With a growing market cap (from $247M to $1.18B) as token supply increases, the projected token price remains more stable:
At 230M tokens: price is $1.07
At 500M tokens: price is ~$0.83
At 1B tokens: price is $1.18
This scenario assumes consistent market confidence and demand growth in line with token release. It highlights that price decline isn’t inevitable if fundamentals and adoption support increased valuation.
Whether a token priced at $1.16 is worth buying depends on a few key factors.
77% of tokens (770M) are yet to enter circulation.
Unless released slowly and with strong demand, this creates downward price pressure as supply increases.
95% of the supply, is not publicly available.
significant portion of LAYER tokens is allocated to core contributors, investors, and the Solayer Foundation, all of which are subject to vesting schedules. These allocations are currently locked but will gradually become available over time, potentially impacting the token’s distribution and market dynamics.
At $1.17, you’re taking on:
High valuation risk
Supply dilution risk
Unless the project has strong fundamentals and a clear growth path beyond $1.18B market cap, it’s likely better to wait for dips or enter at lower prices.
My suggestion to wait until it drops below 0.5$ at least as it might not see previous highs with increase supply
