Sell pressure

1. Protocol inflation

~60.28K DASH

Every block pays new DASH to the miner and to a masternode. The reward was cut by 1/14 on Aug 16 2026, from 1.77 to 1.64 DASH per block, and the part that lands in normal wallets is now 1.18 DASH. Over 49,327 blocks that came to 60,276 DASH. At the new rate and today's block pace the next 90 days add about 58,278 DASH.

2. Vesting unlocks

Nothing vests. Dash launched in 2014 with mining from the first block: there was no token sale, no investor round and no team allocation, so there is no locked pile waiting to open.

checked · Oct 5 2026

3. Foundation + unscheduled unlocks

The biggest pile outside the market is the Platform credit pool: 39,730 DASH, up from 26,421 at the start of the window. Coins leave it only as withdrawals, booked in row 6. The treasury holds no stock; it is created at each payout. The core team's working wallets are not public, and the 4.04M DASH locked as masternode collateral already counts as circulating.

4. Long-term locked or bankruptcy

No estate, trustee or long lock is paying DASH out.

checked · Oct 5 2026

5. Treasury payouts

~20.85K DASH

Once a month the network creates new DASH for the projects that won the masternode vote. Three payouts fell in the window: 7,227 DASH on Jul 22, 6,817 on Aug 21 and 6,810 on Sep 21 2026. The next is due Oct 21 2026 with 5,193 DASH passing today out of 6,828 available; two more follow around Nov 20 and Dec 20 2026.

checked · Oct 5 2026

6. Platform withdrawals

~40.26K DASH

Coins that come back from Dash Platform to the main chain: 2,127 withdrawals, 40,261 DASH in 90 days. It mixes the masternode reward share that is paid through Platform (23,586 new DASH entered the pool that way in the window) with users moving their own coins back. The forward figure keeps the 90-day rate.

Buy pressure

1. Programmatic buyback

No contract, treasury or company buys DASH back.

checked · Oct 5 2026

2. Protocol fee burn

~0.04K DASH

Transaction fees go to the miner, not to a burn. The only coins destroyed are the 1 DASH fee paid to submit a treasury proposal: 38 proposals, 38 DASH, in the window.

checked · Oct 5 2026

3. Foundation buy

No announcement or on-chain flow shows the core team or any project treasury buying DASH this window.

checked · Oct 5 2026

4. New long-term lock

Running a masternode locks 1,000 DASH (4,000 for an evonode), and 2,959 nodes lock about 4.04M DASH today. Those coins still count as circulating, so a new node takes nothing out of the market.

checked · Oct 5 2026

5. Platform deposits

~29.98K DASH

Coins moved from the main chain into Dash Platform credits leave the market until they are withdrawn: 1,426 deposits, 29,984 DASH in 90 days. The forward figure keeps the 90-day rate.

Should you buy DASH? Questions about DASH

Should I enter Dash right now?

Is Dash coin dead, or is it still being built?

No, Dash is still being built. Its shielded pool went live on Aug 4 2026, and Core v24 is still in testing. Demand reads modest (2.5/5) with +0.68% new supply in 90 days, so it looks quiet rather than gone. That leaves Dash's long-run signal at mixed, by supply and demand.

Which Dash crypto news matters most right now?

The EU rule is the big one: the exchange ban on privacy coins starts Jul 10 2027, which could cut where Dash trades. In the US, a Zcash ETF opened, which shows the softer side. For now we count neither as pushing Dash up or down. For Dash, the supply-and-demand signal is mixed right now.

Could Dash ever hit $10,000?

Should I sell my Dash now?

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 +0.68% 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. DASH supply grows +0.68% in the next 90 days, so it shows in red: more DASH reaches the market than is removed. Zero or falling supply is always green, any growth is red.
