Radiant ranks #258 of 504 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #2331: 2073 of the 2330 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 2594 non-native assets CoinSpectrum lists above it by market cap, about 79% are tokens, 17% are claims on other assets and 4% are memecoins.

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.

Genesis 2022-06-20 ('The New York Times 12/May/2022 The Milky Way's Black Hole Comes to Light'); 50,000 RXD per block to miners from block 1 with no allocation, presale or dev fund. Supply 16.45B at height 476,077 matches the schedule exactly (210,000 x 50,000 + 210,000 x 25,000 + 56,077 x 12,500).
Fair launch by anonymous developers in June 2022; no ICO or presale.
No sale or investor round.
GetBlockSubsidy in Radiant Core pays 50,000 RXD halving every 210,000 blocks entirely to the miner; no developer or treasury output.
The June 2026 split was a natural orphan race made persistent by node defaults, not a documented hostile attack; it is listed because it was a reorganisation deeper than six blocks. Radiant Core 3.1.2 raised the auto-finalization depth from 6 to 69 blocks.

Radiant is secured by 170 TH/s of its own work. Hashrate does not compare across algorithms — a SHA-256 hash and a Scrypt hash cost different amounts to produce.
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.
Radiant is #258 among cryptocurrencies and #2331 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 2073 places between Radiant'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).
