Market capitalization is most often the main characteristic of the success of companies for those. However, valuing a company on the basis of this indicator alone is erroneous. Many executives resort to tricks, such as taking on large loan commitments, to increase capitalization. This helps them to attract new funds in the stock markets, but this does not guarantee the success of their further development.

Individually, the market capitalization of a stock, company, or stock market may increase in line with investors' expectations or fears. An example here is the dot-com bubble, where many companies showed huge capitalization, but at the same time did not make a profit. Some experts believe that a similar situation is developing in the crypto industry today.
