Supply release: when does the rest arrive?
68% issued · minedThe remaining 32% is released by mining on a schedule fixed in the protocol.
New DASH enters circulation as a block reward that steps down on a schedule written into the consensus rules — no company controls it, and nobody can bring it forward or hold it back. Because it is enforced in code rather than by an issuer, the remaining supply arrives gradually over decades rather than in unlock events.
If every DASH that can ever exist were circulating at today's price, the market capitalisation would be about 1.5× what it is now.

About Dash
Dash is one of crypto's oldest coins — a 2014 Bitcoin fork focused on fast, cheap payments, with optional privacy features and a self-funding governance treasury.
Created by Evan Duffield (2014) — launched as XCoin, then Darkcoin, before settling on Dash.
Dash in context
Dash trades 96% below its all-time high of A$1,947.32, set in December 2017. Over the past 90 days it has gained 51.4% in AUD terms, outperforming Bitcoin's +28.0% by 23.5 percentage points — one of the moves behind today's altcoin season index reading. Daily turnover runs at about 28.5% of its market value — heavily traded, so large orders move it less than the smaller coins.
