Circulating supply

An estimate of the asset units available to the market under a data provider's methodology.

PLAIN-ENGLISH DEFINITION

In more detail

Circulating supply tries to distinguish available units from allocations treated as locked or otherwise restricted. Providers can draw that boundary differently, including how they handle treasury holdings. This helps explain why two dashboards may show different figures for the same token without either using its stated maximum supply.

IN THE WILD

How you might use it

"These two dashboards disagree." One counts a treasury allocation as circulating, while the other treats it as locked.
