    a crypto market cap of $1.2 bil, and certainly not that much investment

    Does a market cap mean anything meaningful at all if that's the case?

      It means someone bought a share or ownership NFT or whatever in it at X maximum price. Since there are Y such shares available, the market cap is X * Y.

      Basically it's just the number you get if you turn 100% of the shares into cash.
