FDV stands for Fully diluted valuation, a cryptocurrency & blockchain abbreviation.
A token's price multiplied by its maximum or total eventual supply, including tokens not yet released, showing what the project would be worth if every token were circulating.
Example: The market cap looks modest, but the FDV is ten times higher because most tokens are still locked.
Usage notes
A large gap between market capitalization and FDV signals heavy future unlocks for investors and teams, which can weigh on prices; "low float, high FDV" launches drew criticism in 2024. For tokens without a maximum supply, it is calculated from the current total supply.
