New CRV every second, and ended locks add more.
CRV runs Curve, a stablecoin exchange and lender: 1.57B coins circulate, 65% of all CRV made so far. Locked CRV does not count as circulating.
Sell pressure. Liquidity rewards created 25.44M CRV in 90 days, and 11.46M came out of ended locks. Old 2020 rewards added 918K.
Buy pressure. New locks took in 2.22M CRV. Nothing is bought back or burned.
Net. Net, supply grows about 2.26% in 90 days, and about 2.00% next.
New CRV is released every second to people who provide liquidity on Curve, and it is created when they claim it. In these 90 days 25,437,980 CRV was claimed. The yearly cut came on Aug 12 2026: the release rate fell from 3.66 to 3.08 CRV a second, about 1.86M a week, so the next 90 days bring about 23.96M.
Team, investor and staff vesting is over. One old contract still holds 10.29M CRV that early liquidity providers earned in 2020 and never claimed. They took out 918,360 CRV this window, 706,795 of it in one claim. Without that one claim, the pace is about 212K per 90 days.
A DAO reserve contract holds 845,144 CRV and did not move. The DAO treasury went from 0 to 5.73M CRV after a multisig sent it 6.3M, and it paid 568,181 CRV into a one-year stream for a risk team. The treasury and that multisig (1.52M CRV left) already count as circulating, so their moves add no new supply.
841.39M CRV sits locked for voting power, and locked CRV is not counted as circulating. When a lock ends, the owner can take the coins out: 11,463,592 CRV came out in 90 days. About 14.08M has already finished its lock and not been taken out, and 7.11M more finishes in the next 90 days (5.41M of it on Jan 7 2027). At this window's pace, about 9.51M comes out next.
Curve does not buy CRV back. Trading and lending fees are paid out to people who lock CRV, in crvUSD.
No fee is burned. The small amounts of CRV destroyed or lost by mistake are counted in row 5.
Nothing shows the DAO, the treasury or the team buying CRV in this window. The treasury received CRV from a multisig, which is a move between holders.
People locked 2,218,345 CRV for voting power and fee income in these 90 days, which takes it out of the circulating count. Many lockers keep re-locking for the full four years: 634.9M CRV is set to end in Oct 2030.
12,678 CRV was sent by mistake to the CRV contract itself, where it can never move again, and 72 CRV was burned. This happens a little every window.
Two sides: how much people want CRV right now, and how much buying could come later.
It shows how hot CRV is right now. A better rank means more people are talking about it.
Today, people are talking about CRV for two reasons:
Curve's weekly update of Oct 23 2026 shows $152,400 paid to veCRV holders, up 48.7% from the week before. Llamalend lending also grew to $257 million, up 3.5%, with 1,227 loans. People ask if rising fees can help CRV after its drop this week.
A Curve DAO vote that closes Oct 29 2026 would raise the crvUSD limit for the sreUSD market from 30 million to 60 million. An earlier vote already doubled another market's cap, to 25 million crvUSD. People ask if more lending room means more fees for CRV holders.

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 →
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. CRV supply grows +2.00% in the next 90 days, so it shows in red: more CRV reaches the market than is removed. Zero or falling supply is always green, any growth is red.
One email before each big supply event, and the day our verdict changes. Nothing else. You can watch 2 coins for free.
