1,307,215,569 NEAR are in circulation, against no fixed cap — issuance has no defined end.
Alleged an unregistered security by the SEC (2023 complaint); not named a commodity in 2026 and not adjudicated — status unsettled.
Reported as the regulator's position, not ours. Assets nobody has ruled on are left unclassified rather than sorted by our own guess.
An asset counts once. Wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins are claims on something already in the list, so they are listed separately rather than added to the total. That's why NEAR Protocol sits at #14 here versus #22 elsewhere — the 8 positions between them are claims we don't count as separate assets. The methodology sets out both rules, and the counting rule argues for them.
