Ben Celermajer, index manager at Coin Metrics, talks about a new metric Coin Metrics introduced this week, called free float supply. In this episode, he explains:

  • what problems in general Coin Metrics is trying to resolve with its various new metrics when it comes to blockchain-based tokens
  • what other new metrics it has introduced
  • what free float supply is
  • what types of tokens and token holders it excludes from the free float
  • how market caps change for some of the biggest coins when compared to the traditionally reported supply
  • how using free float changes other valuation methods such as NVT and MVRV
  • what other products Coin Metrics plans to build on these metrics
