Quick Fact:
The difference between circulating supply, total supply, and maximum supply in cryptocurrency projects.
🚀 Circulating Supply:
- The number of coins actually available in the market that people can buy or trade.
🏗️ Total Supply:
- All coins issued to date (some may be locked or allocated to the project team or other parties previously invested in the project).
⛔ Max Supply:
- The maximum number of coins that can be produced over the entire lifespan of the project. (Some coins, such as Ethereum, have no limit.)
⸻
💡 Why are these numbers important to investors?
- If a large amount of a coin is not yet available, it means the price may drop when it is unblocked and sold.
- Projects with a limited supply are often more attractive and desirable.
