💡 Crypto 26:🏛️ Market Cap: A Coin's True Size

Market capitalization (market cap) = the total value of all coins in circulation. It's how we compare the "size" of different cryptocurrencies! 📏

The Formula:
Market Cap = Current Price × Circulating Supply

Example:
If Coin X costs $10 and has 1 million coins in circulation:
Market Cap = $10 × 1,000,000 = $10,000,000

Market Cap Categories:

🐋 Large Cap ($10B+): Bitcoin, Ethereum
• More stable, established, lower growth potential
• "Blue chips" of crypto

🐬 Mid Cap ($1B - $10B): Many Layer 1s
• Moderate risk, moderate growth potential
• Established projects with room to grow

🐟 Small Cap (Under $1B): New projects
• Higher risk, higher potential returns
• More volatility, more scams

Pro Tip: Market cap > price for comparing coins. A $1 coin with tiny cap isn't "cheaper" than a $50,000 Bitcoin! 🧠
