Which crypto tokens score highest on vesting schedule?

Ethereum (ETH) at 10, Wrapped Lido Staked ETH (WSTETH) at 10, Bitcoin (BTC) at 10, Rocket Pool ETH (RETH) at 10, Coinbase Wrapped Staked ETH (CBETH) at 10 lead the 251 rated tokens on Vesting Schedule, each scored 1 to 10 against the same definition.

What is a good vesting schedule score?

The median across the universe is 5 of 10 and the mean is 5.25, so anything at 7 or above sits well inside the top of the distribution. Only 20 of 251 tokens reach 9 or 10.

Does vesting schedule affect a token's market cap?

Rank correlation between Vesting Schedule and market capitalisation is 0.13 across 236 tokens with live market data. That is close to none, so the market is not pricing this variable today.

What this variable measures

The size and timing of scheduled releases still ahead, from team, investor and treasury allocations.

A 10 means the vesting is done or immaterial. A 1 means large cliffs are still to come at prices far below where insiders bought.

A scheduled release is the one piece of future selling pressure that is knowable in advance, and it is routinely ignored.

What the universe says

Across 251 rated tokens the median score on Vesting Schedule is 5 of 10 and the mean is 5.25. 20 tokens score 9 or 10, and 29 score 2 or below. Ethereum leads at 10 of 10.

Vesting Schedule correlates 0.32 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, Vesting Schedule carries a rank correlation of 0.13. That is effectively no relationship. Whatever this variable measures, the market is not currently charging for it, which is the definition of an unpriced edge if you believe the variable matters.

Vesting Schedule and Supply Inflation correlate 0.87, 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 Vesting Schedule, 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.

Distribution across the universe

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.

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.
