WhiteCoin ranks #162 of 504 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #1142: 980 of the 1141 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 1365 non-native assets CoinSpectrum lists above it by market cap, about 72% are tokens, 21% are claims on other assets and 7% are memecoins.

Grade pending. WhiteCoin'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.

| Premine (allocated at launch) | 1.8 | 82.3% of today's supply allocated at launch to founders, a company, a foundation or investors. The new chain's genesis.json (2019-09-21) puts 800,000,000 XWC into a single initial balance, presumably for mapping old 2014 WhiteCoin holdings and the foundation reserve; the split is undocumented. Against the current total of ~971.79M, that is ~82.3%. The remaining ~172M came from block rewards toward the 1B max. source |
| Fundraising | — | Launch not yet researched |
| Developer share (after launch) | 9.5 | Developer share: about 5.3% of today's supply received so far; 30% of each new block reward goes to them today. In the 2019 Graphene-based chain, each block reward is split by pay_miner(): 50% to the producing miner and its pledgers, 20% to wallfacer (guard) committee members, and 30% to the develop-team contract (XWC_DEVELOP_TEAM_PAY_TATIO = 30). Block rewards have added ~171.8M (971.79M - 800M genesis), and 30% of that is ~51.5M XWC, 5.3% of supply. This assumes the current source matches the rules applied since launch. 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.

764,324,623 of a maximum 1,000,000,000 XWC are in circulation — 76.4% of the total that will ever exist.
| Premine (allocated at launch) | 82.3% of today's supply |

| Developer share received since launch | 5.3% of today's supply |
| Developer share of new coins today | 30% |
The new chain's genesis.json (2019-09-21) puts 800,000,000 XWC into a single initial balance, presumably for mapping old 2014 WhiteCoin holdings and the foundation reserve; the split is undocumented. Against the current total of ~971.79M, that is ~82.3%. The remaining ~172M came from block rewards toward the 1B max.
No sale or fundraising information was found for either the 2014 coin or the 2019 relaunch.
In the 2019 Graphene-based chain, each block reward is split by pay_miner(): 50% to the producing miner and its pledgers, 20% to wallfacer (guard) committee members, and 30% to the develop-team contract (XWC_DEVELOP_TEAM_PAY_TATIO = 30). Block rewards have added ~171.8M (971.79M - 800M genesis), and 30% of that is ~51.5M XWC, 5.3% of supply. This assumes the current source matches the rules applied since launch.
The genesis lump is a founder-controlled distribution. How much of the 800M went to pre-existing 2014 holders, and how that coin was itself launched, is not established.

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.
WhiteCoin is #162 among cryptocurrencies and #1142 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 980 places between WhiteCoin'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).
