Market pulse

Live editorial snapshot — numbers update on every refresh

Today's state: Decred is trading at $10.52 with a $0.2 billion market capitalization (rank #150). The price moved -14.50% over the past 24 hours and is -20.20% over 7 days; the 30-day move stands at -18.50% and the 90-day at -34.42%.

Position vs cycle: A drawdown of more than 70% from the last cycle high puts the asset firmly in deep-bear territory, where recoveries have historically required a fresh demand catalyst rather than mere mean-reversion.

Volatility and structure: 30-day realized volatility of 83.2% annualized is high for an asset this size. Our composite multi-horizon Price Strength reads Weak (23/100), in a structurally weak regime with material losses across every meaningful horizon.

Decred's performance grid shows the asset lost 14.50% over the last 24 hours, with the 7-day picture 20.20% lower and the 30-day frame 18.50% lower. Across the past year it shows gains of 0.00%, against a weakening multi-horizon backdrop.

The asset currently trades 95.8% below its all-time high, far enough below the peak that the path back has tended to hinge on renewed narrative demand rather than mechanical mean-reversion. 30-day realized volatility sits at 70% annualized — high territory for a crypto asset of this size.

On the liquidity side, Decred presents healthy turnover and adequate exchange coverage. 24-hour trading volume represents 1.211% of market capitalization — our liquidity-health composite scores this as Healthy (65/100). This is in line with typical top-100 turnover and supports orderly price discovery.

The 90-day Pearson correlation of DCR's daily returns versus Bitcoin's is +0.53 — a moderate positive relationship. Decred is materially correlated with Bitcoin but retains some idiosyncratic price-action. Portfolio diversification benefit is real but limited.

The forecast above combines three independent models per the STNews methodology:

  • Technical model projects ranges from moving-average, ATR, Bollinger band and trend-slope inputs — useful when the asset is in a clean trending or ranging regime.
  • Statistical (Monte Carlo) model samples the last 90 days of daily log returns to map the 5th, 50th and 95th percentile outcomes at each horizon, giving a trend-agnostic baseline.
  • Peer-relative model benchmarks the asset against similarly-sized coins in its category, asking where it would sit if it tracked the median, lower-quartile and upper-quartile peer returns — a sector-anchored sanity check.

The headline ensemble forecast weights the three models 40/30/30 (statistical/technical/peer-relative). Its confidence badge measures how closely they concur — close agreement reads as higher confidence, while divergence reads lower and signals an unreliable, hard-to-model regime.

To place DCR in the wider market, its 90-day return correlations against the two other largest layer-1s show whether it trades as crypto-market beta or on its own drivers. The Pearson figures across daily log returns:

  • Bitcoin reference: +0.01 — a minimal positive relationship.
  • Ethereum reference: -0.09 — a minimal negative relationship.
  • Solana reference: -0.06 — a minimal negative 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.

About Decred

Decred (DCR) is a cryptocurrency, traded on global digital-asset markets. It trades at $10.52 as of the latest update, with a 24-hour move down 14.50%, placing it at rank #166 by market capitalisation among all listed digital assets. Decred's current market cap stands at $185.04M, 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 Decred 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.

Decred (DCR) is a cryptocurrency traded on global digital-asset markets. Its specific role depends on the protocol and ecosystem built around it — the data and market sections on this page describe what can be measured directly from on-chain and exchange activity.

Decred currently ranks #150 by market capitalisation, making it a mid-cap asset in the broad top 250. About 84% of the maximum DCR supply is in circulation today (17.56M of 21.00M), leaving a moderate emission stream still to come. It currently trades about 96% below its all-time high of $250.90 set in April 2021, while sitting roughly 24.4× above its record low.

STNews Analyst Note

By market value Decred (DCR) ranks in the broad top 250, trading at $10.52 as of the latest snapshot. DCR is -14.50% over 24 hours, -20.20% over the past week, -18.50% over 30 days, putting it among the weekly underperformers across the top 250 by market capitalisation. Decred remains roughly 96% beneath its all-time high of $250.90, a level first printed in April 2021. Roughly 84% of DCR's total supply is liquid today (17.56M of 21.00M), with the balance scheduled for gradual release over time.

Trading volume is light versus market value — only about 3.4% of capitalisation changes hands daily — so larger orders can move price more than they would for higher-liquidity peers.

How it works — Decred

Decred settles on a public blockchain, with ownership recorded against cryptographic addresses rather than personal identities. Its supply schedule and core parameters are defined in software and changed only by coordination among the people who run the network — there is no central operator.

Decred currently ranks #150 by market capitalisation, making it a mid-cap asset in the broad top 250. About 84% of the maximum DCR supply is in circulation today (17.56M of 21.00M), leaving a moderate emission stream still to come. It currently trades about 96% below its all-time high of $250.90 set in April 2021, while sitting roughly 24.4× above its record low.

Use cases — Decred

Decred is used for value transfer, on-chain settlement, and access to whatever application or ecosystem its protocol supports. Because utility varies widely across projects of this kind, the most reliable read on the asset is its market data — liquidity, supply dynamics, and price behaviour — shown elsewhere on this page.

Daily volume runs at about 3.4% of market capitalisation ($6.32M in the last 24 hours), in the normal band for a coin of this size and supportive of orderly entries and exits.

Tokenomics

Supply schedule & distribution

Circulating vs locked vs unminted
  • Circulating supply: 17.56M DCR — tokens actively trading and held by the public
  • Total supply: 17.56M DCR — all tokens minted to date (including those locked or held by the issuer)
  • Max supply: 21.00M DCR — the protocol-defined upper limit (if any) on lifetime issuance
  • Issued to date: 83.6% of max supply
  • Locked / treasury: 0% of total supply

Decred's supply schedule directly affects its long-term inflation rate and, by extension, how dilutive future issuance will be to existing holders. A coin near full dilution behaves very differently from one that still has 60% of its supply waiting to be unlocked.

Supply economics

Issuance pressure, dilution, and structural value accrual

Decred's tokenomics combine its supply schedule, current circulating supply, and the relationship between circulating market cap and fully-diluted valuation. At 83.6% 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.

The question that matters for a longer-term view is simple: does value accrual (burns, staking-yield reinvestment, deflationary mechanics, growing ecosystem TVL) run ahead of new issuance, or behind it? Ahead, and price can compound quietly; behind, and it leans on continuous fresh demand to soak up the supply.

Trader's note

Coin-type-aware tactical interpretation

Decred is best traded off its measurable profile — turnover and market depth, how much of the supply is already issued, and the trend across 24-hour, 7-day and 30-day windows — rather than off a presumed utility story. Where liquidity is thin, market-impact on size is the first risk to manage.

Price Strength reads weak (23/100), and the asset sits 96% from its all-time high. With assets like this the most reliable read is the market data itself — liquidity, supply dynamics and multi-horizon momentum shown elsewhere on this page — because the on-chain utility varies widely from one project to the next. Size positions to the liquidity, not to the narrative.

Fear
2026-08-18

The Crypto Fear & Greed Index aggregates volatility, market momentum, social media activity, dominance and Google Trends data into a single 0–100 score updated daily. Today's reading is 41 — Fear.

Extreme fear (below 25) historically signals buying opportunities for contrarians, while extreme greed (above 75) often precedes corrections. The index works best as one input among many, not as a standalone trading signal.

Macro & cross-asset context

How macro liquidity and cross-asset moves frame the trade

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).

For Decred 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, DCR tends to follow; when they contract, the relationship typically reverses. With a comparatively loose 90-day BTC correlation of +0.01, DCR has shown more idiosyncratic price behaviour than the average large-cap — its own catalysts can matter as much as the broad liquidity tide.

Risks

General crypto risks apply: high volatility (double-digit daily moves are common), regulatory uncertainty, exchange and custody risk, and project-specific execution risk. With a smaller or less-established asset, liquidity can be thin — meaning larger orders move the price more, and exits during stress can be costly. Size positions accordingly and never commit more than you can afford to lose.
