InitVerse (INI)

InitVerse ranks #314 of 504 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #3738: 3424 of the 3737 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 4007 non-native assets CoinSpectrum lists above it by market cap, about 84% are tokens, 14% are claims on other assets and 2% are memecoins.

CoinSpectrum Grade (Source)

Grade pending. InitVerse'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.

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.

Supply

546,335,842 of a maximum 6,000,000,000 INI are in circulation — 9.1% of the total that will ever exist.

Launch and allocation

Premine (allocated at launch)0% of today's supply
Developer share received since launch0% of today's supply
Developer share of new coins today0%

The genesis block (30 Dec 2024) has the empty-trie state root (0x56e81f…b421), so no coins were allocated at genesis; supply comes from block rewards from block 1 (mining from January 2025). Project material mentions an official team mining address whose coins fund airdrops and campaigns, but its size is not published, so nothing is counted.

None documented. The team runs INI-denominated reward campaigns (e.g. a 500,000 INI anniversary budget in March 2025) from its own holdings.

No token sale or investor round is documented; not established.

Block headers carry teamRate and TeamAddress fields, but every block sampled from January 2025 to October 2026 shows teamRate 0 and a zero TeamAddress, so no protocol cut is paid.

A March 2025 project press release advertised 'guaranteed' and 'risk-free' staking returns and a 727.39 INI block reward at the time. Two addresses mined 95% of sampled blocks; whether either belongs to the team is not established.

The work behind it

No source we can reach publishes a hashrate for InitVerse.

What a regulator has said

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.

How CoinSpectrum ranks InitVerse

InitVerse is #314 among cryptocurrencies and #3738 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 3424 places between InitVerse'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).
