What’s Keeping HMSTR Price Below $0.1?

The HMSTR price looks unlikely to hit $0.1 anytime soon, considering that over 60% of the token’s supply was put in circulation following the Hamster Kombat airdrop. The HMSTR token also continues to witness significant selling pressure, which has led to a price drop of over 50% from its current all-time high (ATH).

What Is Keeping Hamster Kombat Below $0.1

The token’s circulating supply of 64.37 billion HMSTR is mainly what is keeping its price below $0.1. A rise to $0.1 means that the Hamster Kombat will have a market cap of $6.43 billion. However, for now, such a market cap for the crypto token is unlikely possible, considering the crypto market’s total market cap.

For the HMSTR price to attain such a market cap, the broader crypto market will need to experience exponential growth. For context, only the fifteen largest crypto tokens by market cap currently boast a market cap of $6.4 million and above. As such, it is unlikely that HMSTR will witness a price surge to $0.1 anytime soon.

Moreover, Hamster doesn’t have any predefined burn mechanism in place. As such, the token remains inflationary and would only become less valuable as they release more tokens into circulation. Hamster released a whopping 64% of its total supply of 100 billion HSMTR upon launch. 60% of the supply went to the community.

This was a bold move, considering that a significant number of these community members were already likely to dump their tokens upon receipt of their airdrop. This ultimately created a situation whereby the token’s supply exceeded its demand, which contributed to the downward pressure it faced upon launch. Despite its heavy popularity, the Hamster Kombat downtrend has continued.

The HMSTR price is currently down over 50% from its current ATH of $0.01004. The token could once again witness a supply shock when season 2 of the Hamster airdrop ends. However, the season 2 airdrop campaign won’t end until Q1 of next year, meaning that the token’s price could achieve some stability before then.

HMSTR Price To Recover Like NOT Did?

Crypto analyst Crypto Hunter has raised the possibility of Hamster Kombat enjoying a similar price recovery as Notcoin. The NOT token fell by 80% following the Notcoin airdrop earlier this year. However, the token went on to record a 5x increase in price after its initial price decline.

The analyst’s accompanying chart showed a similarity between both HMSTR and NOT’s price actions after their respective airdrops. In line, Crypto Hunter believes that Hamster Kombat has the potential to grow and rise above $0.01.

At the time of writing, HMSTR price is around $0.00479, up over 2% in the last 24 hours. However, trading volume is down by over 42%, with $78 million traded during this period.
