The DVM should support price requests for the relative market capitalization indices of these top 9 cryptocurrencies (according to CoinGecko). These indices are commonly known as “dominance” indices. Compared to other typical UMIP price identifiers, these indices are unit-less since they are simply a percentage represented as a whole number.

# SUMMARY
The DVM should support price requests for the relative market capitalization indices of these top 9 cryptocurrencies (according to CoinGecko). These indices are commonly known as *"dominance"* indices. Compared to other typical UMIP price identifiers, these indices are *unit-less* since they are simply a percentage represented as a whole number.
Each price identifier for a particular cryptocurrency's market share in general is calculated by taking,
* the total *circulating* supply of that cryptocurrency,
* multiplied by the current price of the token in USD,
* divided by the global market cap of all cryptocurrencies.
The price identifiers are constructed using the following formulations below.
