Arithmetic on today's supply, not a forecast. It assumes nothing about whether Polkadot could attract that much money.
A coin's market capitalisation is its price multiplied by the number of coins in circulation. Polkadot has 1,707,207,669 DOT in circulation at $1.0150 each, which is $1.73B. Holding that supply still and putting Aster's $1.87B in its place gives $1.0966 per DOT.
The two are close in size, so the answer is a 1.08x move. Polkadot and Aster are within a factor of two of each other by market capitalisation.
Supply is held still, and in practice it moves: coins are minted, burned and unlocked, and every one of those changes the price a given market capitalisation implies. The figure also says nothing about whether the money exists to buy DOT at that level, which is the part that actually decides a price.
$1.0966 per DOT. That is Aster's current market capitalisation of $1.87B divided across the 1,707,207,669 DOT in circulation.
1.08x. Polkadot trades at $1.0150 today and Aster's market cap is $1.87B against Polkadot's $1.73B.
No. It is one division: Aster's market capitalisation spread over the supply of DOT that exists today. It assumes nothing about whether Polkadot could attract that much money, and it holds the supply still when in practice supply changes.
It sets it. Market cap is price times circulating supply, so the same $1.87B of market cap spread over more coins gives a lower price per coin. This uses the 1,707,207,669 DOT in circulation now.
