Based on on-chain returns for token holders, $CRV still faces significant selling pressure in the short term. The current price is around $0.3224, with 24-hour trading volume of about $38.02 million and a market cap of approximately $510 million, while the return for holders is around -5.5%. This means the positive contributions from staking rewards and buybacks are being offset by the dilution caused by new token issuance and unlocks.
Weak price performance is not just a matter of sentiment; it also reflects returns failing to keep pace with inflation. If the scale of future unlocks continues to exceed genuine demand and the staking rate fails to rise, investors may opt to exit in the short term, creating a feedback loop of downward pressure on the price.
Keep an eye on three things next: whether the pace of unlocks slows, whether the proportion of tokens locked in staking can recover, and whether rising trading volume signals buying support or selling. Until returns turn positive again, any rebound is better viewed as a recovery rather than proof that the bottom is in. Don't judge the bottom based solely on the low price.
