The TikTok LIVE economy is a loop with four currencies. Viewers buy COINS with real money. They spend coins on GIFTS — a Rose costs 1 coin, a Galaxy 1,000, a TikTok Universe tens of thousands. When a gift lands in a live, the creator receives DIAMONDS, TikTok’s creator-side currency. Creators then redeem diamonds for DOLLARS — and TikTok keeps a share on the way out.
That platform share is why one diamond number becomes two dollar numbers in TikRadar. GROSS GIFTED VALUE is the full dollar value of everything sent to the creator — the top-line figure that measures audience generosity. RECEIVED-IN-CASH is the estimate of what actually reaches the creator’s pocket after TikTok’s cut — the number a talent manager needs to verify a payout claim.
TikRadar computes both from captured diamond totals, over any range you pick — a session, a day, a month, or the whole tracked history — bucketed in your timezone. The VIEW AS toggle on every live page flips the entire view between diamonds and money, so the same calendar that shows 1.2M diamonds on Tuesday also reads as dollars.
One scale anchor: creators we track run from casual rooms earning pocket money to operations moving 50M+ diamonds — hundreds of thousands of dollars — in a couple of months. The math holds at both ends because it runs on captured events, not on screenshots.
