Glossary readUpdated July 12, 2026

What it means

Circulating supply attempts to count tokens that are unlocked and available, excluding some team, treasury, vesting, or reserve balances.

Why it matters

Supply definitions vary by data provider. If circulating supply is overstated or understated, market cap comparisons can mislead readers.
