Recently, while checking the market on the exchange, I noticed that many beginners don't quite understand those numerical units.


So I’ve organized some common counting methods to help everyone avoid confusion when viewing market data.

Starting with the basics. What is 1K? It’s 1k, which should be easy to understand.
Then moving up, 1M represents 1 million, equivalent to 1k of 1K.
Further up is 1E, which is 100 million—already a sizable number.
1B is 1 billion, and a step higher is 1T, which is a trillion—this scale usually only appears when discussing the entire market or large projects.

Actually, this counting system is universal in exchanges, market software, and various financial data, so mastering these units will greatly help in reading charts.
Especially when looking at trading volume, market cap, or on-chain data—if you don’t understand what 1K equals, it’s easy to misinterpret the numbers, leading to incorrect judgments.

Next time you see these units, just apply them directly.
The more you see them, the more familiar you’ll become—no need to memorize them by rote.
