XDC Network (XDC)
XDC Network ranks #33 of 484 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #91: 58 of the 90 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 78 non-native assets CoinSpectrum lists above it by market cap, about 55% are claims on other assets, 38% are tokens, 5% are memecoins and 1% are NFT collections.

CoinSpectrum Grade (Source)
A — 68 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 65 to 71 (A to A).
| 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 |
| Supply | 6.3 | the supply scale times 0.9, and a point for a fixed cap that holds |
| Supply (21 million scores 10) | 7 | no fixed maximum; 19.9 billion in circulation |
| Distribution | 6.2 | average of 3 parts |
| Holder concentration (Source) | – | Not yet measured |
| Active addresses | – | Not yet measured |
| Premine (allocated at launch) | 0.2 | 98.5% of today's supply allocated at launch to founders, a company, a foundation or investors. About 37.5B XDC were pre-mined into the genesis wallet at mainnet launch (Founders/Team 15B, Ecosystem 10B, Pre-Placement 10B, Contingency 2.5B), against a total supply of about 38.07B (altFINS, 31 Aug 2026). source |
| Fundraising (share sold) (Source) | 8.4 | Sold by its issuer or insiders: 16.4% of supply sold. Range 6.6-26.3%, midpoint given. XinFin raised ~$15M (private sale plus the Feb-Mar 2018 XDCE public sale at 133,000 XDCE/ETH with up to 30% bonus), but units sold were never published. At ~$0.006/XDCE that is at least ~2.5B XDC (6.6% of ~38.07B, altFINS, 31 Aug 2026); the ceiling is the whole 10B 'pre-placement' bucket for early investors and exchanges (26.3%). Per the XDC MiCA white paper, a private token sale funded development, and in 2018 a public sale through the XDCE ERC-20 proxy token (Feb-Mar 2018) followed; XinFin reported raising about $15M in total, with investors undisclosed. source |
| Developer share (after launch) | 10 | Developer share: about 0.15% of today's supply received so far; 10% of each new block reward goes to them today. Each 900-block epoch mints 5,000 XDC: 10% (500 XDC) to the XDC Foundation wallet and 90% to masternodes, standby nodes and their voters, since the June 2019 mainnet. Supply has grown from ~37.5B at genesis to ~38.07B, so ~0.57B issued × 10% ≈ 57M XDC ≈ 0.15%. source |
| Decentralisation | 5.2 | average of 4 parts |
| Governance (Source) | 10 | No authority can halt the chain or freeze funds: No freeze or blacklist power located; the Dec 2025 stoppage was an outage, not a deliberate halt. source |

| Pool diversity (Largest pool 50% 0 to 20% 10, largest three 90% 0 to 50% 10; 2 points) | 10 | largest 0.93%, largest three 2.78% |
| Network activity (Transactions a day, 250 0, 500,000 or more 10; 2 points) | 10 | about 1,240,000 transactions a day |

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) | 98.5% of today's supply |
|---|---|
| Sold by the issuer or insiders | 16.4% of today's supply |
| Developer share received since launch | 0.15% of today's supply |
| Developer share of new coins today | 10% |
| Nodes or validators | 108 |
| Fundraising | Private or venture funding |
About 37.5B XDC were pre-mined into the genesis wallet at mainnet launch (Founders/Team 15B, Ecosystem 10B, Pre-Placement 10B, Contingency 2.5B), against a total supply of about 38.07B (altFINS, 31 Aug 2026).
Per the XDC MiCA white paper, a private token sale funded development, and in 2018 a public sale through the XDCE ERC-20 proxy token (Feb-Mar 2018) followed; XinFin reported raising about $15M in total, with investors undisclosed.
Range 6.6-26.3%, midpoint given. XinFin raised ~$15M (private sale plus the Feb-Mar 2018 XDCE public sale at 133,000 XDCE/ETH with up to 30% bonus), but units sold were never published. At ~$0.006/XDCE that is at least ~2.5B XDC (6.6% of ~38.07B, altFINS, 31 Aug 2026); the ceiling is the whole 10B 'pre-placement' bucket for early investors and exchanges (26.3%).
Each 900-block epoch mints 5,000 XDC: 10% (500 XDC) to the XDC Foundation wallet and 90% to masternodes, standby nodes and their voters, since the June 2019 mainnet. Supply has grown from ~37.5B at genesis to ~38.07B, so ~0.57B issued × 10% ≈ 57M XDC ≈ 0.15%.

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 XDC Network
XDC Network is #33 among cryptocurrencies and #91 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 58 places between XDC Network'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).
