Where BEAN lives: supply by blockchain

  1. Ethereum$33.4M100.0%

Supply is concentrated: Ethereum holds 100% of all BEAN. Moving it to another chain means bridging, or a mint and redeem through the issuer.

How BEAN is backed

BEAN relies mainly on code and market incentives, rather than full reserves, to hold its peg. This design has historically been the most fragile.

Minting and redemption: Beanstalk uses the liquidity and time weighted average shortage or excess of Beans in the BEAN:3CRV pool to dynamically increase the Bean supply or burn it and issue debt in order to maintain its peg.

BEAN risks

Reflexive collapse

With little hard collateral, falling confidence can feed on itself, the pattern that destroyed TerraUSD in 2022.

Small and thinly traded

With $33.4M in circulation, exiting a large position may move the price. Redemption may be limited to approved customers.

Regulation

Rules such as the US GENIUS Act and the EU's MiCA can restrict which stablecoins exchanges list in a given country.
