PlatinumBAR (XPTX)
PlatinumBAR ranks #430 of 484 cryptocurrencies. On a list that also counts tokens, memecoins, wrapped coins, staked derivatives and stablecoins it appears at #5490: 5060 of the 5489 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.

CoinSpectrum Grade (Source)
Grade pending. No market cap or no daily volume is reported for PlatinumBAR by any source the site reads. A grade is not given until it is, so that a coin is never rated higher for what is not yet known.

| UTXO ledger (Separate outputs, change to a new address · Whitepaper §2, §9) | 10 | Coins are separate unspent outputs: a payment spends whole outputs and sends the change to a new address, so the coins in one wallet need not share a history. |

| Smart contracts (Scripting for spending conditions) | 1 | PlatinumBAR source copy (May 2016; original xptx/PlatinumBar repository gone): Bitcoin-style Script (signatures, hashes, CHECKMULTISIG) limited to spending conditions; no contract platform. |
| Multisig and time locks (Without a third party) | ✗ | PlatinumBAR source copy (May 2016; original xptx/PlatinumBar repository gone): CHECKMULTISIG is present, but the script interpreter has no OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY or OP_CHECKSEQUENCEVERIFY (the code base predates BIP65/BIP112), so no output can be time-locked. |
| Atomic swaps (With other chains) | ✗ | PlatinumBAR source copy (May 2016; original xptx/PlatinumBar repository gone): without a lock-time opcode Script cannot express the refund branch of an HTLC, and no adaptor-signature swap exists for the coin. |
| Native DEX (Trades the coin itself, not a claim) | ✗ | No DEX found trading the coin itself: none on its own chain (DefiLlama), and not on THORChain, Maya, Chainflip, Komodo DeFi, BasicSwap, Bisq or Haveno (checked 2026-11-04). |
| Cross-chain messaging (Verified by the chain itself) | ✗ | PlatinumBAR source copy (May 2016; original xptx/PlatinumBar repository gone): no cross-chain message or light-client verification in the protocol. |

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.

BitcoinTalk ANN (topic 1448143, 2016-04-23) lists a 10,000 XPTX block-1 premine for development and marketing, cut to 5,350 after 4,650 XPTX were burned in May 2016; 5,350 / ~2.16M total supply (CoinLore) = 0.25%.
No ICO; a small development/marketing premine.
No ICO or developer sale in the ANN.
ANN schedule: 0.01 XPTX per block for blocks 2-501, 5 per block to 18,000, then 0.001 per block; staking at 230% interest; no developer share.
The coin launched in April 2016 (ANN date); trackers say April 2017. It appears defunct.

The work behind it
No source we can reach publishes a hashrate for PlatinumBAR.
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 PlatinumBAR
PlatinumBAR is #430 among cryptocurrencies and #5490 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 5060 places between PlatinumBAR'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).
