Circulating supply matters to you?

[Oneandpure]

Its important about circulating supply about some token, not interested for investing in token or coin have much circulating supply and really need to know about the project have exact amount or circulating on the market. Some coins or token minting later about their supply due developer can manage well how to make the circulating supply added suddenly.

But not guarantee with all coins or token with small circulating supply will be up and the other side with coins have bigger supply will drop, many time with coins have bigger circulating supply drop drastically. Not only about circulating supply but also how developer trusted or not and can manage well about their project keep on higher price.

It is necessary to know how many coins early investors have and the timing of their unlock, as this can significantly affect the price of the coin. There is even such a trading strategy when you sell coins before unlocking investors' coins, and buy after unlocking when the Circulating Supply increases, which leads to a decrease in the price of the coin.

It all depends on how long the venture investors tokens will be blocked. For example, if tokens are blocked for 3 years, there is no point in buying after unblocking the venture investors tokens, because by that time the price will on the contrary increase, so investors can sell their coins in the overheated market. After their total sell-offs it may happen that everyone will forget about the coin and it will be extremely risky to buy after all the major investors have fixed their profits.

It doesn't matter to me unless the project has been out for years and the circulating supply is not increasing, this is when to be very suspicious about the project, a new project will have a small circulating supply at first, and as time goes by the circulating supply will increase.

What is the fair percentage of a total max supply that are in circulation that can make you invest in a project? It is fine to avoid a project that has low circulating supply? Why? What about if the project is a brand new project and the use case is killing it?

Before I decide to invest in a project, I always make sure I understand the token economy of a project. I don't just look at the circulating supply but also consider the maximum supply of the project.

Some projects has a total supply but no maximum supply which means new tokens can be printed whenever they want and be introduced into the market. Coin like dogecoin has an infinite amount of supply.

As for circulating supply, unless the tokens are locked for a very long amount of time, I won't be comfortable if the circulating supply isn't upto 30% of the total supply available to the market to trade.

[DapanasFruit]

Though there can be some rare exemptions, I would always prefer to deal with low-supply type of projects...maybe not more than 100 million though it all depends a lot on the type of project, how useful it can be, how the market is perceiving it and the people behind the platform. Usually, there a lot of factors why a platform can be valuable aside from the published circulating supply. We have to remember that there are low-supply projects that got a lot of problems taking off. and got no big potential for real growth. So we need to balance things off in trying to understand this whole thing.

When the token circulation is large enough, then you need to have a large amount of liquidity to avoid falling prices, no one can control the price of tokens in the market, but too many tokens are not good for the price of tokens in the future. therefore tokens need to have a max supply

[Kgdktac]

It ultimately depends on various factors such as the nature of the project, the total supply, the token economics, and the overall market conditions.

It's important to note that the circulating supply is just one factor to consider when evaluating a project.

Regarding brand new projects, if the use case is compelling and the project has a solid team and community support, it may be worth considering investing in despite the low circulating supply.

[blockman]

When the token circulation is large enough, then you need to have a large amount of liquidity to avoid falling prices, no one can control the price of tokens in the market, but too many tokens are not good for the price of tokens in the future.

Falling prices for every project are unavoidable. You will not know when they are about to fall but having these factors like the circulating supply and its market cap will give you an idea of whether to proceed to invest and hold it.

therefore tokens need to have a max supply

Except the meme coins that has unlimited supply and that determines the price for each of them because if a project has a limited supply, how much it got can easily be computed and you'll project the future price of it, market cap and your potential profit. I am sure that many does that before they invest.

such thing usually already being shown in tokenomics, when the vested unlocked, how much circulating supplies will increase, could also be used to judge whether a project is having abnormal allocation, but the most important thing is that the project has quality.

[ifarted]

A coins that have good amount of supply in circulation are most likely not doing good and also its price would be low too since when a person demands the said token then they can get it since the supply is not low. It's all about supply and demand, I am sure you know what it is. The more people demand and yet the supply is low then the more people pay more money just to own it

There is even such a trading strategy when you sell coins before unlocking investors' coins, and buy after unlocking when the Circulating Supply increases, which leads to a decrease in the price of the coin.

I think this isn't a strategy at all but more like a common sense. They need to sell early because they are afraid that the coin will dump when it was unlocked as those big investors might sell a big portion of their coins. If they did and the price dips, that is also a perfect time for buying but you should only do that if you already research about the project and you found out that it is not a shit coin, hype coin or something like that. Circulating supply won't be included there for no reasons but they play a role along with other data's. We need to make use of them in order to be more successful when investing.

[so98nn]

First of all yes it does matter how much supply is there for a particular coin. Secondly, the reason why it is important lies in the basic formula of exchange that is demand and supply. It is but obvious that if circulating supply is very high then there would be no situation where we will have demand for that coin. If any High demands pops in then it would be simply diluted due to high and continue supply. This can over the time create an inflation like situation and thus make it harder for that coin to grow in terms of price per unit. I believe we should have Short supply and high demand will drive the projects success in no time.

It's all about supply and demand, I am sure you know what it is. The more people demand and yet the supply is low then the more people pay more money just to own it

That is one good point, additionally the performance of high volume of circulation coins has been low due to inflation and advisors walking away from them. Most of the successful ones are deflationary, which is not a symbol of following bitcoin but rather not following the fiat economy of inflation.

The investors who are using trading as method to make money in the short or long term want to see prices and thus they want bigger prices in their time period.

[worle1bm]

If the project is good although there are very few one's which have actual use case then supply always matter.The low supply and high demand even for temporary period can give you profits to fill your bags then we should focus on all things before investment.The more supply is not a bad thing if there is utility and demand to keep circulation for long period so main is how well the coin can do in market.

[kevindjunaidi]

the circulating supply is not very important to me and what is important in my opinion is the total supply, because a lot of total supply also has an impact on the price, make the price is difficult to increase very high (unless there is a burn), but what I avoid the most is an unlimited total supply, because it is very risky and makes me never invest in the project (unlimited total supply).

I also think that the total supply plays a bigger role than the circulating supply. And if the total supply is not limited, it can indeed play a bad role at any time. From the last one I can recall the LUNA crash, when a huge number of coins were issued in a few days. I guess that's what started the chain of bankruptcies and the bear market.

What is the fair percentage of a total max supply that are in circulation that can make you invest in a project? It is fine to avoid a project that has low circulating supply? Why? What about if the project is a brand new project and the use case is killing it?

Personally if I think that the use-cases of the projects is not sustainable, I would choose not to invest into it at the first place. However, there might be times that it'll be challenging to tell if the project does have a good use-cases or none. As per the circulating supply, I don't think the success of it depends to that a lot, adoption does.

That is certain as some people are just focused on the circulating supply minding out how the total supply can affect the price. However, choosing coins doesn't just stop but also consider if that project has a use-case that would absolutely help us to determine the future of this project. Circulating supply or total supply, well, what matters most is to see the project continuously developing as the price will grow in the long run as long they show that they are worthy enough to trust.

Both are important, without an use case then it is impossible for any coin to achieve long term success, as a coin needs a strong community to survive and this is only possible if people find the coin useful.

However we cannot simply ignore the supply, even if a coin was good, if it had an almost unlimited supply eventually the coin will fail, as people will realize that their coins have a very high chance of losing their purchasing power on the future.

Circulating supply is very important if you have short to medium term investment intentions. The limited circulating supply in the market gives altcoins the opportunity to increase sharply before the total supply is released and circulated.

Unlimited supply does not tell if the project has potential or not, let's not forget that ETH is also a coin with unlimited supply, and it is the queen of altcoins. To evaluate a project with potential or not, I think it needs a lot of factors, supply is just a small factor that is not too important.
