Fully diluted market cap (FDMC) is the maximum supply of tokens multiplied by the token price.
It asks the question: What if all tokens were in circulation?
If a #fullydilutedmarketcap is much higher than the market cap, it means there are a lot of tokens locked up waiting to come on the market.
Example:
If the market cap is only 10% of the FDMC and assuming the tokens are all released in the next year, the project has to demonstrate 10x growth (1000% !) in a year just to MAINTAIN its current price.
This is an extreme case. Usually, 90% of the supply is not released that quickly. But you can use the comparison of FDMC and MC to guide you toward asking the pertinent next questions in your research.
Can we simply apply what we know from #Econ101 to tokens and become successful investors and buidlers?
We asked a Tokenomist to find out! 🧵 👇
#Economics is a social science that studies the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services that focuses on the behavior and interactions of economic actors and how economies work. Economics is PREDICTIVE: Given rules, what outcome can one expect?
#Tokenomics is the study of token supply & demand dynamics, behavioral mechanisms, and incentive design. All characteristics are programmed and the outcomes can be observed transparently on-chain.
Tokenomics is DESIGN oriented: Given desired outcomes, what rules does one create?
