Governance Coins

Governance tokens give holders a say in how a decentralized protocol or organization is run. Rather than decisions resting with a single company, these tokens let holders propose and vote on changes, such as adjustments to fees, treasury spending, software upgrades or other parameters, often through a decentralized autonomous organization. The shared trait across this category is this voting and decision-making function, which spans projects in decentralized finance, infrastructure, gaming and beyond. For readers, governance tokens are best understood by looking at what holders can actually influence, how much real power the votes carry, how widely the tokens are distributed, and how active the community is in practice. It is worth noting that governance rights do not always translate into direct cash flows, and that voting power can be concentrated among large holders, which affects how decentralized a project really is. A token's market capitalization indicates its relative scale, but the substance of its governance, what decisions it controls and how meaningfully holders participate, matters more for understanding its role and value within a project.

In cryptocurrency markets, a category groups together tokens and coins that share a common trait — the underlying technology they use, the blockchain ecosystem they are built on, the problem they aim to solve, or the way they are issued. The Governance grouping shown here reflects the classification published by CoinGecko, a widely used independent market-data provider. The table above lists every Governance asset in our database, ordered by market capitalization — the current price multiplied by the circulating supply — alongside the live price, the 24-hour change, a seven-day trend line, and 24-hour trading volume, a useful proxy for liquidity and market interest.
