Live data temporarily unavailable. We could not retrieve current price, market-capitalisation and ranking data for Compound at the last refresh. The market figures on this page will populate automatically once a fresh data feed is available; in the meantime, no price-derived analysis is shown to avoid presenting placeholder values as real.

Looking past Bitcoin alone, how closely COMP tracks the next two biggest layer-1s over 90 days indicates whether it is mostly market beta or something more independent. The daily-log-return correlations:

• Bitcoin reference: +0.53 — a moderate positive relationship.
• Ethereum reference: +0.50 — a moderate positive relationship.
• Solana reference: +0.50 — a moderate positive relationship.

High correlation across several references usually means the asset is mostly crypto-market beta: when BTC, ETH and SOL move, it moves too, and independent alpha is hard to find. Low or negative readings point to its own drivers — project-specific news, intra-crypto sector rotation or narrative shifts — that can decouple it from the broad market.

Compound (COMP) is a cryptocurrency, traded on global digital-asset markets. It trades at $16.49 as of the latest update, with a 24-hour move up 0.50%, placing it at rank #183 by market capitalisation among all listed digital assets. Compound's current market cap stands at $164.87M, 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.

The token is mainly used to vote on protocol decisions, to earn fee-shares or rebates where revenue is distributed to stakers, as collateral on lending venues (for the larger names), and simply as a way to hold exposure to the 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 over 99% of maximum supply issued, future issuance pressure is effectively zero — the supply curve is now flat, and value accrual must come from network adoption rather than from supply schedule mechanics.

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.

At the macro level, the variables that move this asset class most are the direction of US interest rates, the supply of dollar liquidity, and the state of global risk appetite. Crypto has behaved like a long-duration, high-beta risk asset: it tends to rally when real yields fall and the dollar softens, and to sell off when liquidity tightens.

A handful of traditional gauges tend to lead or confirm crypto moves: the dollar index (strength is a headwind), the 10-year yield (the price of risk capital), gold (an occasional fellow-traveller in debasement trades), and the S&P 500 (which often moves with crypto when liquidity, not fundamentals, is in the driver's seat).

Zooming in on Compound, the most reliable leading indicator has tended to be crypto-native liquidity itself — aggregate stablecoin supply, open interest in futures, and exchange volume. Rising on-chain liquidity has historically pulled COMP up; draining liquidity has done the opposite. Given the 90-day BTC correlation of +0.53, COMP's near-term macro sensitivity will be similar to Bitcoin's — driven primarily by the same liquidity conditions and risk-asset flows.

The risks are protocol-specific: a smart-contract exploit can drain the treasury and dilute holders, a governance attack can capture voting power, revenue rises and falls with the DeFi cycle, rival protocols compete for the same liquidity, and the regulatory status of governance tokens is still unsettled.
