Liquidity-controlled comparison

Highest observed risk among liquid tracked assets

This table excludes assets below $1 million in 24-hour volume, then sorts by risk and volatility. It is a screening list, not a ranking of investment quality.

Sources and methodology

How to reproduce and interpret this snapshot

  1. Start with TokenRadar's tracked CoinGecko-backed market registry.
  2. Include only assets with a completed TokenRadar metric record.
  3. Calculate the Risk Index as the simple average risk score multiplied by 10.
  4. Assign scores 1–3 to lower, 4–6 to moderate, and 7–10 to higher observed risk buckets.
  5. Calculate category averages equally by asset; do not market-cap weight them.

Limitations: category membership can overlap, market data changes continuously, volume does not guarantee executable liquidity, and the score does not measure every smart-contract, governance, legal, or counterparty risk. Review the full scoring methodology and the CoinGecko data source.
