Uchain ranks #161 of 504 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #1123: 962 of the 1122 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 1349 non-native assets CoinSpectrum lists above it by market cap, about 71% are tokens, 21% are claims on other assets and 7% are memecoins.

Grade pending. Uchain'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.
50,000 of a maximum 100,000 UCN are in circulation — 50.0% of the total that will ever exist.
Not established. Trackers list a fixed 100,000 UCN supply, half circulating and half 'locked in staking'. Secondary profiles describe a TRON-style DPoS chain (27 Super Representatives, about 3s blocks, halving every 10M blocks) but also say contract ownership was renounced. No whitepaper, genesis file or explorer data was reachable to show how the 100,000 were issued.
Nothing established. A 2018-era 'UChain' ERC-20 on Etherscan (about 823.6M max) appears to be a different or legacy project.
Not established. Trackers list a fixed 100,000 UCN supply, while secondary profiles mention block rewards halving every 10M blocks. No whitepaper, chain parameters or explorer data could be found showing who receives new issuance.
The site has no label yet. Sources contradict each other: a fixed 100k supply fits neither 'halving every 10M blocks' nor DPoS rewards. Even whether UCN is a native coin or a token is unconfirmed. Leave ungraded.

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.
Uchain is #161 among cryptocurrencies and #1123 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 962 places between Uchain'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).
