Compound

Today's state: Compound is trading at $17.71 with a $0.2 billion market capitalization (rank #0). The price moved -0.17% over the past 24 hours and is +9.44% over 7 days; the 30-day move stands at -22.50% and the 90-day at -3.75%.

Position vs cycle: The asset trades deep in the post-peak drawdown regime, more than 70% below its prior cycle high — typical of late-stage bear conditions or assets that have permanently re-rated lower.

Volatility and structure: 30-day realized volatility of 77.2% annualized is high for an asset this size. Our composite multi-horizon Price Strength reads Bearish (31/100), against a weakening multi-horizon backdrop with cumulative pressure across 30/90-day windows.

Beyond Bitcoin, COMP's 90-day return correlations to the other two largest layer-1 references help characterize whether the asset moves as part of a crypto-market beta complex or as something more idiosyncratic. The Pearson correlations across daily log returns:

• Bitcoin reference: +0.42 — a moderate positive relationship.
• Ethereum reference: +0.38 — a weak positive relationship.
• Solana reference: +0.38 — a weak positive relationship.

Strong correlation to multiple references typically indicates that the asset trades primarily as crypto-market beta — moves in BTC/ETH/SOL drive most of the price action, and stand-alone alpha is harder to capture. Weak or negative correlations indicate idiosyncratic drivers (project-specific news, sector rotation within crypto, or narrative shifts) that can produce returns uncorrelated with the broader market.

Compound (COMP) is a cryptocurrency, traded on global digital-asset markets. It trades at $17.71 as of the latest update, with a 24-hour move down 0.17%, placing it at rank #191 by market capitalisation among all listed digital assets. Compound's current market cap stands at $171.22M, a figure used by traders, analysts and institutional desks to gauge relative liquidity and risk exposure across the crypto market.

On this page you'll find a live, daily-refreshed dashboard tracking Compound across multiple data sources — price history going back several years, on-chain activity where available, fundamentals like circulating supply and dilution, top exchanges by volume, technical analysis using moving averages and RSI, and an algorithmic short, mid and long-term forecast. All figures are pulled from public APIs and cached locally; nothing here is investment advice.

Compound gives holders governance over one of the established DeFi protocols. Token value depends on protocol revenue, TVL, user growth, and the credibility of the governance process. Treat the token as equity in the protocol.

Compound is a DeFi governance token: ownership of the token confers voting rights over the underlying protocol's parameters (fees, listed assets, treasury allocation) and, in some cases, a share of protocol revenue. The value of the token tracks the protocol's utility and revenue — not the price of any underlying asset.

Primary use cases: governance participation (voting on parameter changes), fee-sharing or rebates in protocols that distribute revenue to stakers, collateral on lending markets (for the major tokens), and exposure to the underlying protocol's growth.

Compound's tokenomics combine its supply schedule, current circulating supply, and the relationship between circulating market cap and fully-diluted valuation. At 96.7% of maximum supply already issued, the remaining issuance is a relatively small fraction of total potential supply. Sell pressure from future issuance is therefore limited.

For thesis-building, the relevant question is whether the structural value accrual mechanism (fee burns, staking yield reinvestment, deflationary supply mechanics, ecosystem TVL growth) outpaces the structural emission pressure. When it does, the price tends to grind higher over multi-quarter windows even without speculative momentum; when it does not, the asset typically requires consistent narrative-driven demand to absorb the issuance.

The macro backdrop for crypto assets in 2026 is dominated by the Federal Reserve's rate path, the trajectory of dollar liquidity, and the unwind (or non-unwind) of the post-2020 expansion in M2 money supply. Crypto assets — and Bitcoin in particular — have historically responded most strongly to changes in the global liquidity regime, with risk-on phases coinciding with falling real yields and a softening dollar, and risk-off phases the inverse. Given the 90-day BTC correlation of +0.42, COMP's near-term macro sensitivity will be similar to Bitcoin's — driven primarily by the same liquidity conditions and risk-asset flows.

The cross-asset relationships worth monitoring: the dollar index (DXY) — historically inversely correlated with crypto over longer windows; the 10-year Treasury yield — a proxy for the cost of risk capital; gold — which often shares "monetary hedge" framing with Bitcoin during certain regime changes; and the S&P 500 — which during liquidity-driven moves often rhymes with crypto despite the popular framing of crypto as uncorrelated.

For Compound specifically, the macro variable that has empirically led price most often is global crypto-market liquidity — proxied by stablecoin total supply, futures open interest, and exchange volumes. When these expand, COMP tends to follow; when they contract, the relationship typically reverses.

Specific risks: protocol exploit risk (a flaw in the smart contracts can wipe out treasury and dilute the token), governance attacks (hostile actors acquiring voting power), revenue dependence on broader DeFi activity (cyclical), competitive pressure from rival protocols, and regulatory ambiguity around governance-token classification.
