Difference between Circulating Supply and Total Supply of Crypto Currency

[idhans]

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?

Once bitcoin reaches it total mining capacity the price of Bitcoin might rise Above 100000 dollars since the coin will be scarce in the market by then. Miners will make a lot of money from transaction fees, and transaction fees will be much higher.

Circulating supply is the total number of coin already mined and is in circulation.
However, total supply is the total number of coin that can be mined and put into circulation in the life time of a coin.

Coins are mined and burnt from time to time, thus increasing or reducing the circulating supply.

My post clearly defines what circulating supply is and what total supply is. You are just repeating what I have explained. You were supposed to add value to the discussion and not repeat what has been already said. You could have done a little bit of research on the topic and added new information. on the topic.

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.

It can be confusing because it's all under supply but you will fined it easier to understand knowing that just like money the total supply can be related with the cap at that moment, how may Bitcoin has been mined and how much it is going for at present

Bitcoin may be gaining popularity right now, but that alone doesn't make it a smart investment. Before you invest any money, think about your tolerance for risk. If you have money to burn and are willing to risk it, it may be worth the gamble. But for most investors, it's best to steer clear of Bitcoin for right now.

If up to 21 million of Bitcoin are mined plus if a lot of Investors still pump in money into the system I believe the price of bitcoin only in the crypto currency exchange Business can reach up to 150,000 dollars. With this a lot of investors will be rich

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.

wow you explained very well. so people will go after etheruem and litcoin then brecause these coins also going on slowly slolwy. well there are so many coins comes daily and now its a routine to launch a new coin

It's not every time you make a new comment on a thread, sometimes you have to appreciate the thread creator to encourage him to do more. Thank you OP for this

There are basic difference between calculating supply and total supply of cryptocurrency to do to their range and differences in price of the different currency.

 

[Bookwormlux]

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.

That means the principle of demand and supply also plays an important role in Crypto Currencies as it does with fiat currencies. The demand for top coins like BTC is high that's why the price is up too.

 

[Adebola]

Wow thanks a lot for the enlightenment i have not really come across this total supply and circulating supply before. Its really interesting getting to know it now

 

[Dubai]

Wow! This is such an educative post you have written up there. I had no idea about the total supply of crypto currencies that are available on the globe as well as the circulating supply value.

 

[Nomad]

A good explainer on the topic that a lot of people do not understand. many people do not know that some crypto currencies have limited total supply (bitcoins for instance)

They are successful in getting a quote for the post on Facebook about the job and the best way to buy a new one for the best way to buy things for the best for the best for the new year is treating you to do business with you in the morning to see if I think of anything else I can do to

 

[Kelly5]

Very good and valid inputs you have made there. The circulating amount of Bitcoin affects the price of Bitcoin too so does the amount of Bitcoin need mined per time

Depends on the scarcity of Bitcoin in the market will determine how the price will grow I guess, because if there is enough of it in the market the price will surely come down as well.

 

[Bookwormlux]

It would be really difficult to have all the BTCs mined. Should that happen, I believe the price of BTC would go exceedingly high and people won't be able to afford it.

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 .

You have let me learn new things this morning. More kudos to you. From what you wrote, it means if all the coins in existence is now mined, what will now happen to the price of the coin. Will it increase or decrease?

 

[Sotherefore]

this means that a coin with the lowest maximum supply is the best, we should try as much as possible to get them because they are coin with the best potential, there are some coin that has a maximum supply of 200 billions like dogecoin ,they are still good but the one with the lowest supply Is always the best.

 

[Kingsley]

Circulating supply of crypto currency refers to the total amount of coin at the disposal of the investors that is been traded at the trading floor. But the total supply of crypto currencies refers to the total coin that is available both the ones at the disposal of the investors and the ones not yet bought.
