Infrared faced backlash in January 2026 over its token allocation. According to widely circulated breakdowns, approximately 97% of total supply was reserved for the team, venture capital investors, centralized exchanges and market makers, with only 3% allocated to users. This account comes from public reporting and has not been confirmed by the project team.
Infrared has reported TVL of $500M+ (peak $1.7B), 400K+ users and 15.33K holders. These figures are as published by the project and are not real-time data.
IR is listed on several venues, including Binance Alpha and a Binance Wallet IDO, and price pages are available on CoinMarketCap, Crypto.com, Kraken, KuCoin and Coinbase. Crypto asset prices are highly volatile; this is not investment advice.
