Every time you enter a crypto chat or see market analysis, these magic letters appear: 1K, 1M, 1B, 1T… and you’re like “what does this mean in Spanish?”
Calm down, it's easier than it seems:
Abbreviation
Means
Example
1K
1,000 (mil)
A cap of 50K = 50,000
1M
1,000,000 (one million)
Bitcoin daily volume 500M USDT
1B
1,000,000,000 (billion)
Company valued at 2B
1T
1,000,000,000,000 (billion)
Total crypto market cap around 1T
Pro tip: The rule is simple: each jump adds three zeros
K = thousand (3 zeros)
M = one million (6 zeros)
B = one billion (9 zeros)
T = trillion (12 zeros)
Now when you see “The altcoin rose 200K in volume”, you already know it's 200,000. And when they say “that token has 5B tokens in circulation”, it's 5 billion.
