Thanks to our previous guide for updating Circulation Supply on Coingecko<\/a>, many altcoins have already increased their ranking and visibility on CG. Today, you’ll learn how to get a Circulating Supply for your token on CMC. As a result, your coin gets a dynamic Market Capitalization, improves its Rank on CoinMarketCap, and obtains other advantages. So, let’s do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s Circulating Supply?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to the CMC’s FAQ<\/a> the Circulating Supply is the best assumption of the number of assets circulating in the market (existing in the general public’s hands). Also, CMC believes that Circulating Supply is a much better metric than Total Token Supply for determining an asset’s market capitalization. Such a method of using the Circulating Supply is similar to using public float to determine the market cap of traditional companies on stock exchanges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advantages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An updated CS (Circulating Supply) provides a coin with many competitive advantages. Some of the core benefits include dynamic market capitalization, ranking, and additional demand from investors\/traders.<\/p>\n\n\n

Market capitalization<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

So, the first unbeatable advantage of getting CS (Circulating Supply) is the visibility of the Market Capitalization of a coin on CoinMarketCap. Due to CMC’s guidance<\/a>, the Market Cap is the number of tokens (in circulation) multiplied by the token’s price. Thus, a coin automatically obtains dynamic Market Cap stats after updating a circulation supply. Moreover, market capitalization (as well as CS) is updating in real-time because CMC’s tracker uses a supply module that references all wallet balances and uses relevant block explorer APIs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rank<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Another great benefit of having CS on CoinmarketCap is the Rank. What’s that? The Rank is the positioning of an altcoin in CMC’s list of crypto-assets<\/a>. For example, Bitcoin has a Rank of #1. So, the higher the ranking, the better visibility of a coin. Also, CMC sorts all coins by market cap. So, having a high circulating supply and token price is reasonable. Furthermore, the bigger the number of markets and exchanges where a coin is available for trading, the better coin’s ranking.<\/p>\n\n\n

Additional buyers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

An additional advantage of having a dynamic circulation supply, market cap, and ranking is bringing more buyers for a token. Why? The answer is obvious. First, much more potential buyers could notice a cryptocurrency that has a rank on CMC. Second, these traders and investors would have more reasons to purchase a cryptocurrency with a circulating supply’s data and market cap traction on CoinMarketCap. Also, appraise the most reliable coin trackers<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to update Circulating Supply on CMC?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After checking the requirements<\/a> and having a token visible on CMC<\/a>, you can update its Circulating Supply on CoinMarketCap. The process consists of two main steps: submitting the form\/request and filling out the spreadsheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1. Fill out and submit the form<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Only after listing<\/a> a token on CoinMarketCap, open a Request Form<\/a> and select “Update supply figures.” Also, remember to check the requirements<\/a>. Otherwise, you waste time if your token’s parameters don’t satisfy the criteria.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"submitting

Then, enter the official email address of your project. It should have the same domain as your project’s website domain. Also, enter the subject in a format like “[Project’s full name] – [Token Symbol] – [Update supply]” Don’t forget to check all boxes.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

After that, open a spreadsheet’s template<\/a>, and make a copy. Correspondingly, name it “[Token name] – CMC Form Public.” <\/p>\n\n\n

\n

Then, press a “Share” button to make your spreadsheet public.<\/p>\n\n\n

Now, open your project’s official Twitter account and post with the following text: “Great news, we have just submitted a token supply data to the @CoinMarketCap!” Then, copy the link to your Tweet and enter it into the form like, “This is the link to the Twitter post showing that this request is authentic: [LINK TO THE TWEETER POST].”<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

Also, enter the link to the CoinMarketCap page of your token (example: https:\/\/coinmarketcap.com\/currencies\/tokpie\/) in the “Project(s)’ CMC URL(s)” field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, click on the Submit button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2. Fill in spreadsheet<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To finalize the process, fill in the spreadsheet with relevant data about a token supply. A good example you can find is in the “A-Sample” list<\/a>.
