Difference between Circulating Supply and Total Supply of Crypto Currency

[Zevin]

The circulating supply of crypto currency is the maximum number of coins of any crypto currency available in the market. The number increases when a new coin is mined and the number decreases when a coin burns. Total supply of crypto currency is the maximum coins that can be mined and will be supplied in the market.
Have a look into circulating supply (available in the market) for some of the top crypto currencies:
Bitcoin: 19 million
Ethereum: 114.4 million
Bitcoin cash: 19 million
Litecoin: 66.4 million

Take a look ay the total supply of top crypto currencies:
Bitcoin: 21 million
Ethereum: No, maximum limit set
Bitcoin cash: 21 million
Litecoin: 84 million

What will be the price of bitcoin after 21 million bitcoins are mined?

When all bitcoin has been mined, the miners will no longer receive block rewards since there are no more coins to be generated. They will only earn from the transaction fees to be collected from every confirmed transaction. Miners can continue securing the network since they will still earn from the said fees.

Circulating supply is the amount of coins or tokens that's been mined or generated. It's the approximate number that's currently in public hands and circulating in the market. Total Supply: The amount of coins that is already in circulation new mined coins which are not in the market is the Total supply.

Many experts are predicting great prices for bitcoin when the maximum supply is reached and l even read an article where one of experts is saying that bitcoin price can go as higher as one million dollars by the time all the bitcoins are mined.

The circulating supply of cryto currency refers to the coins that are accessible to the public and should not be confused with the total supply or max supply. The total supply is used to quantify the number of coins in existence, i.e., the number of coins that were already issued minus the coins that were burned. The total supply is basically the sum of the circulating supply and the coins that are locked up in escrow. On the other hand, the max supply quantifies the maximum amount of coins that will ever exist, including the coins that will be mined or made available in the future.

Moreover, the circulating supply of a cryptocurrency can be used for calculating its market capitalization, which is generated by multiplying the current market price with the number of coins in circulation. Basically with this explanation I could tell you their is difference in calculating supply and crytocurrencies .

Total Supply is the current amount of a cryptocurrency that has already been mined or created.
Circulating Supply is the current amount of a cryptocurrency that's both been mined (or created) and is technically available to use. However, it does not include coins that can be created, but have not yet been created

Circulating Supply is the best approximation of the number of coins that are circulating in the market and in the general public's hands.
Total Supply is the total amount of coins in existence right now (minus any coins that have been verifiably burned).

The number increases when a new coin is mined and the number decreases when a coin burns. Total supply of crypto currency is the maximum coins that can be mined and will be supplied in the market.

What will be the price of bitcoin after 21 million bitcoins are mined?

Well I was confused about total supply and circulating supply of any cryptocurrency but I know the price of cryptocurrency is the ratio of market cap and circulating supply if market cap will be increased then the value of their cryptocurrency will be increased if the circulation supply will be increased then the value will be down.

The term circulating supply refers to the number of cryptocurrency coins or tokens that are publicly available and circulating in the market. Example the circulating supply of Bitcoin will gradually increase.

The total supply refers to the total amount of bitcoin the miners have mined all through while the circulating amount refers to the total amount of bitcoin being sent out or trades. The difference is as a result of the fact that some people invest their bitcoin or hoard it, hence making the supply lesser than demand sometimes.

After 21 million BTC have been mined, which is estimated to be in 2040, the transaction costs will be very large, due to cover the operational costs of the miners. After Bitcoin is mined the Bitcoin price will depend entirely on supply and demand. But there will be only a few people who use Bitcoin as a means of payment, but mostly for investment and trading, so Bitcoin will be more likely to be treated as a commodity like stocks and other securities. I estimate the Bitcoin price will reach over $ 600k.

Thank you very much for adding value to the discussion. There are just 2 million bitcoins to be mined and the current price is just about $36K. When all 21 million bitcoins will be mined, the value of bitcoins will be very high. The price you have predicted looks realistic. However, I will have to learn more about the operational cost of bitcoins after all coins are mined.

In simple terms circulatory cryptocurrency are crypto currency that are in circulation. They are the amount of cryptocurrency that that are out there excluding the ones yet to be mined and they can fluctuate. When mined the cryptocurrency in circulation increase but when burned they reduce unlike total cryptocurrency that has a fixed value. For total cryptocurrency it is the amount of cryptocurrency that is available in the market both mined and unmined.

Yes it is maximum amount of coins Well I was confused about total supply and circulating supply of any cryptocurrency but I know the price of cryptocurrency is the ratio of market cap and circulating supply if market cap will be increased then the value of their cryptocurrency will be increased if the circulation supply will be increased then the value will be down.

With my own thinking. The circulating supply of crypto currency is also one of the tool to determine or predicts the price of a crypto currency. If the circulation supply that is available increases this means there will be more coin to trade with making the price to fall and vise versa

 

[Ralphjoe]

Circulating supply means the total number of cryptocurrencies that is currently available to the public for use. This supply most times determine the price of the cryptocurrencies as when the supply is much then the price of the cryto is decreased.

The way things are, Bitcoin transactions are prepared by the Network arranged by the transaction fees related to that particular Transaction. The higher the fee, the more motivation there is for an miners to focus on your to be remembered for a square.

What Happens When the Last Bitcoin is Mined? Ultimately, these transaction expenses should become significant enough that it willencourage miners to continue mining despite the fact that they won't get a square prize. So while new bitcoins will stop to appear, bitcoin Miners will in any case get paid.

 

[Chumzy]

For coins like bitcoin that have a maximum number of coins that can ever be available. It is the total supply of the coin that can ever be mined out to the public. Circulating supply would then be the current supply of the coin already available to the public.
