And maybe to be a bit more concrete:

Look at the pic on the side.
The market cap is (very roughly) the invested money and the price per coin. E.g. 30,735,055,522$ for ETH.
The supply is how many coins are there, 95,156,149.
And the $ price for 1 ETH is just the former divided by the latter. Which happens to be $323.00.
The point being that if the developers had settled on a higher supply, then the price of ETH would be smaller. The per coin item is arbitrary. ETH is about one third the price of BTC.

The coin at market cap #10 is about 1/15 of BTC. So money from BTC moving to that coin can make it grow dramatically.
