Arithmetic on today's supply, not a forecast. It assumes nothing about whether Hedera could attract that much money.
A coin's market capitalisation is its price multiplied by the number of coins in circulation. Hedera has 43,623,190,080 HBAR in circulation at $0.07555 each, which is $3.3B. Holding that supply still and putting Cardano's $7.62B in its place gives $0.1746589 per HBAR.
A 2.31x move is modest, and a coin this far down the table reaching the one above it is the ordinary shape of a cycle, not an outlier.
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 HBAR at that level, which is the part that actually decides a price.
$0.1746589 per HBAR. That is Cardano's current market capitalisation of $7.62B divided across the 43,623,190,080 HBAR in circulation.
2.31x. Hedera trades at $0.07555 today and Cardano's market cap is $7.62B against Hedera's $3.3B.
No. It is one division: Cardano's market capitalisation spread over the supply of HBAR that exists today. It assumes nothing about whether Hedera 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 $7.62B of market cap spread over more coins gives a lower price per coin. This uses the 43,623,190,080 HBAR in circulation now.
