# Numeraire (NMR/USD) — Research Snapshot as of 2026-10-07

*Note on naming: "NMR/USD" is just NMR priced in US dollars (the quote currency). NMR is not a security, ETF, or listed company — there are no filings, earnings, or share fundamentals. [[10]](https://www.marketbeat.com/cryptocurrencies/numeraire/)*

## What NMR is
NMR is the native token of **Numeraire**, the protocol behind **Numerai** — a crowdsourced, crypto-native quantitative hedge fund. Data scientists worldwide build machine-learning models in an encrypted tournament to forecast equity markets; the best models feed a "stake-weighted meta-model" that drives the fund's trading. NMR is the incentive layer: contributors stake tokens behind predictions, earning newly minted NMR when models succeed and burning tokens when they fail.
