Market Cap is one abstractions which is misused so many times. One coin with larger total number of coins in circulation with same price will have a higher place in list. For investors this is irelevant, and probably wrong if your desissions are based on this. It is more important what is project stands for, and for what purpose will be used, numbers are more interesting for economist to calculate inflation. Capitalisation is not real is an presumption about total value.
Yeah, I wouldn't worry so much about the marketcap of a coin because those numbers are usually not what they say they are. Though it is kind of interesting to have a general calculation on how the marketcap of a coin is made -it's cool to see that the people that built an Altcoin is not as rich as they seem.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I kept on hearing from people about how the scope of investing in mid and small cap coins were better than large caps and that they had better chances of growth in the future as their market cap would increase with time as they get more exposure. All I needed was a ballpark estimate, which i have got now. I would be considering Large cap as coins which are having more than 500Million circulation, Medium cap as coins having 100 to 500 Million and Small Cap coins which are under 100 Million value in circulation. Cheers!
I would like to know that what kind of criteria is set, or I should check when distinguishing market caps of coins.
How much USD/BTC volume does Small Market Cap coins, Medium Market Cap Coins and Large Market Cap coins have?
Small Market Coins <
Medium Market Coins between

There is not a clear distinction to make in that way, for the simple reason the market caps are always moving, but in my opinion I separate coins in those that have a billion dollar in the cap, those that have between less than a billion and more than 100 million and the rest.

About large market cap it would be more than $2 billion according me because the people who are replying are saying $30 billion plus and for now there is only bitcoin in that range which makes no sense.
For a medium it would be all coins from 500 million to 2 billion and everything below 700 million would be low market cap.
For a medium it would be all coins from 500 million to 2 billion and everything below 700 million would be low market cap.
If I had to think about it conceptually, I would ballpark that > $30 billion is large cap. Maybe over 5 billion is medium cap. But actually, I don't see why you cannot apply the same thresholds used in the stock market.
go to CoinMarketcap and manage in terms of positions

Top20-50
Bc the overall MK may raise or dump based on the BTC value

You obviously don't know how the Markets work...
Pansun managed to buy at $1 to Pajeet, it means that lots lots lots of people bought cheaper before, that lots lots lots lots lots of previous transactions were below this mark.
Because you only buy at the lowest price on the Market.

I don't know what actually you trying ask. Well, market cap is estimated value of money invested in particular cryptocurrency (not real money but estimated). It is simply calculated by multiplying total number of units and current price of coin. For example,
market cap of Bitcoin= No. of bitcoin in circulation * Current Price
If you need any other info, reply.
To consider a coin falls under a specific market cap, what are the parameters?
Large Cap coins have market cap above how much estimated USD invested in them?
Medium Cap coins have market cap between much estimated USD invested in them?
Small Cap coin have less than how much estimated USD invested in them?
Thanks!
Small/Medium/Large Caps as mentioned by you are terms related to stock market and mutual funds.
There is no direct significance in cryptocurrency world. You can't say any coin has small market cap as related to other since market cap is just estimated parameter. It is directly related to number of coins.
So if coin A has 1B units and $2 price whereas coin B has 10M units and $100 price, we can't say coin A is better than B just because its cap is larger.
There is no certain measure defining small or medium or large in case of cryptocurrencies.
