Bitcicoin ranks #222 of 504 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #1738: 1516 of the 1737 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 1975 non-native assets CoinSpectrum lists above it by market cap, about 77% are tokens, 19% are claims on other assets and 5% are memecoins.

| Fungibility: every unit interchangeable, none the protocol can freeze or set apart | ✗ | an authority can freeze funds: Three proof-of-authority signers, presumably all operated by the issuing company, can censor transactions or stop the chain at will by design; it stalled twice for over 4 hours. |
| Divisibility: the smallest unit worth a cent or less | ✓ | 18 decimal places, the smallest unit worth $2.1e-22 |
| Portability: fees of a cent or less and capacity for real demand | ✗ | typical fee $0.00021; about 25 transactions a second (2.4 on the throughput scale; 5 is the busiest networks' median demand) |

| Privacy (5 checks) | 2 | 1 of 5 passed source |
| Whitepaper privacy: keys are not tied to an identity | ✓ | Accounts are derived from user-generated keys and the EVM checks only signatures and balances; no identity check is part of the chain's rules. |
| UTXO ledger: a new key for each payment, no account linking every coin | ✗ | |
| Network-level privacy: the node hides where a transaction came from (Dandelion++, Tor or I2P, on by default) | ✗ | Devp2p relays transactions directly from the sending node; no Dandelion-style relay or built-in Tor. |

| Features (3 checks) | 0 | 0 of 2 passed, 1 not yet researched |
| Payments safe to accept within seconds | ✗ | Geth Clique proof-of-authority with 15 s blocks and no finality gadget; the chain has no protected zero-confirmation mechanism. |
| Pruned nodes: a full node can validate and drop old history | ✗ | Geth 1.10.13 prunes state only; full nodes keep every block. |

| Token issuance at protocol level, validated by its own nodes | 2 | Solidity contracts on BitciChain, which runs stock go-ethereum v1.10.13 with no deploy allow list, so any account can deploy ERC-20s; on-chain activity is now very low. |
| Smart contracts: a general-purpose contract system | 2 | BitciChain runs go-ethereum v1.10.13 (chain ID 1907) with no deploy allow list; blocks produced in October 2026. |

Bitci Chain is a private proof-of-authority chain run by Bitci Technology (Çağdaş Holding, Turkey), so there's no open minting. The published allocation (marketing 10%, seed 5%, advisers and team 0.65%, development 1%, server 0.35%, private sale 4%, burn 79% of the 100B max) is entirely issuer-directed. source |
| Fundraising | 0 | Sold by its issuer or insiders: 100% of supply was theirs to sell, 43.1% sold so far. The published allocation lists seed 5% and private sale 4% of the 100B max = 9B BITCI. 9B / 20,872,348,887 total supply (BitDegree; Coinbase ~21B) = 43.1%. Prices, buyers and the amounts actually placed are not disclosed. Seed (5%) and private sale (4%) allocations of the 100B max are listed (Coinbase listing summary). Amounts raised and buyers are not disclosed. source |
| Developer share (after launch) | 10 | No developer share: every new coin goes to the miners or validators who produce blocks. Bitci Chain is a company-run proof-of-authority chain with a fully pre-allocated supply and no block subsidy. Every coin is already issuer-created and counted as premine, so there is no issuance to cut. source |

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.
7,708,828,412 of a maximum 100,000,000,000 BITCI are in circulation — 7.7% of the total that will ever exist.
| Premine (allocated at launch) | 100% of today's supply |
|---|---|
| Sold by the issuer or insiders | 43.1% of today's supply |
| Developer share received since launch | 0% of today's supply |
| Developer share of new coins today | 0% |

Bitci Chain is a private proof-of-authority chain run by Bitci Technology (Çağdaş Holding, Turkey), so there's no open minting. The published allocation (marketing 10%, seed 5%, advisers and team 0.65%, development 1%, server 0.35%, private sale 4%, burn 79% of the 100B max) is entirely issuer-directed.
Seed (5%) and private sale (4%) allocations of the 100B max are listed (Coinbase listing summary). Amounts raised and buyers are not disclosed.
The published allocation lists seed 5% and private sale 4% of the 100B max = 9B BITCI. 9B / 20,872,348,887 total supply (BitDegree; Coinbase ~21B) = 43.1%. Prices, buyers and the amounts actually placed are not disclosed.
Bitci Chain is a company-run proof-of-authority chain with a fully pre-allocated supply and no block subsidy. Every coin is already issuer-created and counted as premine, so there is no issuance to cut.
If the 9B seed and private allocations were fully sold, soldPct would be about 43% of the 20.87B total supply. That's unverified, so it is left empty. CoinGecko's total supply field (1e24) is clearly erroneous.

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.
Bitcicoin is #222 among cryptocurrencies and #1738 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 1516 places between Bitcicoin'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).
