Initial circulating supply is the total number of tokens or coins available to the public at the time a cryptocurrency project launches. This metric represents the portion of the total token supply that is actively trading on exchanges and accessible to investors from the outset. It excludes tokens held by the project team, locked in vesting schedules, or reserved for future distribution. Understanding this figure is crucial for assessing a digital asset’s initial market capitalization and potential price dynamics.
Context
The initial circulating supply is a critical data point for investors and analysts evaluating new cryptocurrency projects, as it directly impacts early market valuation. Transparency regarding this figure is often a subject of scrutiny, with concerns sometimes arising over potential market manipulation if a large portion is held by insiders. Project teams frequently communicate this metric to provide clarity on token distribution and market availability.
