Axiome ranks #239 of 504 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #1923: 1684 of the 1922 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 2165 non-native assets CoinSpectrum lists above it by market cap, about 78% are tokens, 18% are claims on other assets and 4% are memecoins.

Grade pending. Axiome'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.

| Multisig and time locks | ✓ | Cosmos SDK multisig accounts, and CosmWasm contracts that can check block time. |
| Atomic swaps with other chains | ✓ | CosmWasm contracts can express hash-locked, time-locked escrow. |
| An exchange built into the protocol | ✗ | Axiome Swap sends liquidity to a pool smart contract, so the DEX is a contract, not a module. |
| Cross-chain messaging the chain verifies itself | ✗ | ibc-go is only an indirect dependency of axm-node and the chain has no channels in the Cosmos chain registry, so IBC does not appear to be wired in; medium confidence. |
| Non-fungible tokens | ✓ | CW-721 NFT contracts can run on its CosmWasm. |

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.
956,736,023 of a maximum 1,000,000,000 AXM are in circulation — 95.7% of the total that will ever exist.
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.
Axiome is #239 among cryptocurrencies and #1923 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 1684 places between Axiome'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).
