CannabisCoin ranks #264 of 504 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #2408: 2144 of the 2407 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. Of the 2678 non-native assets CoinSpectrum lists above it by market cap, about 80% are tokens, 17% are claims on other assets and 4% are memecoins.

Grade pending. Fewer than six of CannabisCoin's nine network-security points are measured yet. A grade is not given until it is, so that a coin is never rated higher for what is not yet known.

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.
321,124,783 CANN are in circulation, against no fixed cap — issuance has no defined end.
| Premine (allocated at launch) | 1.6% of today's supply |
|---|---|
| Sold by the issuer or insiders | 0% of today's supply |
| Developer share received since launch | 0% of today's supply |
| Developer share of new coins today | 0% |
| Fundraising | No sale and no investor round |
Block 1 of the X11 chain minted 21,882,000 CANN (GetBlockValue). The developer said this covered a swap for Scrypt-era miners; after a partial burn, about 5M CANN traceable to genesis stayed in a developer wallet 'to fund development and bounties' (Cointelegraph, 27 Oct 2014). 5M / ~321M supply = ~1.6%; counting all of block 1 as insider would give ~6.8%.
None documented; the retained ~5M CANN was described as a development and bounty fund.
No ICO, presale or sale of the premine is documented.
GetBlockValue pays the whole subsidy (70 CANN after the fork, halving on a long interval) to the miner; there is no developer output in the code.
Launched 20 April 2014 as a Scrypt coin, then hard-forked to X11 (public ANN 23 June 2014). The old Scrypt chain was never published, so the swap amounts cannot be checked. clients is 0 because there has been no release in 24 months. The coin still has a quoted market price, but chain liveness could not be verified.

No source we can reach publishes a hashrate for CannabisCoin.
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.
CannabisCoin is #264 among cryptocurrencies and #2408 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 2144 places between CannabisCoin'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).
