Reading Charts
An overview of the available charts found on the asset pages of assets listed on Messari
Messari offers charts that cover multiple categories for each asset. These categories help you understand the trending value of an asset on multiple different levels. You can quickly jump to different categories by using the navigation on the left side of the charts view.
From the charts view, you can navigate to any specific chart to see the chart and data in more detail.
The available categories for each chart include:
Pricing Chart
Market charts cover data related to the pricing, volume, and market cap of an asset.
Circulating Marketcap - The circulating marketcap is the price of the asset multiplied by the circulating supply. If no price is found for an asset because no trades occurred, the last price of the last trade is used. After 30 days with no trades, a marketcap of 0 is reported until trading resumes.",
Supply charts cover data related to the circulating supply, issuance, activity, and distribution of an asset.
Circulating Supply - The circulating supply acknowledges that tokens may be held by projects/foundations which have no intent to sell down their positions, but which have not locked up supply in a formal contract. Thus, circulating supply does not include known project treasury holdings (which can be significant). Note that an investor must carefully consider both liquid and circulating supplies when evaluating an asset, and the two can vary significantly. A risk of depending entirely on circulating supply is that the number can change dramatically based on discretionary sales from project treasuries.
