What this variable measures

Attention: how much of the conversation the asset holds, and whether that share is rising.

A 10 means a live, growing audience. A 1 means an asset nobody is discussing.

Attention is the last thing to arrive and the first to leave. Read high scores as a warning as often as a strength.

02

What the universe says

Across 251 rated tokens the median score on Social Mindshare is 4 of 10 and the mean is 4.16. 4 tokens score 9 or 10, and 22 score 2 or below. Bitcoin leads at 10 of 10.

Social Mindshare correlates 0.63 with the composite score across the universe, which makes it strongly tied to overall standing. It moves with quality without being a proxy for it.

Against live market capitalisation for the 236 tokens with a matched market row, Social Mindshare carries a rank correlation of 0.57. The market already pays up for this. A high score is priced in, and the interesting cases are the tokens that score well and are still small.

The closest variable to Social Mindshare is Active Users at 0.73, which is strongly tied to it. Nothing else in the framework restates this one, so it earns its slot.

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 social mindshare?
Bitcoin (BTC) at 10, Hyperliquid (HYPE) at 9, Solana (SOL) at 9, Dogecoin (DOGE) at 9, Sui (SUI) at 8 lead the 251 rated tokens on Social Mindshare, each scored 1 to 10 against the same definition.
What is a good social mindshare score?
The median across the universe is 4 of 10 and the mean is 4.16, so anything at 7 or above sits well inside the top of the distribution. Only 4 of 251 tokens reach 9 or 10.
Does social mindshare affect a token's market cap?
Rank correlation between Social Mindshare and market capitalisation is 0.57 across 236 tokens with live market data. That is a clear relationship, so most of a high score is already in the price.
