PRIZM (PZM)
PRIZM ranks #164 of 484 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #1134: 970 of the 1133 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 1385 non-native assets CoinSpectrum lists above it by market cap, about 60% are tokens, 32% are claims on other assets, 7% are memecoins and 1% are NFT collections.

CoinSpectrum Grade (Source)
Grade pending. Fewer than six of PRIZM'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.

| Premine (allocated at launch) | 10 | 0.2% of today's supply allocated at launch to founders, a company, a foundation or investors. The genesis block (2017-02-17) premined 10M PZM. Against ~4.78B current supply, that is ~0.2%. All other supply is 'paramining' paid from the genesis wallet to holders. 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. New PZM comes from 'paramining' paid to holders (and their referral trees) and forging rewards are fees; no share of issuance goes to developers or a treasury by protocol rule. source |

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

|---|---|
| Developer share received since launch | 0% of today's supply |
| Developer share of new coins today | 0% |
The genesis block (2017-02-17) premined 10M PZM. Against ~4.78B current supply, that is ~0.2%. All other supply is 'paramining' paid from the genesis wallet to holders.
How the 10M premine was sold or distributed was not found.
No cut. New PZM comes from 'paramining' paid to holders (and their referral trees) and forging rewards are fees; no share of issuance goes to developers or a treasury by protocol rule.
Paramining is open to any holder but rewards referral trees (MLM-like). A critical review links the founder to MMM Global. Treating paramining as open emission gives a tiny premine; the distribution of the original 10M is unknown.

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 PRIZM
PRIZM is #164 among cryptocurrencies and #1134 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 970 places between PRIZM'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).
