What this variable measures

Circulating supply as a share of eventual supply.

A 10 means effectively everything is already trading. A 1 means most of the eventual supply has yet to enter circulation.

The gap between market cap and fully diluted valuation is the discount the market is quietly ignoring, or the overhang it is quietly carrying.

02

What the universe says

Across 251 rated tokens the median score on Circulating / FDV Ratio is 6 of 10 and the mean is 5.84. 26 tokens score 9 or 10, and 11 score 2 or below. Ethereum leads at 10 of 10.

Circulating / FDV Ratio correlates 0.21 with the composite score across the universe, which makes it loosely tied to overall standing. That is low enough that the variable is finding something the rest of the framework misses, which is where a screen on it alone is worth running.

Against live market capitalisation for the 236 tokens with a matched market row, Circulating / FDV Ratio carries a rank correlation of 0.19. The market leans this way but does not price it consistently, so the ranking below still contains disagreement worth using.

Circulating / FDV Ratio and Vesting Schedule correlate 0.82, so reading both is close to reading one twice. Treat them as a single position on the same question rather than two independent confirmations.

Coinbase Wrapped Staked ETH (CBETH) scores 10 of 10 on Circulating / FDV Ratio, 1st of 251, on a market capitalisation under $500M. That gap between rank on this variable and rank by size is the whole reason to read the table rather than the top ten.

Tokens at each score from 1 to 10. The shape matters: a variable where almost everything clusters at 3 is telling you the whole category fails it, not that one token is unusual.

04

All 251 tokens ranked

Sorted by score on this variable alone, so a token can lead here and rank poorly overall. That disagreement is the useful part: it is where a single-variable screen finds something the composite averages away.

Scores come from the research pass dated 18 Sept 2026 and do not move with price. Market capitalisation is from the live snapshot fetched 7 Oct 2026, so the two columns are stamped at different times on purpose.

Variables that move with this one

Correlations across all 251 rated tokens. A number near 1 means the two variables are close to the same measurement, which is worth knowing before treating a second high score as independent confirmation of the first.

Common questions

Which crypto tokens score highest on circulating / fdv ratio?
Ethereum (ETH) at 10, Wrapped Lido Staked ETH (WSTETH) at 10, Rocket Pool ETH (RETH) at 10, Coinbase Wrapped Staked ETH (CBETH) at 10, Liquity (LQTY) at 10 lead the 251 rated tokens on Circulating / FDV Ratio, each scored 1 to 10 against the same definition.
What is a good circulating / fdv ratio score?
The median across the universe is 6 of 10 and the mean is 5.84, so anything at 7 or above sits well inside the top of the distribution. Only 26 of 251 tokens reach 9 or 10.
Does circulating / fdv ratio affect a token's market cap?
Rank correlation between Circulating / FDV Ratio and market capitalisation is 0.19 across 236 tokens with live market data. That is a weak relationship, so the market prices it only partly.
