Oasis ranks #80 of 504 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #426: 346 of the 425 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 434 non-native assets CoinSpectrum lists above it by market cap, about 55% are tokens, 37% are claims on other assets and 8% are memecoins.

| Fundraising | 2.3 | Sold by its issuer or insiders: 77% of supply was theirs to sell, 23% sold so far. The 2018 private presale (~$45M, a16z-led) makes up the 23% backers allocation = 2.3B ROSE; the Nov 2020 CoinList ROSE Garden was a lockdrop (stablecoins returned), not a sale. 2.3B / 10,000,000,000 ROSE total (CoinGecko, 2026-10-24) = 23.0%. $45M private token presale (July 2018) led by a16z with Polychain, Accel, Pantera, Binance Labs and others.

Twenty criteria, weighted equally. The Cryptocurrency Standards have six sections: sound money qualities (six checks: scarcity, durability, fungibility, divisibility, portability, verifiability), privacy (five checks), scalability (four measures and three features), security (miner pay and seven checks), programmability (token issuance, smart contracts and five checks) and decentralisation (censorship resistance, no central team, who can mint, nodes, holders, premine, fundraising and developer share). 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.
8,123,401,712 of a maximum 10,000,000,000 ROSE are in circulation — 81.2% of the total that will ever exist.

All 10B ROSE were created at genesis (November 2020). The about 2.3B staking-rewards pool, paid out by protocol to open stakers, is excluded, leaving about 7.7B allocated to backers, core contributors, foundation, community/ecosystem and partners, against the 10B total supply (Oasis docs; CoinGecko 2026-10-23).

The 2018 private presale (~$45M, a16z-led) makes up the 23% backers allocation = 2.3B ROSE; the Nov 2020 CoinList ROSE Garden was a lockdrop (stablecoins returned), not a sale. 2.3B / 10,000,000,000 ROSE total (CoinGecko, 2026-10-24) = 23.0%.
ROSE has a fixed 10B supply minted at genesis, and staking rewards are paid from a pre-allocated rewards pool, not new issuance. No issuance exists to cut.

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.
Oasis is #80 among cryptocurrencies and #426 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 346 places between Oasis'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).
