  To calculate the market cap, Coingecko takes into account the price and the circulating supply of a cryptocurrency. It multiplies the price of each coin or token by the number of coins or tokens in circulation. This gives an indication of the total value of the cryptocurrency in the market. However, it's important to note that market cap is just one metric and should not be the sole factor in determining the value or potential of a cryptocurrency.

However, it's worth mentioning that market cap can be influenced by factors such as price manipulation and illiquid markets.
