What is Balancer (BAL)?
Balancer is a DeFi protocol that provides permissionless technology to streamline AMM development for developers and empower liquidity providers with an ever-expanding DEX product suite. This is made possible by unique ‘Vault’ architecture that formally defines the requirements of a custom pool and shifts core design patterns out of the pool into a separate ‘singleton contract’.
How does Balancer work?
With both internally developed pool types such as Weighted Pools, Boosted Pools, and LVR mitigating stableswaps, and also externally developed pools such as Elliptical Concentrated Liquidity, CoW AMMs, and FxPools, Balancer has arisen to be a focal source of fungible, yield-bearing, and MEV-mitigated liquidity.
Where can you buy Balancer?
Balancer (BAL) is traded on a wide range of centralized and decentralized exchanges. The most liquid markets for BAL sit on tier-1 venues - the sort of exchanges where institutional desks and professional market makers rebalance continuously - which is what keeps the spread tight and the last price tied closely to fair value.
You can open the Markets section above to see the live list of exchanges quoting BAL, sorted by 24-hour volume. Each row links to the venue's trade page so you can go directly from research to execution without copying the ticker around by hand.
What is the daily trading volume of Balancer (BAL)?
The reported 24-hour trading volume of Balancer is $361.89K. Volume is a live reading of how much BAL changed hands across all tracked exchanges in the past day and tends to rise during periods of price discovery and fall during consolidation.
For traders, the ratio between volume and market cap is often more informative than either number on its own: a high vol-to-mcap ratio indicates liquid, actively traded supply, while a low ratio suggests that most holders are sitting on the asset.
What is the highest and lowest price for Balancer (BAL)?
Balancer reached an all-time high of $74.45 on May 4, 2021, and an all-time low of $0.1260 on February 28, 2026. It is currently trading -99.79% from its peak and +22.40% from its bottom.
The distance from ATH is a useful gauge of recovery potential during a bear market and of stretched positioning during a bull market. Combined with the all-time-low figure it provides a quick statistical frame for thinking about where BAL sits in its long-run price range.
What is the market cap of Balancer (BAL)?
Balancer's market capitalization is currently $9.96M, and it is ranked #1264 by market cap on Cryptopricing. Market cap is calculated as the current price multiplied by the circulating supply (64.58 million BAL are actively circulating today).
Market cap is a common but imperfect measure. It reflects the theoretical value of every circulating token at the current market price, but it doesn't capture how thin the top of the order book might be - an important caveat for tokens with low floats or illiquid cap tables.
What is the fully diluted valuation of Balancer (BAL)?
The fully diluted valuation (FDV) of Balancer is $11.16M. FDV is a projection of what the market cap would be if every token that will ever exist - including those that have not yet been unlocked, mined or issued - were in circulation at the current price.
FDV is a useful second reading alongside market cap. A large gap between mcap and FDV signals that future token emissions could dilute current holders, while a small gap indicates that supply is already mostly out.
How does the price performance of Balancer compare against its peers?
Over the past 24 hours, Balancer has moved +1.24%. Over the past seven days, the change is -0.85%. Comparing these figures to the global crypto market cap change (shown in the ticker at the top of this page) tells you whether BAL is leading, lagging or tracking the broader market.

How to store Balancer?
Like any crypto asset, the right way to store BAL depends on how often you plan to use it. Long-term holders typically self-custody using a hardware wallet such as Ledger or Trezor, which keeps private keys offline and immune to most remote attacks.
For active traders, a reputable custodial exchange wallet can be appropriate, especially one with clear proof-of-reserves attestations. Whatever approach you choose, the most important rule is to keep your recovery phrase offline, never share it, and never enter it into a web form or attached to a DM - no legitimate support agent will ever ask for it.
