Arithmetic on today's supply, not a forecast. It assumes nothing about whether Chainlink could attract that much money.
A coin's market capitalisation is its price multiplied by the number of coins in circulation. Chainlink has 747,918,204 LINK in circulation at $11.4960 each, which is $8.6B. Holding that supply still and putting BNB's $96.71B in its place gives $129.3044 per LINK.
Chainlink would have to take on $88.11B of new money to get there. A 11.2x move is large: it happens, and it usually needs the whole market to grow instead of one coin to take share from another.
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 LINK at that level, which is the part that actually decides a price.
$129.3044 per LINK. That is BNB's current market capitalisation of $96.71B divided across the 747,918,204 LINK in circulation.
11.2x. Chainlink trades at $11.4960 today and BNB's market cap is $96.71B against Chainlink's $8.6B.
No. It is one division: BNB's market capitalisation spread over the supply of LINK that exists today. It assumes nothing about whether Chainlink 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 $96.71B of market cap spread over more coins gives a lower price per coin. This uses the 747,918,204 LINK in circulation now.
