Pkoin (PKOIN)
Pkoin ranks #202 of 484 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #1607: 1405 of the 1606 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 1889 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. Fewer than six of Pkoin's nine network-security points are measured yet. A grade is not given until it is, so that a coin is never rated higher for what is not yet known.
| Section and criteria | Score | Basis |

| Consensus | 9.1 | average of 2 criteria |
| By leader (its largest chain's market cap) (Source) | 9.1 | Proof of stake: 9.1 of 10 on the ladder of consensus families ranked by their largest chain's market cap |
| By family (all its chains' market cap) (Source) | 9.1 | Proof of stake: 9.1 of 10 on the ladder of families ranked by the combined market cap of their chains |

| Active addresses | – | Not yet measured |
| Premine (allocated at launch) | 10 | 0.4% of today's supply allocated at launch to founders, a company, a foundation or investors. Per pocketnet.core source, the first 1,020 blocks (Jan 2019) were PoW at 50 PKOIN each, a documented instamine of ~51,000 PKOIN before the switch to PoS (5 PKOIN/block, halving every 2.1M blocks, partly paid as content 'rating rewards'). 51K / ~13.9M current = 0.4%. No genesis allocation is visible in chainparams (genesis reward 50). source |
| Fundraising (share sold) (Source) | – | Launch not yet researched |
| Developer share (after launch) | 10 | No developer share: every new coin goes to the miners or validators who produce blocks. No cut. PoS block rewards go to the staker and, via the content 'lottery', to authors of rated posts/comments and their referrers (users), not to developers or a treasury. source |

| Conduct (origin, claims, halts) | — | Not yet reviewed |
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
| Premine (allocated at launch) | 0.4% of today's supply |
|---|---|
| Developer share received since launch | 0% of today's supply |
| Developer share of new coins today | 0% |
Per pocketnet.core source, the first 1,020 blocks (Jan 2019) were PoW at 50 PKOIN each, a documented instamine of ~51,000 PKOIN before the switch to PoS (5 PKOIN/block, halving every 2.1M blocks, partly paid as content 'rating rewards'). 51K / ~13.9M current = 0.4%. No genesis allocation is visible in chainparams (genesis reward 50).
No sale documented in sources found.
No cut. PoS block rewards go to the staker and, via the content 'lottery', to authors of rated posts/comments and their referrers (users), not to developers or a treasury.
Since PoS began when only the ~51K instamined coins existed, early staking rewards necessarily went to whoever held the instamine (presumably the developers). The brief doesn't count this, but it is a real concentration. Code read from the master branch, which may not be the current release branch.

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 Pkoin
Pkoin is #202 among cryptocurrencies and #1607 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 1405 places between Pkoin'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).
