Supply release: when does the rest arrive?
No maximum supplyThere is no release date — XMR has no maximum supply.
New XMR is issued indefinitely under the network's own rules, so there is no point at which issuance finishes and no final total to count down to. Long-run scarcity depends on the issuance rate — and on any burning that offsets it — rather than on a hard cap.

About Monero
Monero is the best-known privacy coin: transactions hide sender, receiver and amount by default. That design has real users and real controversy — many regulated exchanges, including most Australian platforms, no longer list it.
Launched by a pseudonymous developer known as thankful_for_today (2014) — forked from Bytecoin and taken over almost immediately by a community team.
Monero in context
Monero trades 37% below its all-time high of A$1,194.33, set in January 2026. Over the past 90 days it has gained 37.5% in AUD terms, outperforming Bitcoin's +8.5% by 28.9 percentage points — one of the moves behind today's altcoin season index reading. Daily turnover runs at about 1.3% of its market value — comparatively thin trading, which can amplify moves in both directions.

When will the rest of the XMR supply be released?

New XMR is issued indefinitely under the network's own rules, so there is no point at which issuance finishes and no final total to count down to. Long-run scarcity depends on the issuance rate — and on any burning that offsets it — rather than on a hard cap.

Why does the XMR price here differ from prices I see in USD?
