According to figures, the total crypto market cap grew from $180 billion in early 2020 to over $2.8 trillion by the conclusion of 2021. Due to the dynamic advancement of GameFi, NFT, Metaverse, and Defi, it’s easy to forecast a crypto market cap of over $4 trillion by the conclusion of 2022.

Introducing TMC

The total cryptocurrency market capitalization refers to the total value of all cryptocurrencies in circulation.

The value of capitalization tends to change due to the comparatively high volatility of cryptocurrency markets, and we have seen it rise from over $20 billion to $1.3 trillion.

Calculating a cryptocurrency’s market capitalization is derived by multiplying the current price by the circulating supply, thus making TMC the sum of all cryptocurrency market capitalizations.

With recent innovations, the TMC can be tracked and traded as an asset.
