Current STEEM Market Snapshot (13 December)
Below is the current market data for STEEM which gives us a realistic picture of where the project stands today:
- Market Cap: $37 516 709
- Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV): $37 532 874
- 24-Hour Trading Volume: $7 192 431
- Circulating Supply: 534 174 542 STEEM
- Total Supply: 534 404 704 STEEM
- Max Supply: ∞ (Unlimited)
Important Observation:
Market Cap and FDV are almost the same which means almost all STEEM is already in circulation. There is no hidden future supply shock but inflation and constant selling still apply.
What These Numbers Tell Us (Fact Based Interpretation)
** Low Market Cap = Low Investor Confidence**
A market cap of ~$37 million places STEEM far below many active altcoins.
This indicates:
- limited external capital
- low institutional interest
- weak speculative demand.
Fact: Big money follows growth and innovation not history alone.
Trading Volume Is Modest Not Strong
The 24-hour trading volume of ~$7.1M shows:
- some activity exists
- but not enough buying pressure to drive price upward sustainably.
A healthy bullish trend usually requires high volume + increasing demand STEEM currently lacks both.
Unlimited Max Supply Creates Long-Term Pressure
STEEM has no maximum supply meaning:
- new STEEM continues to be created through rewards
- inflation is ongoing
- sell pressure never truly stops.
Fact: Coins with unlimited supply must rely heavily on utility and demand to maintain value something STEEM currently lacks.
Circulating vs Total Supply Shows a Mature Token
With over 534 million STEEM already circulating STEEM is no longer an “early stage” token.
This means:
- future price growth must come from real adoption not hype
- no “supply surprise” can pump the price.
Key Reasons STEEM Price Remains Weak (Todays Reality)
Supply > Demand
Daily selling from:
- power downs
- reward conversions
- inactive users exiting
is higher than new buying demand.
Price Is Driven by Selling Not Usage
STEEM is mostly used for:
- earning rewards
- converting to liquid STEEM
- selling on exchanges.
There are very few external use cases like:
- payments
- DeFi
- NFTs
- cross-chain integrations.
Tokens without strong utility struggle to hold value.
Weak Investor Confidence
Investors want:
- active development
- innovation
- roadmap
- transparency.
At the moment:
- no major new projects
- no public roadmap
- no strong marketing push.
This creates hesitation and keeps capital away.
STEEM Underperforms Compared to the Market
When Bitcoin or altcoins show recovery:
- STEEM reacts slowly
- gains are smaller
- drops are faster.
This is a clear sign of low speculative interest.
Important Truth Many Users Ignore
Even if:
- posting increases
- contests run
- engagement improves
STEEM price will NOT automatically increase.
Why?
Because price depends on:
- buyers vs sellers
- liquidity
- investor confidence
- real external demand.
Community activity is important but market demand decides price.
Can STEEM Price Improve in the Future? (Realistic View)
Yes but only if fundamentals change such as:
new development initiatives
real utility beyond blogging
marketing outside Steemit
reduced sell pressure
modern Web3 integrations
Without these changes STEEM is likely to
- move sideways
- remain low priced
- depend only on internal users.
What STEEM Users Should Focus On Now
Instead of asking “When pump?” we should focus on:
- creating long term value
- supporting genuine content
- reducing unnecessary selling
- encouraging transparency
- pushing for development and innovation.
Final Thoughts | 13 December
STEEM is not dead but its price reflects its current reality.
Market cap volume and supply numbers clearly show:
- limited demand
- weak confidence
- lack of innovation.
Price does not move on hope or loyalty it moves on utility trust and adoption.
If Steemit evolves STEEM can recover.
If not the price will continue to tell the truth.
