Token need ranking: does anyone have to buy the token?
Snapshot 2026-10-12 · 300 tokens
This is the data behind Does anyone have to buy your token? Every coin in the top 300 by market cap, after removing stablecoins, wrapped tokens, liquid staking tokens, tokenized funds, stocks and commodities.
Required demand is how much people had to pay in the token itself just to use the product over the past year: fees that cannot be paid any other way. It is shown in dollars and as a share of the token's market cap, which tells you how much buying the token's own use actually forced. It is not revenue, not what the protocol keeps, and not a price forecast.
- 3 every use requires spending or locking the token 2 only some use 1 optional perks 0 no requirement
- Burn or buyback is tokens destroyed or bought back over the trailing year. When the burn is the required fee it is already counted in required demand; when protocol revenue pays for it, nobody had to buy the token to use the product.
- unverified marks burn and buyback figures the research report could not verify (AAVE, ASTER, CRO, EDGE, PYTH). They are shown, not relied on.
