All Time HighMarket DataThe all time high represents the highest average price an asset traded at the end of any 15 minute interval. Thus, the all time high is not necessarily the highest price an asset was ever traded at, but the average price an asset may have been bought or sold at during a particular period of time.
All Time High DateMarket DataThe date at which the all time high, which was the highest average price an asset traded at the end of any 15 minutes interval, was recorded.
Asset NetworksClassificationNetworks on which the asset is deployed. Note that this is only based on Messari's network coverage which does not include all existing networks.
Breakeven MultipleMarket DataThe breakeven multiple is a multiple of the current price that an asset would need to regain its all time high.
Circulating MarketcapMarketcapCirculating supply of the asset multiplied by the current price.
Circulating SupplyMarketcapCommonly reported circulating supply of the asset.
Cycle LowMarket DataThe cycle low is the lowest average price an asset traded at the end of any 15 minute interval after the asset's all time high
Cycle Low DateMarket DataThe date that the cycle low, which is the lowest average price an asset traded at the end of any 15 minutes interval after the asset's all time high, was recorded.
Exchanges TradedMarket DataExchanges tracked by Messari on which the asset is being traded. Note that this is only based on Messari's market data coverage which may not include all existing exchanges on which an asset is being traded on.
Fully Diluted MarketcapMarketcapThe fully diluted marketcap is the marketcap of an asset if its maximum supply was in circulation now. It is calculated by multiplying the asset's maximum supply by the latest daily close price. If an asset has no maximum supply (like Ethereum) the fully diluted marketcap is set to be the current circulating marketcap.

Real VolumeMarket DataTrading over the last 24hrs from the 10 exchanges identified by Bitwise Investments as well-functioning markets. As of early 2019, it suspected that the majority of reported global trade volume is due to wash-trading or other practices that are not representative of well-functioning markets. This 'Real 10 Volume' metric omits volume from exchanges that don't show consistent patterns of well functioning markets. The 10 exchanges meeting that criteria, as identified by Bitwise Investments are: Binance, Kraken, Bitfinex, Coinbase. Bitstamp, BitFlyer, Gemini, itBit, Bittrex, and Poloniex.
