What Streamr DATAcoin coordinates
Streamr DATAcoin (DATA) is an AI / DePIN infrastructure token, currently ranked 152nd by market capitalization among the assets we track. Rather than a payments coin, Streamr DATAcoin is the settlement and incentive layer for a distributed infrastructure network. The token's job is to bootstrap supply of a useful resource and pay for its consumption.
Streamr DATAcoin (DATA) is a cryptocurrency that powers the Streamr decentralized data network, enabling real-time data sharing and monetization for users. It aims to facilitate the exchange of data between devices securely and efficiently.
How the network bootstraps supply and demand
The durable version of Streamr DATAcoin is one where actual usage — inference, storage, connectivity — generates revenue that exceeds the incentives paid out. Until then, much of the demand for the token is subsidy-driven.
DATA is not mined; it is issued as a token rather than secured by its own mining or staking layer.
Background & fundamentals
Streamr DATAcoin first went live in 2017, giving it roughly 9 years of on-chain price history to draw on. Streamr DATAcoin operates under a centralized structure, which concentrates protocol decisions in an identifiable issuer or foundation. A documented core team of 19 contributors is listed publicly, a depth of disclosed staffing many long-tail tokens lack.
Its codebase is open-source, meaning the implementation can be audited rather than taken on trust. The project publishes a whitepaper documenting its original design, which is worth reading before sizing any position in DATA. CoinPaprika classifies the project's development status as "On-going development".
In sector terms it is most often filed under Smart Contracts, Ethereum (ETH) Token (ERC-20), and Monetization.
Where Streamr DATAcoin sits in the market
Trading around $0.2923, Streamr DATAcoin carries a market capitalization of $224.26M. Around $110.20K changes hands across exchanges in a typical 24-hour window. That is a turnover of about 0.05% of the float — on the quieter side, which can mean thinner liquidity for large orders.
Only ~57% of the 2B-DATA maximum supply is circulating today, so emissions remain a live factor in price discovery. DATA trades about -22% below its all-time high of $0.3746, within reach of prior peaks.

How to evaluate an AI/DePIN token like Streamr DATAcoin
A grounded read on DATA comes down to three questions:
- Real demand — paying usage of the network's resource, not just provider rewards funded by DATA emissions.
- Supply growth — how much real-world or compute capacity the network has actually brought online.
- Token economics — whether DATA demand can outgrow the incentives the protocol pays to bootstrap it.
