Ever noticed something odd about market cap rankings? Take SOL — supply creeps up, price slides down, yet the market cap barely budges.



Here's the thing: Market Cap = Supply × Price. Simple math, but easily gamed. When supply inflation offsets price drops, the ranking looks stable while the actual value proposition shifts underneath.

This supply-price dance isn't unique to one token. It's a fundamental mechanic worth understanding, especially when evaluating projects purely by their market cap position. The number tells one story; the components behind it often tell another.
SOL-6.7%

Damn, SOL is really playing the game—supply skyrockets, price drops, but the market cap barely budges. Isn’t this just digital magic tricks?

Let's take a look at the data. The SOL case is interesting... The supply increases, the price drops, but the market cap remains unchanged. What does this indicate? It shows that market cap itself is just a smokescreen—simply the product of two variables, and it's easily manipulated to cover up the real situation.

The supply of SOL quietly increased this time, but the price actually fell. The market cap didn’t really move at all—there’s definitely something going on here.

Sol's move this time is insane—the supply skyrocketed, the price dropped, but the market cap didn't move... Who taught this math?

I've seen through Sol's tricks a long time ago. The supply keeps surging, the price keeps dropping, but the market cap ranking just won’t budge. They really know how to play the game.

I saw through Sol's tricks a long time ago. As soon as the supply increases, the price drops, but the market cap pretends like nothing happened. It's really something else.
