## Current Price & Recent Performance

As of August 13, 2026, AKT is trading at **$0.5394**, up 5.93% over the past week but down 19.52% over the past month [[1]](https://dmcnews.org/prices/akash-network/). This represents a significant decline from the ~$0.73 level reported as of late June 2026, when the token had a market cap near $215M, FDV near $217M, and approximately 292.1M of 388.5M max supply in circulation [[7]](https://www.kkdemian.com/blog/akash-network-akt-decentralized-gpu-compute-ai-cloud-value-capture). Despite the recent drawdown, AKT was reported up 72% year-to-date at some point earlier in 2026 [[5]](https://www.ainvest.com/news/akash-network-akt-surges-72-decentralized-compute-gains-institutional-traction-2605/), suggesting substantial volatility and a sharp pullback from mid-year highs.
