XMR · Coin Supply

Miners get new XMR every block. Nothing takes any back.

XMR runs Monero, a private payments chain: 18.82M coins circulate, all of them unlocked. Every coin was mined, with no premine and no team share.

Sell pressure. Mining is the only new supply: 0.6 XMR a block, with no end date, or 38,812 XMR in 90 days. Nothing vests, and no foundation holds coins outside the float.

Buy pressure. Nothing takes XMR out: no burn, no buyback, no staking lock.

Net. Net, supply grows about 0.21% in 90 days, and the same next.

~38.81K XMR

Miners get 0.6 new XMR for every block, forever, with no end date. In these 90 days the chain made 64,689 blocks (one every 120.2 seconds, a little slower than the 2-minute target), so 38,812 new XMR were created, about 431 a day. 4,772 extra-large blocks paid slightly less, about 1 XMR in total. Fees also go to miners, but those are existing coins, not new ones.

2. Vesting unlocks
0

Monero launched in 2014 with no premine, no sale and no team share. Every coin ever made came from mining, so there is nothing to vest.

checked · Oct 11 2026
3. Foundation + unscheduled unlocks
0

There is no foundation treasury. The community fund collects donations and pays developers per finished task; its balance is private and not published. Circulating and total supply differ by only 7.2 XMR, so every wallet, including that fund, is already in the float and its payouts add no new supply.

checked · Oct 11 2026
4. Long-term locked or bankruptcy
0

No bankruptcy estate, court sale or long lock is releasing XMR, and no fund or listed company holds a large known stash.

Buy pressure
1. Programmatic buyback
0

Nothing buys XMR back. There is no company, treasury or fee share behind the coin.

checked · Oct 11 2026
2. Protocol fee burn
0

Monero burns no fees: all 685 XMR of fees paid in these 90 days went to miners. Total supply rose by exactly the new coins, so nothing left the supply.

checked · Oct 11 2026
3. Foundation buy
0

No team or treasury buys XMR on the market.

4. New long-term lock
0

Monero is mined, not staked, so no coins are locked away to earn rewards.

XMR · Coin Demand

Two sides: how much people want XMR right now, and how much buying could come later.

3 / 5Moderate

Current demand1.5 / 2.5

This part is based on social media. It shows how hot XMR is right now. A better rank means more people are talking about it.

XMR on social mediaIts rank among the 110 coins we follow · last 12 months · #1 = most talked about
#46 · Oct 11 2026

Today, people are talking about XMR for two reasons:

  1. 1
    Monero released a small fix update.

    The Monero team released version 0.18.5.4 on Oct 17 2026, a minor bug-fix update. It fixes how nodes check the internet's DNS security keys for checkpoints and update checks. People ask if node runners need to update right away.

  2. 2
    XMR rose about 7% this week while most coins fell.

    XMR was near $558 on Oct 17 2026, up about 7% in seven days, near its high for the week. It is still about 30% below its Jan 2026 high of about $798. People ask if privacy coins can keep rising while the rest of the market is weak.

Should you buy XMR? Questions about XMR

Is it time to buy the Monero dip?

Supply and demand point to a mixed long-run signal for Monero (Oct 17 2026, score 6/10). Monero adds +0.21% new supply in 90 days, and demand reads moderate (3/5). Monero's price drivers: 1 ▲ price up, 0 ▼ price down.

Monero or Zcash for someone who wants a privacy coin?

Zcash looks a bit stronger by our numbers: 7.5/10 against Monero's 6.5/10 (Oct 11 2026), mainly on demand (5/5 against 3/5). But Monero adds less new supply, +0.84% a year against +3.86% for Zcash. Both face the EU exchange ban on Jul 10 2027. Supply and demand still read mixed for Monero in the long run.

What has been lifting Monero's price?

Probably a stronger, safer network. Monero's hashrate hit a record 6.63 GH/s, and the worst mining attack was back on Sep 14 2025. The FCMP++ upgrade has also been in beta tests since Oct 5 2026, though no mainnet date is set yet. Our supply-and-demand read for Monero stays mixed.

Could Monero ever hit $10,000?

Monero trades near $531 (Oct 17 2026). $10,000 a coin means a $188B market cap, 19 times today's $10B. Monero's supply also grows +0.84% in the next year, so every extra coin needs buyers too. Supply and demand still read mixed for Monero in the long run.

Is it time to take profit on Monero?

We would read Monero differently if new supply jumps (today +0.21% in 90 days), or demand falls from moderate. Until then Monero's signal stays mixed. Mark this date for Monero: Jul 10 2027 — EU privacy-coin ban.

Is Monero a good investment right now?

Monero scores 6/10 on our framework (Oct 17 2026): supply 3/5 (light), demand 3/5. Over the next year Monero's supply changes +0.84%. The long-run signal is mixed.

How do I know when to buy Monero?

Supply and demand favor Monero most when little new supply is coming, demand is strong and the price drivers point up. Right now Monero has +0.21% new supply in 90 days (light), demand moderate (3/5), drivers 1 ▲ / 0 ▼.

Will Monero go up in 2026?

Monero's price drivers today: 1 pointing up, 0 pointing down, out of 3. • Exchange bans: Big exchanges left in 2024; EU ban starts Jul 10 2027. ▲ Mining attacks: Hashrate 6.05 GH/s, record 6.36; worst attack was Sep 14 2025. • FCMP++ upgrade: Beta tests running since Oct 5 2026; mainnet date not set.

Should I buy Monero or Bitcoin?

Monero: mixed signal, 6/10 · Bitcoin: positive signal, 8.5/10 (Oct 17 2026). By supply and demand, Monero reads weaker than Bitcoin today.

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 +0.21% 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. XMR supply grows +0.21% in the next 90 days, so it shows in red: more XMR reaches the market than is removed. Zero or falling supply is always green, any growth is red.
