Crypton (CRP)
Crypton ranks #217 of 484 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #1706: 1489 of the 1705 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 1985 non-native assets CoinSpectrum lists above it by market cap, about 61% are tokens, 33% are claims on other assets, 5% are memecoins and 1% are NFT collections.

CoinSpectrum Grade (Source)
Grade pending. Crypton'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.

Ten sections, weighted equally, each 0 to 10: consensus (the two ladders), supply (the supply scale and a fixed cap that holds), distribution (premine, fundraising, developer share, holders), decentralisation (governance, no central team, who can mint, nodes), security, scalability, privacy, programmability (what the scripting layer can do beyond the whitepaper's payment system), demand, and record (age, development, conduct). They are built from the criteria in the second table: privacy, scalability, security and decentralisation are the Cryptocurrency Standards among them, as follows: privacy (the whitepaper's three checks a base of 7 of 10, three extra features up to 3 more), scalability (four measures and three features), security (pool diversity, network activity, hashrate, clients and two checks) and decentralisation (governance, no central team, who can mint, nodes, holders, premine, fundraising and developer share); programmability (token issuance, smart contracts and five checks) follows them, and supply and demand are two: the supply, scored against 21 million, and demand, the average of seven measures of the market and the wallets. Provisional: parts 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.

Launch and allocation
Not established. Crypton is the currency of the Utopia P2P ecosystem (launched 18 November 2019 by the anonymous 1984 Group LP); the client and ledger are closed source and no genesis distribution, block explorer or launch allocation has been published, so a founders' allocation can neither be confirmed nor ruled out.
No ICO or token sale is documented (Coinranking states CRP entered circulation only through mining), but the closed project discloses nothing about its own funding.
Not established. Third-party profiles say Crypton was never sold in an ICO, but the 1984 Group's own holdings and any sales by it are undisclosed.
Not established. Utopia says new Cryptons are paid every 15 minutes as a 'collective reward' shared among users running mining bots, plus interest on balances; whether any share goes to the 1984 Group cannot be checked in closed-source software.
The site lists Crypton as proof-of-work (CryptoNight), but Utopia pays Crypton to users who keep 'mining bots' online (a reward for uptime and routing, distributed every 15 minutes), not for hashing; the classification may be wrong. Almost nothing can be verified because the software and ledger are closed.

The work behind it
No source we can reach publishes a hashrate for Crypton.
What a regulator has said
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.
How CoinSpectrum ranks Crypton
Crypton is #217 among cryptocurrencies and #1706 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 1489 places between Crypton'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).
