3/ 💰 Tokenomics

- $1INCH currently has a market cap of ~$255M (can fluctuate between $240–$300M). ATH price reached $8.65 (27/10/2021) and ATL $0.1495 (9/4/2025). The decline from ATH → ATL is about 58×, and with the current price of ~$0.18, it is still –98% compared to ATH; the current price is about ~1.2× ATL. Circulating supply ~1.39B/1.5B total.

- According to unlock and on-chain information, 1inch has fully unlocked. And the 1inch fund is gathering its own tokens and BTC, ETH (but they prioritize BTC and ETH more)


4/ Ecosystem & Dev

- The network contributes through 1inch Earn, Fusion Engine, Limit Order Protocol, Cross-chain Routing.

- Allows swapping across multiple chains like Ethereum, BNB, Base, OP, with notable growth in Base & BNB (BNB transactions +52.9% QoQ; Base +22.7%).

- Integration with Hyperliquid – order-book platform, margin trading, staking 1INCH.


5/ 🛣️ Roadmap & future direction

- Fusion Mode & Earn Pools: enhance swap optimization, increase fee-sharing & yield.

- Expanding chains: prioritizing Base, BNB, OP… boosting cross-chain routing.

- Staking & margin features: partnering with Hyperliquid to enhance 1INCH utility.

- Revenue-sharing model: developing “Earn” pools and DAO governance to encourage holding and using the token.


6/ ✅ & ⚠️ Opportunities – Challenges

✅ Very strong revenue fee (~$200M/quarter).

✅ The token has been strongly deflationary – supporting a burn/reward mechanism.

✅ Diverse integrations & a well-developed ecosystem.

⚠️ The price is still significantly lower than ATH – affecting psychology & market capitalization.

⚠️ Competition from other aggregators & strong AMMs like Uniswap v4, Pancake Infinity.

⚠️ The strategy to maintain user numbers and increase TVL needs to continue to be strengthened.


7/ 📌 Conclusion

1inch maintains a leading position in the DEX aggregator space with an average volume of $422M/day and a revenue fee potential of ~200M USD/quarter. Although the token has “dropped” about 98% since the peak, the deflationary mechanism, expanded roadmap for staking – cross-chain and order-book margin integration help 1inch have a long-term development foundation. The key is to strengthen adoption, utility of the token, and maintain technological leadership compared to competitors.
