Bityuan ranks #130 of 504 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #966: 836 of the 965 assets ahead of it are not native coins but tokens or claims. A token is issued on a host blockchain rather than running its own; a claim stands for an asset already counted. Of the 985 non-native assets CoinSpectrum lists above it by market cap, about 66% are tokens, 25% are claims on other assets and 9% are memecoins.

Grade pending. Bityuan's launch — how much went to insiders, whether it was sold to investors — is still being researched. A grade is not given until it is, so that a coin is never rated higher for what is not yet known.

| Fundraising | — | Launch not yet researched |
| Developer share (after launch) | 7.8 | Developer share: about 21.9% of today's supply received so far; 37.5% of each new block reward goes to them today. Since the 17 May 2018 chain33 relaunch every block pays a development fund (fundKeyAddr, moved at block 4,320,000): 12 of 30 BTY per 15-second block until block 2,270,000 (June 2019), then 3 of 8 BTY per 5-second block (ForkChainParamV2). To height 48,018,601: 2,270,000 × 12 + 45,748,602 × 3 = 164.5M BTY = 21.9% of 749.7M (CoinGecko). The schedule's own total (300M + 434.1M issued = 734M) gives 22.4%. source |

| Token issuance (At protocol level) | 2 | Chain33 EVM executor live on mainnet (chain ID 2999, forks from height 19,900,000) for Solidity token contracts; the separate token executor needs an approver address to finish creation. |
| Smart contracts (General-purpose) | 2 | Chain33 EVM executor live from height 19,900,000 (chain ID 2999), alongside fixed executors. |
| Multisig and time locks (Without a third party) | ✓ | Native multisig executor (from height 1,600,000) and unfreeze executor for time-scheduled releases, plus EVM contracts. |
| Atomic swaps (With other chains) | ✓ | Native hashlock executor (enabled from genesis) and EVM HTLC contracts. |

Twenty criteria, weighted equally. The Cryptocurrency Standards have five sections: sound money (six qualities: scarcity, durability, fungibility, portability, divisibility, verifiability), scalability (four measures and three features), security (miner pay and seven checks), decentralisation (censorship resistance, no central team, who can mint, nodes, holders, premine, fundraising and developer share) and privacy (five checks); programmability (token issuance, smart contracts and five checks) follows them. Provisional: criteria marked — are not yet measured and are left out of the average. A rating of structure and market depth, not a price forecast or investment advice.

The site has no label yet. The roughly 170M dev-fund figure is derived from the documented per-block split and block times, not read from the chain. CoinMarketCap's 640M 'max supply' is contradicted by the 749.7M on CoinGecko.

No SEC/CFTC determination — unclassified.
The regulator's position, reported as stated, not CoinSpectrum's. Assets nobody has ruled on are left unclassified rather than sorted by a guess.
Bityuan is #130 among cryptocurrencies and #966 in the market ranking, which lists wrapped coins, staked derivatives, stablecoins and tokens alongside them. CoinSpectrum counts an asset once, and counts only cryptocurrencies: assets with their own blockchain and their own consensus. A wrapped coin, a staked derivative or a stablecoin is a claim on something already counted; a token, memecoin or otherwise, runs on another chain's blocks. All of them are listed, each in its own section, and none is added to the total. The 836 places between Bityuan's two ranks are held by claims and tokens, not by other networks. The methodology sets out the rule and the counting rule argues for it.
The price above is the median of the exchanges the site reads live, checked every minute and cross-checked against a market snapshot (how market data is gathered). The grade is scored on published criteria, each with its source (the method). The site is independent, nothing on it is a paid placement, and its statements are signed (about CoinSpectrum, the manifesto).
