Hello,

I have a question, which I couldn't understand. What determines the price of an ALTCOIN?

for example:

ranked 4: Cardano price is 0.95 USD .... market cap: $30,158,999,828

while

ranked 5: Polkadot price is 25.14 USD .... market cap:  $24,025,000,997

on the other hand,

ranked 21: Avalanche price is 46 USD .... market cap: $3,610,321,000


What did I miss here ? why for example cardano is cheaper while avalanche or balancer coin has lower market cap but they are expensive than cardano and Polkadot ?

thank you in advance.



The market cap is price multiply by circulating supply.
While the price was determined by trader who buy or sell the coin. Its bassicly a demand and supply war which will determine the price.
The law of supply and demand will determine the price of altcoins, even though those altcoins are deliberately pumped out by many people but it will certainly return to the price it should have.
