# BAND-USD: Research Summary as of August 19, 2026

## Current Price and Market Snapshot

As of recent data, BAND-USD is trading at approximately **$0.15–$0.17 USD**, with 24-hour trading volume around $3.5 million [[18]](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/band-protocol/)[[25]](https://crypto.news/price/band-protocol/)[[26]](https://crypto.com/us/price/band-protocol). The circulating supply stands at approximately **179.07 million BAND** [[11]](https://www.kucoin.com/price/BAND). Notably, BAND hit a low of **$0.136 on July 1, 2026** [[12]](https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/BANDUSD/), suggesting a modest recovery from that trough but still trading far below the $0.96–$1.23 range that some price prediction models had anticipated for 2026 [[14]](https://changelly.com/blog/band-protocol-band-price-prediction/)[[22]](https://cryptodisrupt.com/predictions/band-protocol-price-prediction). This stark disconnect between prediction models and actual price underscores the speculative and uncertain nature of such forecasts.
