Verona ranks #138 of 484 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #891: 753 of the 890 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 1149 non-native assets CoinSpectrum lists above it by market cap, about 58% are tokens, 32% are claims on other assets, 9% are memecoins and 1% are NFT collections.

A — 65 out of 100, provisional (from 10 of 10 sections, 10 November 2026 build). With what is not yet measured anywhere from nothing to full marks, the score would be 60 to 72 (B to A).

| Premine (allocated at launch) | 0.6 | 94.1% of today's supply allocated at launch to founders, a company, a foundation or investors. Verona is the renamed XION (Burnt). The 200M genesis supply was allocated in full: strategic backers 26.81%, ecosystem incentives 23%, team 20%, community and launch 15.19%, protocol and foundation 15%. Current on-chain supply is 212,461,711 XION (bank supply of uxion, 2026-10-23); the difference is staking inflation. source |
| Fundraising (share sold) (Source) | 7.5 | Sold by its issuer or insiders: 25.2% of supply sold. Burnt/XION reportedly raised about $36M: $3M pre-seed (2021), $8M seed (2022), an undisclosed strategic round (2023), and a $25M Series A (April 2024) with Animoca Brands, Multicoin, Laser Digital, Arrington, Draper Dragon, Sfermion and GoldenTree. Strategic backers hold 26.81% (53.62M). source |
| Developer share (after launch) | 10 | Developer share: about 0.12% of today's supply received so far; 2% of each new block reward goes to them today. The Cosmos SDK community tax sends 2% of block rewards (inflation plus fees) to the community pool (on-chain parameter, xion-mainnet-1). Supply is 212.47M against 200M at genesis, so ~12.5M has been minted, and 2% of that is ~0.25M, about 0.12% of supply. 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.

Verona is the renamed XION (Burnt). The 200M genesis supply was allocated in full: strategic backers 26.81%, ecosystem incentives 23%, team 20%, community and launch 15.19%, protocol and foundation 15%. Current on-chain supply is 212,461,711 XION (bank supply of uxion, 2026-10-23); the difference is staking inflation.
Burnt/XION reportedly raised about $36M: $3M pre-seed (2021), $8M seed (2022), an undisclosed strategic round (2023), and a $25M Series A (April 2024) with Animoca Brands, Multicoin, Laser Digital, Arrington, Draper Dragon, Sfermion and GoldenTree. Strategic backers hold 26.81% (53.62M).
The Cosmos SDK community tax sends 2% of block rewards (inflation plus fees) to the community pool (on-chain parameter, xion-mainnet-1). Supply is 212.47M against 200M at genesis, so ~12.5M has been minted, and 2% of that is ~0.25M, about 0.12% of supply.
The site has no label yet. Trackers quote 200M as both total and max supply, but on-chain supply is already 212.5M and inflation is active, so 'max 200M' is wrong. Burnt's own whitepaper gives a slightly different split (ecosystem 23%, team 20%, strategic backers 27%); the premine total is unaffected. The $36M total comes from one aggregator.

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.
Verona is #138 among cryptocurrencies and #891 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 753 places between Verona'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).
