Dollarcoin ranks #453 of 504 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #5496: 5043 of the 5495 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.

Grade pending. Dollarcoin's launch — how much went to insiders, whether it was sold to investors — is still being researched. A grade is not given until it is, so that a coin is never rated higher for what is not yet known.

| Fungibility (Interchangeability · 3 Unit of account) | ✓ | every unit identical and worth any other |
| Portability (Scalability · 2 Medium of exchange) | ✗ | about 18 transactions a second, 1.9 on the throughput scale (5 is the busiest networks' median demand) |
| Divisibility (Flexibility · 3 Unit of account) | ✓ | 8 decimal places, the smallest unit worth $6.5e-12 |
| Verifiability (Authenticity check · 1 Store of value · Whitepaper §8) | ✓ | node software open source; light clients verify from headers or proofs |

| Fast payments (Safe to accept within seconds · Whitepaper §11) | ✓ | The Bitcoin 0.8-era client has transaction replacement disabled and relays the first-seen spend; four-minute blocks alone would not qualify. |
| Pruned nodes (Old history dropped, every rule checked · Whitepaper §7) | ✗ | Dollarcoin source (last commit Sep 2016): no -prune option; the node keeps the full block history. |
| Light clients (Payments verified from headers · Whitepaper §8) | ✓ | Dollarcoin source (last commit Sep 2016): proof-of-work chain whose node serves BIP37 bloom-filtered merkleblock proofs, so an SPV client can check headers and Merkle proofs. |

| Premine (allocated at launch) | 9.3 | 7% of today's supply allocated at launch to founders, a company, a foundation or investors. Block 1 paid 638,298 DLC (GetBlockValue: nHeight == 1), which the ANN describes as a premine of about 6% 'for development and bounty'; 638,298 / 9,106,714 total supply (CMC) = 7.0%. source |
| Fundraising | — | Launch not yet researched |
| Developer share (after launch) | 10 | No developer share: every new coin goes to the miners or validators who produce blocks. Block rewards (10 DLC halving every 500,000 blocks) go entirely to miners. source |
| Privacy | 4 | section average |
| Privacy (5 checks) | 4 | 2 of 5 passed source |
| Protocol level privacy (Keys not tied to an identity · Whitepaper §10) | ✓ | Dollarcoin's Bitcoin-derived node (dollarcoins/source) has no identity rule: anyone generates keys and receives and sends the coin. |
| UTXO ledger (A new key for each payment · Whitepaper §2, §9) | ✓ | |
| Network privacy (Origin hidden by default) | ✗ | Dollarcoin source (last commit Sep 2016): no Dandelion relay in the node; Tor is only an optional proxy setting (-tor/-onion) the user must configure. |
| Hidden amounts (Amounts confidential) | ✗ | Dollarcoin source (last commit Sep 2016): Bitcoin-style transparent outputs; no confidential amounts. |
| Hidden parties (Sender and receiver hidden) | ✗ | Dollarcoin source (last commit Sep 2016): Bitcoin-style transparent addresses; no ring signatures, zero-knowledge spends or stealth addresses. |
| Programmability (tokens, contracts, 5 checks) | 1.1 | 1 of 9 points source |
| Token issuance | 0 | No token issuance on the chain itself |
| Smart contracts (Scripting for spending conditions) | 1 | Dollarcoin source (last commit Sep 2016): Bitcoin-style Script (signatures, hashes, CHECKMULTISIG) limited to spending conditions; no contract platform. |
| Multisig and time locks (Without a third party) | ✗ | Dollarcoin source (last commit Sep 2016): CHECKMULTISIG is present, but the script interpreter has no OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY or OP_CHECKSEQUENCEVERIFY (the code base predates BIP65/BIP112), so no output can be time-locked. |
| Atomic swaps (With other chains) | ✗ | Dollarcoin source (last commit Sep 2016): without a lock-time opcode Script cannot express the refund branch of an HTLC, and no adaptor-signature swap exists for the coin. |
| Native exchange (Built into the protocol) | ✗ | Dollarcoin source (last commit Sep 2016): no order book or market maker in the ledger rules. |
| Cross-chain messaging (Verified by the chain itself) | ✗ | Dollarcoin source (last commit Sep 2016): no cross-chain message or light-client verification in the protocol. |
| NFTs (Carried by the chain's rules) | ✗ | Dollarcoin source (last commit Sep 2016): no token or NFT type in the consensus rules. |

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 source we can reach publishes a hashrate for Dollarcoin.
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.
Dollarcoin is #453 among cryptocurrencies and #5496 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 5043 places between Dollarcoin'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).
