⚖️ Small Cap vs Large Cap: What are the differences?
In crypto, not all coins have the same size or the same risk.
A common way to differentiate them is by their market capitalization.
🔹 Large Cap
Examples: Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), BNB
Characteristics:
Higher capitalization and liquidity
More stable price movements
Lower relative risk
More used for long-term holding
👉 Increases tend to be slower, but decreases are also usually less abrupt.
🔸 Small Cap
Examples: MAGIC, WIF, BONK
Characteristics:
Lower capitalization and liquidity
High volatility
Higher risk
More used for short-term trading
👉 Can rise a lot in a short time, but can also fall hard.
📊 Key difference in practice
A large cap can move 2–5% in a day.
A small cap can move 20–50%… or more.
That's why the size of the project directly influences the risk.
🧠 Conclusion
Large cap: more stability, ideal for beginners and long-term.
Small cap: more risk and volatility, for experienced traders.
Many investors combine both to balance risk and opportunity.
