Sell pressure

1. Protocol inflation

~61.79M AERO

Every Thursday the minter prints 0.21% of total supply for liquidity providers, plus a team share and a top-up for lockers. Thirteen weekly mints in these 90 days added 61.79M AERO, and the on-chain total rose by exactly that much. Next 90 days: three more old-style mints until Oct 22 2026, then the new Aero rewards at its stated base rate of about 11% a year — about 61.45M AERO in all.

2. Vesting unlocks

There is no vesting calendar. Team, airdrop and partner coins were handed out as locked positions at launch in 2023, so they come back only when a lock ends and the owner withdraws — that flow is row 4.

checked · Oct 5 2026

3. Foundation + unscheduled unlocks

Tracked team-side wallets: a team multisig with 29.28M AERO (down 136K in 90 days), the team wallet with 3.32M (filled by the weekly team share), and the growth fund's buying wallet with 1.56M waiting to be locked — all already counted as circulating, so moves out of them add nothing new. The relay reward pots hold at least 54.4M AERO, also counted as circulating. None of these released locked coins to the market in the window.

checked · Oct 5 2026

4. Long-term locked or bankruptcy

~4.49M AERO

AERO comes back from locks when a lock ends and its owner withdraws. 1,295 withdrawals returned 4.49M AERO to the market in 90 days. Most locks never end: about 990M of the 993M locked AERO sit in permanent locks. No estate, trustee or court holds AERO. We hold the same pace for the next 90 days.

checked · Oct 5 2026

5. Velodrome holders join (Aero merger)

~59.50M AERO

Next 90 days only — nothing came from this in the last 90. On Oct 22 2026 Aerodrome and Velodrome merge into Aero. Old AERO moves 1:1, and VELO holders get 5.5% of the new supply — about 116.8M AERO, roughly 0.044 per VELO. About half of all VELO is free (not locked), so about 59.50M new AERO arrive free and count in the next 90 days; the locked half arrives staked and stays out of the float.

checked · Oct 5 2026

Buy pressure

1. Programmatic buyback

~6.22M AERO

The Foundation's growth fund buys AERO on the market with protocol revenue, collects it in one wallet, then max-locks it. It locked 3.48M on Jul 8 2026 and 2.75M on Aug 24 2026 — 6.22M AERO taken out of the float. It bought about 4.31M in the window (public rounds of 343K, 325K and 171K among them), so we use that pace for the next 90 days. At Aero the fund becomes the Momentum Fund, which plans to buy back and burn.

checked · Oct 5 2026

2. Protocol fee burn

Trading fees are paid to lockers who vote, not burned. Total supply never fell in the window, and the dead address gained under 1 AERO.

checked · Oct 5 2026

3. Foundation buy

The Foundation's only buying is the growth-fund program in row 1; no separate treasury purchase was announced or seen on-chain. The growth fund holds an estimated 184M–190M AERO in max locks, outside the float.

checked · Oct 5 2026

4. New long-term lock

~23.88M AERO

Besides the growth fund, holders locked 23.88M more AERO than they took out (new locks, top-ups, relay compounding and lockers' weekly top-ups claimed back into locks). Locked AERO is outside the float, so this is the main thing holding supply back. After Oct 22 2026 the lockers' top-up ends, so we cut the next-90-day figure to about 18.80M.

#60 · Oct 5 2026

Today, people are talking about AERO for two reasons:

1
Aerodrome and Velodrome merge into one exchange, Aero, on Oct 21.
The merger starts on Oct 21 2026 at 8:00 p.m. US Eastern time. Old AERO turns into the new AERO 1 to 1, each VELO gets about 0.044 new AERO, and Aerodrome holders keep about 94.5% of the new supply. People ask what they must do: tokens in your own wallet move through the upgrade page, and the old token rewards stop.
2
AERO rose more than 50% in a month before the merger.
AERO went from about $0.56 on Sep 14 2026 to about $0.94 on Oct 12 2026, then slipped to about $0.87 by Oct 14 2026. People ask if the merger news is already in the price, or if new buyers come after Oct 21.

Every answer here applies basic economic theory — the law of supply and demand — to this coin's data. It is not financial advice. How we read every coin →

How does MrNasdog judge every coin, and why is +10.23% shown in red?

We look at two things, half each: supply and demand. Fewer new coins mean less selling pressure. A meme coin scores 1.5 at most on supply: its team got its coins for free, so no new supply does not make it safe. We also show each coin's age, with a warning when it is younger than 1 year. Demand looks at how much people want the coin now and how much buying could come later. Price Drivers (Beta) are the 2 or 3 things that can move one coin's price that supply and demand miss; they have no score. AERO supply grows +10.23% in the next 90 days, so it shows in red: more AERO reaches the market than is removed. Zero or falling supply is always green, any growth is red.
