, many cryptocurrencies—such as Bitcoin—often have fixed issuance rates or limited total supplies. Since pricing correlates with demand and scarcity, a capped or restricted supply can influence asset value by increasing rarity.
