What is the circulation supply?

In simple words, a Circulating supply is the free float of your project’s cryptocurrency. Another definition is the number of your project’s tokens that people can buy and sell on exchanges’ spot markets right now.

What is the circulation supply formula?

Simultaneously, the Circulating supply formula can vary depending on the tokenomics of a project. In general, there are two types of tokenomics. The first is when a company creates a fixed amount of tokens. The second one is when a company issues coins whose total supply can vary in the future.   

Fixed total supply of tokens

90% of projects issue a strict amount of tokens without any possibility to generate new coins in the future. In that case, the Circulation supply formula is as follow:

Circulating supply = Total Supply - Team & foundres' tokens - Treasury tokens - Locked tokens

Important to note that potential token-buyers prefer to have coins whose price will not be affected by additional token supply. 

Flexible total supply of tokens

The second type is when a project creates mintable cryptocurrency. So, the total supply might be increasing or decreasing in the future due to the smart contract conditions. In this case, the Circulation supply formula is quite simple:

Circulating supply = Total Supply

Why is circulation supply so important?

It’s hard to overestimate the importance of the circulation supply. It affects the market capitalization of your project and rank on coin trackers. A high rank on trackers, in turn, automatically attracts potential buyers, users, and partners into your project. Moreover, a high circulation supply inspires current and future token-holders to keep your cryptocurrency.

It’s important to note that the circulating supply only works when trackers display it. So it doesn’t matter what you state on your project website about total and circulation supply.

How to improve market cap with circulating supply?

Obviously, to increase your cryptocurrency market capitalization, you should increase its circulating supply reported by trackers if your token price is stable then, the higher your token’s circulating supply, the bigger its market capitalization.
