Sell pressure

1. Protocol inflation

~55.80M AERO

Every Thursday the minter created new AERO: 61.94M in 13 weekly mints, about 4.76M each. Of that, 6.14M was the rebase paid straight into existing locks, so 55.80M reached the market — rewards for liquidity providers plus about 220K a week for the team. From Oct 22 2026 the old mint stops and Aero rewards replace it, minted only when providers claim and expected near 12% a year: about 58.74M in the next 90 days.

2. Vesting unlocks

AERO has no vesting calendar. The launch allocations were handed out as locks, so any release shows up as a lock ending (row 4), not as a scheduled unlock.

checked · Oct 16 2026

3. Foundation + unscheduled unlocks

Tracked team wallets, all already counted as circulating: a team multisig with 29.25M AERO (down 153.6K in 90 days), the team Safe that receives the weekly team share with 3.77M (up from 0.73M — it holds, it has not sold), and the growth fund's Safe with 1.62M of bought-back AERO not yet locked. Relay reward pots hold another 60.13M that only their lockers can claim. None of this adds new supply when it moves.

checked · Oct 16 2026

4. Long-term locked or bankruptcy

~4.07M AERO

998.12M AERO sits in locks and counts as not circulating. Locks that ended released 4.07M back to their owners in 1,330 withdrawals. At the upgrade, locks turn into staked AERO with the same time left, so locks keep ending at about this pace.

checked · Oct 16 2026

5. Velodrome holders' share

On Oct 22 2026 Aerodrome and Velodrome become Aero. Each VELO turns into 0.044 AERO. Free VELO (1.35B) becomes up to 59.47M new tradable AERO; locked VELO becomes staked AERO and stays out of the float. This is a one-time addition in the next 90 days.

checked · Oct 16 2026

Buy pressure

1. Programmatic buyback

~2.75M AERO

The protocol's growth fund buys AERO with its revenue, about twice a week: 3.93M AERO for about $2.01M in 90 days. It locked 2.75M of it for good on Aug 24 2026; 1.62M still sits in its Safe and counts as circulating until it is locked. After the upgrade its successor fund is set to buy back and burn; at today's price the same dollars buy about 2.30M AERO in 90 days.

checked · Oct 16 2026

2. Protocol fee burn

Nothing is burned from fees: trading fees are paid to the voters who lock AERO. The dead address grew by less than 1 AERO. Aero adds per-pool reward caps that can burn extra rewards, but there is no figure yet.

checked · Oct 16 2026

3. Foundation buy

Apart from the growth fund above, no team or foundation wallet bought AERO in this window.

checked · Oct 16 2026

4. New long-term lock

~22.43M AERO

Holders put 22.43M AERO from the market into locks: 11.14M of new locks and top-ups, and 11.29M that relay users moved from relay reward pots into their own locks. Relay rewards ended Oct 14 2026, so we count only the 11.14M pace for the next 90 days.

#46 · Oct 16 2026

Today, people are talking about AERO for two reasons:

1
Aerodrome and Velodrome merged into one exchange called Aero.
Aero went live on Oct 21 2026 on seven networks, including Base, Ethereum, Arbitrum and Robinhood Chain. Each VELO turns into 0.044 new AERO, so Aerodrome holders keep 94.5% of the new supply, and the team says 100% of exchange revenue from pools goes to AERO stakers. People ask if one bigger exchange will earn more fees for stakers.
2
AERO fell about 20% in the days after the merger.
AERO traded near $0.88 on Oct 21 2026, the day of the launch, and slipped to about $0.70 by Oct 24 2026. The whole crypto market was weak that week too. People ask whether holders sold the news, or if the drop is just the market.

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 +10.84% shown in red?

We look at two things: supply and demand. Fewer new coins mean less selling pressure. We also show each coin's age, with a warning when it is younger than 1 year. Demand shows how much people want the coin. Price Drivers (Beta) are the 2 or 3 things that can move one coin's price that supply and demand miss. AERO supply grows +10.84% 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.
