Osmosis ranks #91 of 508 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #544: 453 of the 543 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 549 non-native assets CoinSpectrum lists above it by market cap, about 59% are tokens, 33% are claims on other assets and 8% are memecoins.

| Fundraising | 8.7 | Sold by its issuer or insiders: 12.6% of supply was theirs to sell, 0.9% sold so far. The Osmosis Foundation sold $21M of OSMO from its treasury in Oct 2021 (Paradigm-led); units undisclosed, estimated 4.2M-10.5M OSMO at $2-5. 4.2M-10.5M / 793,315,669 OSMO (bank module, 2026-10-23) = 0.5-1.3%, midpoint 0.9%.

| Developer share (after launch) | 7.8 | Developer share: about 21.9% of today's supply received so far; 92% of each new block reward goes to them today. Osmosis mint params (2026-10-24) split each daily emission into staking 8%, pool incentives 0%, developer rewards 25% (paid from the pre-minted 225M developer-vesting module to multisig osmo1f3w7…) and community pool 67%, so 92% goes to non-validators. Developer rewards released since June 2021 = 225M − 51.58M left = 173.4M OSMO = 21.9% of 793.4M supply. Community-pool inflows come on top (the pool holds 119.1M OSMO now) but their cumulative total was not reconstructed, so 21.9 is a lower bound. source |

Seventeen criteria, weighted equally. The Cryptocurrency Standards group four parts: properties (ten checks drawn from the Bitcoin whitepaper), scalability (four measures), security (nine checks) and decentralisation (three scales).

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.
Osmosis is #91 among cryptocurrencies and #544 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 453 places between Osmosis'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).
