Points to check
What our data shows that a holder should know. Each point is a measurement, not a rating.

41% more than today's circulating supply can still enter circulation (14.63 billion XLM), so the fully diluted value is 1.41x the market cap.
- Supply we cannot count
We do not run a Stellar node: the supply is the project's or network's published figure, read every hour and labelled as such.
- Price swings
Its daily moves were 1.7x as large as bitcoin's over the past year (volatility 76% against 44%).
- Distance from the high
