Steem Total Value Powered Up - $42 million - May 15, 2022

in #steem3 years ago

This is next in my series of posts reviewing the amount and value of powered up STEEM on the Steem blockchain. For previous posts, see the end of this entry.

Noteworthy in the last week,

  • Week over week, the number of powered up STEEM grew by about 600K, or just about 2/5%.
  • The week saw 6 daily increases and 4 new highs in number of STEEM powered up. The new highs are now on a 4 day streak.
  • At 41.61%, the series-long high as a percentage of market cap was recorded on April 26. All subsequent observations have been in the 39% range, so this was probably a fluke of timing in the way that CoinGecko updates their market cap and price fields.
  • The modeled value of powered-up STEEM lost ground against all comparison tokens. Changes ranged from -3% against SBD to -24% against BTC.
  • In a week of turmoil for the entire crypto space, the modeled value of powered-up STEEM lost ground against the USD by about 33%.
  • Total power-downs this week totaled 604K STEEM, down by about 12% from last week's 690K.
  • In terms of all comparison values except for TRX and USD, today's locked value is still higher than the January 1, 2022 baseline.


Here are the numbers as-of a few minutes ago:

Total value locked in powered-up STEEM (USD): $41,895,905.13
STEEM market cap $105,249,786.96

VESTED STEEM

Modeled value of powered-up STEEM in terms of USD

In terms of USD, we saw a weekly decrease of about 20 million dollars, or 33%. With today's observation at $41 million, the value may have bounced off its May 12 bottom near $34 million, and it remains above the lows from June, 2021.

Modeled value of powered-up STEEM in terms of Tron (TRX)

TRX has shown continuing strength in a mostly down market, and gained ground against powered-up STEEM by about 100 million tokens or 14%. This staying power may make the Steem ecosystem more attractive to some because the Steem blockchain provides a mechanism for people to get TRX tokens by blogging and curating Steem's social media content.

Modeled value of powered-up STEEM in terms of Steem Dollars

Modeled value of powered-up STEEM as a percentage of Steem's market cap

Running basically flat for the last five weeks, with an anomalous spike on April 27.

After three months of upslope, the graph seems to have leveled off. Will it hold above 39%? Will it go above 40%?

After experiencing the lowest exchange rate decline for the last 3 months.

In my opinion, the weakening of the exchange rate that occurred a few days ago was due to the market's panic response to the crypto tragedy that befell Luna. And at that time, almost all cryptocurrencies experienced a decline in their exchange rate against the USD.

Now, the graph shows, where currently, the Steem exchange rate is strengthening daily by an average of above 5%. and is showing signs that it will strengthen again, which penetrated the strengthening above the April 26 exchange rate.

Hopefully

We should always be prepared for such drops in cryptocurrencies. We need to make moves so that anything can happen at any moment. Steem is also affected in every way. Steem price is dropping. Fewer posts are written. Less steem staked.

I see the graphs and I remember some friends saying and cursing, this cryptocurrency market has left me in ruin, I invested a lot of capital here and my returns have not been as expected, my answer, patience, this market is too volatile and manipulated, It's not the first time we see this, don't curse, it's not good to do it, we usually regret it later

This week is totally horrible for crypto and the crypto related people. Most of the coin has faced a great dumped in price. BTC is under $30k!!! After a long time. I am shocked to see terra chain. Basically LUNA and UST. Among this horrible maket, steem still hold $42 million staked value, is amazing. Steem is king....

The distribution system of current reward will increase the value of Steem and SBD both because it will help to hold more Steem Power for every users and SBD value will increase for less distribution than before. Thanks for your deep analysis.

Later, more information is given regarding the powerdown and that Steem is correct, as was given to us in the past weeks. This week's crash was a big crash

There was a big fall of LUNA and UST last last week. I think it was the main reason of crashing crypto market. The market is recovering again but It's need some more time. Thank you.

It's an impressive research paper. I care a lot about the data coming this week. It is important whether there is a correlation with the price or not.

Even in this panic market situation, steem is handling it's price too well. That's why steem is one of the most trustable coin in blockchain.
