What Is the Difference between Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV) and Market Capitalization?

Market capitalization is calculated using the current circulating supply. FDV is calculated using the maximum possible supply of the token (Max Supply Price).

FDV represents the project's valuation if all tokens, including unreleased vested tokens and future emissions, were in circulation. Investors use FDV to assess the potential long-term dilution risk.
