Each YAP is made up of a selection of cryptocurrencies, grouped together and weighted by market capitalization (market cap). The market cap of a cryptocurrency is calculated by multiplying the number of units of a specific coin by its current market value against the US dollar. When a cryptocurrency goes up in value, its market cap will increase and therefore the value of the YAP will rise, and conversely, when cryptocurrency prices fall against the US dollar, the value of the YAP will fall.
