Quebecoin ranks #387 of 504 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #5417: 5030 of the 5416 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. Quebecoin'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.

| Protocol level privacy (Keys not tied to an identity · Whitepaper §10) | ✓ | Quebecoin's Bitcoin-derived node (ahmedbodi/quebecoin) 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) | ✗ | Quebecoin (Bitcoin Core 0.15-era code, last commit Oct 2020): no Dandelion; Tor is only used if the operator runs and configures it. |

| Atomic swaps (With other chains) | ✓ | HTLCs built from Script hash locks (OP_SHA256/OP_HASH160) with a CLTV refund branch are standard Script, so cross-chain hash-locked swaps work on Quebecoin. |
| Native exchange (Built into the protocol) | ✗ | No exchange or order book in the Quebecoin consensus rules. |
| Cross-chain messaging (Verified by the chain itself) | ✗ | Quebecoin nodes verify no other chain; no protocol-level cross-chain messaging. |

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 QBC are in circulation, against no fixed cap — issuance has no defined end.
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.
Quebecoin is #387 among cryptocurrencies and #5417 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 5030 places between Quebecoin'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).
