Basic Attention Token (BAT) price today

BAT's total supply is fixed at 1.5 billion, there is no mining or staking issuance, and nearly all of the supply already circulates. Price changes therefore come mostly from demand and from how existing holders behave. Some BAT reaches users as Brave Rewards payouts, and recipients who convert it to other assets add to selling on the market.

Demand is closely linked to Brave itself: the number of people using the browser and opting in to Rewards, advertiser spending on Brave Ads, changes to how and where rewards are paid, and new uses of BAT inside Brave's products. Developments in privacy regulation and in the wider digital advertising market can influence sentiment as well.

Like most altcoins, BAT is also affected by the direction of Bitcoin and Ethereum, by general risk appetite across financial markets, and by exchange listings or delistings that change where and how easily it can be traded.

BAT can be kept in your EX5 account, where EX5 holds the keys on your behalf and the tokens are ready to trade; protect the account with a strong password and two-factor authentication. If you prefer self-custody, any Ethereum wallet that supports ERC-20 tokens can hold BAT, including hardware wallets and the wallet built into the Brave browser. You are then responsible for backing up the recovery phrase, and you need some ETH to pay network fees when sending BAT.

EX5 supports BAT deposits and withdrawals on the Ethereum network only, and deposits are credited after 15 confirmations. BAT held on other chains, such as bridged versions, is not supported: sending it, or sending to a mistyped address, can lead to permanent loss. Check the network before every transfer; the current withdrawal fee and minimum amount appear in the networks section of this page.
