BowsCoin ranks #415 of 504 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #5451: 5036 of the 5450 assets ahead of it are not native coins but tokens or claims. A token is issued on a host blockchain rather than running its own; a claim stands for an asset already counted.

Twenty criteria, weighted equally. The Cryptocurrency Standards have five sections: sound money (six qualities: scarcity, durability, fungibility, portability, divisibility, verifiability), scalability (four measures and three features), security (miner pay and seven checks), decentralisation (censorship resistance, no central team, who can mint, nodes, holders, premine, fundraising and developer share) and privacy (five checks); programmability (token issuance, smart contracts and five checks) follows them. Provisional: criteria marked — are not yet measured and are left out of the average. A rating of structure and market depth, not a price forecast or investment advice. How the grade is built · Highest-graded cryptocurrencies.
0 BSC are in circulation, against no fixed cap — issuance has no defined end.

The 2015 X11 chain paid 50 BSC in blocks 0-1 and nothing in blocks 2-59, then 50 BSC halving every 210,240 blocks (main.cpp): no meaningful premine. In 2019 the chain was retired and holders migrated 1:1 to a Stellar asset (859,415 BSC issued against coins burned to a burn address).
None.
No sale documented.
No dev share in the PoW code; the chain no longer issues coins (retired 2019).
No longer a proof-of-work coin: the X11 chain was retired in 2019 and BSC is now a Stellar asset with five holders. CoinMarketCap's 5.55M supply is stale. Checklist fields describe the Stellar asset.

No source we can reach publishes a hashrate for BowsCoin.
No SEC/CFTC determination — unclassified.
The regulator's position, reported as stated, not CoinSpectrum's. Assets nobody has ruled on are left unclassified rather than sorted by a guess.
BowsCoin is #415 among cryptocurrencies and #5451 in the market ranking, which lists wrapped coins, staked derivatives, stablecoins and tokens alongside them. CoinSpectrum counts an asset once, and counts only cryptocurrencies: assets with their own blockchain and their own consensus. A wrapped coin, a staked derivative or a stablecoin is a claim on something already counted; a token, memecoin or otherwise, runs on another chain's blocks. All of them are listed, each in its own section, and none is added to the total. The 5036 places between BowsCoin's two ranks are held by claims and tokens, not by other networks. The methodology sets out the rule and the counting rule argues for it.
The price above is the median of the exchanges the site reads live, checked every minute and cross-checked against a market snapshot (how market data is gathered). The grade is scored on published criteria, each with its source (the method). The site is independent, nothing on it is a paid placement, and its statements are signed (about CoinSpectrum, the manifesto).
