Cypherium ranks #237 of 504 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #1894: 1657 of the 1893 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 2137 non-native assets CoinSpectrum lists above it by market cap, about 77% are tokens, 18% are claims on other assets and 5% are memecoins.

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.
382,951,230 of a maximum 8,428,000,000 CPH are in circulation — 4.5% of the total that will ever exist.

Mainnet genesis.json (chainId 16166) allocates 6,828,000,000 CPH to six addresses (2.5B, 1.848B, 1.008B, 0.672B, 0.6B, 0.2B); CoinMarketCap and MEXC list total supply at about 6.82-6.83B, so the genesis allocation is essentially all of current supply.

A 2018 TokenSoft crowdsale allocated 300M CPH (4.4% of the genesis supply), 20% released at mainnet and the rest over six months; private-round sizes and how much of the 300M sold were not found.
No published rule for how PoW key-block rewards are split; the node source does not document a developer or foundation share and the explorer does not expose key blocks.
The genesis file shows a near-total premine: 6.828B CPH in six addresses against ~6.83B total supply. Transaction blocks are all led by a single address, and activity is minimal. Tokenomics posts on Medium could not be read (Cloudflare), so the purpose of each genesis address is unknown.

No source we can reach publishes a hashrate for Cypherium.
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.
Cypherium is #237 among cryptocurrencies and #1894 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 1657 places between Cypherium'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).
