Sell pressure

1. Protocol inflation

~18.87M XDC

Every epoch of 900 rounds mints 5,000 new XDC for the masternodes that signed blocks: 90% to the node owners, 10% to the foundation wallet, which we saw take exactly 500 XDC each epoch. Blocks came every 2.30 seconds, slower than the 2-second target, so 3,774 epochs passed in 90 days: 18.87M new XDC, about 210K a day. A new tiered reward plan runs on the test network but has no main-network date yet.

checked · Oct 8 2026

2. Vesting unlocks

The team share (15B at launch) unlocks about 3% a year and the ecosystem share (10B) at most 2.5% a year, released as one yearly step. The last step came on Feb 5 2026 (about 841M); the next is due Feb 5 2027, after both 90-day windows. The founders' wallet still holds 13,446.0M and sent nothing in the window.

checked · Oct 8 2026

3. Foundation + unscheduled unlocks

Tracked team holdings: the founders' wallet (13,446.0M, last payout Dec 15 2025), two reserve wallets set up at launch (3,609.2M and 1,225.8M, untouched since 2024 and 2022) and a project payout wallet. Those three reserves match the 18.12B counted as locked. The payout wallet sent 400.0M in eight 50M transfers to an operations wallet this window (675.6M left); those coins were already counted as unlocked, so they add nothing new.

4. Long-term locked or bankruptcy

No bankruptcy estate, trustee or long lock is paying XDC out. The contingency share stays inside the reserve wallets above.

checked · Oct 8 2026

Buy pressure

1. Programmatic buyback

No contract or treasury buys XDC back. The 10% foundation slice of each epoch's reward is paid out again, not bought or held off the market.

checked · Oct 8 2026

2. Protocol fee burn

Fees are not burned. The network code pays the whole fee, base fee included, to the masternode that made the block; a fee burn has been proposed for a future upgrade but is not in the live code. Burn addresses moved by only 22 XDC in 90 days.

checked · Oct 8 2026

3. Foundation buy

No announcement or on-chain flow this window shows the foundation or any project treasury buying XDC.

checked · Oct 8 2026

4. New long-term lock

Masternodes lock at least 10M XDC each, and the staking contract grew from 2,730.9M to 3,701.1M XDC (+970.2M) this window as new validators joined. Staked XDC still counts as circulating, so a bigger stake takes nothing out of the float.

Today, people are talking about XDC for two reasons:

1
Swiss firm Taurus joined XDC as a validator.
On Oct 7 2026 Taurus, a Geneva company that builds custody and trading tools for banks, said it now runs a validator on XDC Network. It joins a list that already includes SBI Holdings, Deutsche Telekom and NTT DOCOMO Global. People ask if more banks will follow and use the chain, not just help run it.
2
XDC's Brazil tokenization plan grew from $500 million to $2 billion.
Around Oct 9 2026, XDC Network and Brazilian fintech Liqi raised their plan for tokenized Brazilian credit, like receivables and farm loans, from $500 million to $2 billion through 2028. The first $500 million goal was reached about nine months early. People ask how much of this real activity ends up needing the XDC coin itself.

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 +0.09% 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. XDC supply grows +0.09% in the next 90 days, so it shows in red: more XDC reaches the market than is removed. Zero or falling supply is always green, any growth is red.
