XDC Network ranks #34 of 508 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #92: 58 of the 91 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 80 non-native assets CoinSpectrum lists above it by market cap, about 56% are claims on other assets, 39% are tokens and 5% are memecoins.

| Issuance | 3.5 | group average |
| Premine (allocated at launch) | 0.2 | 98.5% of today's supply allocated at launch to founders, a company, a foundation or investors. About 37.5B XDC were pre-mined into the genesis wallet at mainnet launch (Founders/Team 15B, Ecosystem 10B, Pre-Placement 10B, Contingency 2.5B), against a total supply of about 38.07B (altFINS, 31 Aug 2026). source |
| Fundraising | 0.2 | Sold by its issuer or insiders: 98.5% of supply was theirs to sell, 16.4% sold so far. Range 6.6-26.3%, midpoint given. XinFin raised ~$15M (private sale plus the Feb-Mar 2018 XDCE public sale at 133,000 XDCE/ETH with up to 30% bonus), but units sold were never published. At ~$0.006/XDCE that is at least ~2.5B XDC (6.6% of ~38.07B, altFINS, 31 Aug 2026); the ceiling is the whole 10B 'pre-placement' bucket for early investors and exchanges (26.3%). Per the XDC MiCA white paper, a private token sale funded development, and in 2018 a public sale through the XDCE ERC-20 proxy token (Feb-Mar 2018) followed; XinFin reported raising about $15M in total, with investors undisclosed. source |
| Developer share (after launch) | 10 | Developer share: about 0.15% of today's supply received so far; 10% of each new block reward goes to them today. Each 900-block epoch mints 5,000 XDC: 10% (500 XDC) to the XDC Foundation wallet and 90% to masternodes, standby nodes and their voters, since the June 2019 mainnet. Supply has grown from ~37.5B at genesis to ~38.07B, so ~0.57B issued × 10% ≈ 57M XDC ≈ 0.15%. 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). 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.

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.
XDC Network is #34 among cryptocurrencies and #92 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 58 places between XDC Network'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).
