16,949,703 of a maximum 21,000,000 ZEC have been issued, 80.7% of the total that will ever exist.
Zcash is secured by 29 GH/s of its own work. Hashrate does not compare across algorithms — a SHA-256 hash and a Scrypt hash cost different amounts to produce.
No SEC/CFTC determination — unclassified.
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 Zcash sits at #7 here versus #9 elsewhere — the 2 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.
