  To calculate the market capitalization of a cryptocurrency, Coingecko takes into account the current price of the cryptocurrency and the total supply of coins or tokens. The total supply refers to the maximum number of coins or tokens that will ever be created for that particular cryptocurrency. By multiplying the current price by the total supply, Coingecko determines the market capitalization, which represents the total value of all the coins or tokens in existence.
