GlobalBoost ranks #367 of 504 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #5225: 4858 of the 5224 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.

No allocation in the code: GetBlockSubsidy pays 347 BSTY a block for the first 17,291 blocks (about 6.0M BSTY, roughly a quarter of today's 24.71M) and then 50 BSTY halving every 240,000 blocks, all to whoever mines. The chain launched publicly from a BitcoinTalk ANN on 8-9 September 2014 (genesis 2014-09-08); the predecessor BST thread stated 'Premine: 0%'. Who mined the high-reward early blocks is not documented.
None documented; the project is run by GlobalBoost (later GlobalBoost Media), a Washington, DC company led by Bruce Porter Jr.
No ICO, presale or token sale is documented.
No cut: the whole block subsidy goes to the miner (Bitcoin-style GetBlockSubsidy with no development fund output).
The chain is alive but one multipool, zpool.ca, mines about 95% of blocks. The 347-BSTY early reward produced about 6M BSTY in the first ~17,000 blocks; it is counted as open mining because no allocation is documented. Circulating supply on the site's input (0) is wrong: the explorer shows 24.71M.

No source we can reach publishes a hashrate for GlobalBoost.
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.
GlobalBoost is #367 among cryptocurrencies and #5225 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 4858 places between GlobalBoost'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).
