View ChartStatus is a pioneering project in the Web3 space, aiming to build a secure, private, and decentralized communication platform that integrates messaging, a crypto wallet, and a DApp browser.
Status is an open-source messaging platform and gateway to the decentralized web, built on the Ethereum blockchain. The SNT token is central to the ecosystem, used for governance, paying for premium services like push notifications, and curating content. It operates as a mobile-first application, prioritizing user privacy and data sovereignty by avoiding centralized servers. The project is developed by a global community of contributors under the Status Network, a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). Users can trade SNT on major exchanges like BTCC via spot or perpetual contract trading pairs.
Status is a decentralized application suite that functions as a private messenger, secure crypto wallet, and Web3 browser, all powered by the SNT utility token.

Status was co-founded by Carl Bennetts and Jarrad Hope. The project began in 2017 with a vision to build tools for secure, censorship-resistant communication. It was developed as an open-source project from the outset, funded through one of the early and significant Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs). Today, development is primarily steered by the Status Network, a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) where SNT token holders can propose and vote on governance decisions. This structure ensures the project evolves according to the community's will rather than a centralized corporate entity.
The Status app operates on a peer-to-peer (P2P) network protocol, meaning messages and transactions are sent directly between users' devices without passing through a central server. This architecture enhances privacy and resistance to censorship.
Status stands out by combining several critical Web3 primitives into a single, mobile-optimized application. Its core value propositions are:
The SNT token is a multi-purpose utility token within the Status ecosystem:
The Status ecosystem is evolving through continuous protocol development and community initiatives. Key development areas include enhancing the scalability and reliability of the Waku messaging protocol and improving the overall user experience of the mobile app. The Status Network DAO actively funds working groups and community projects that align with its mission, such as privacy research, developer tooling, and outreach programs. The focus remains on building robust infrastructure for decentralized communication and fostering a strong, engaged community of users and contributors.
SNT is not a mineable cryptocurrency. It is an ERC-20 utility token issued on the Ethereum blockchain. All 6.8 billion SNT tokens were created at genesis during the project's initial token distribution event (ICO). New SNT tokens are not generated through mining. The only way to acquire SNT is by purchasing it on a cryptocurrency exchange or earning it through community participation and governance activities within the Status ecosystem.
As an ERC-20 token, SNT's security depends on the safety of the Ethereum wallet holding it.
SNT is a well-established cryptocurrency listed on many exchanges. For higher liquidity and a secure trading experience, using a major platform like BTCC is recommended.

Status (SNT) is a fixed-supply ERC-20 token on Ethereum, so it has no mining and no native proof-of-stake consensus of its own. Staking is not yet live as a core protocol feature; the Status community has repeatedly discussed SNT staking as a potential use case, alongside governance voting, Community Directory curation and ENS name lockups.
If staking is introduced, the likely design is lock-up rather than new issuance. Because SNT has a fixed total supply of about 6.8B tokens, staking rewards would probably come from existing reserves, fees or community pools, not from inflation. That matters for price: locking tokens reduces free float and sell pressure, which can tighten supply, while any reward distribution from reserves could add gradual selling. Net effect depends on how much supply is locked versus how much is released. In short, staking could support SNT's long-term price mainly through reduced circulating float and stronger holder alignment, not through inflationary dilution.
Status (SNT) is a light-client gateway to Ethereum: a secure messenger, self-custody wallet and Web3 browser in one app. Its value is tied to how many people use that gateway and how much on-chain activity flows through it.
Network upgrades that improve speed, reduce sync cost and smooth wallet UX make the Status app more usable, which can lift daily active users and demand for SNT in governance, Community Directory voting and ENS name lockups. Growth in Ethereum L2s and DeFi expands the number of DApps and assets the browser can reach, so a better Status client captures more of that activity. More usage means more transactions, more token utility and potentially more lock-up, which tightens circulating supply.
Note that SNT is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum, so it also benefits indirectly from Ethereum's own scaling and fee-burn dynamics, which raise the base-layer network's health. The link is indirect but real: ecosystem growth raises SNT's utility surface, and utility is what supports long-term demand.
A spot ETF is a regulated fund that holds the underlying asset and issues shares that trade on traditional stock exchanges. If a Status (SNT) spot ETF were approved, it would let institutional and retail investors gain exposure through standard brokerage accounts, without managing wallets or private keys.
For SNT, sustained institutional inflows would likely raise liquidity and legitimacy. Deeper liquidity narrows spreads and reduces slippage, making SNT easier to trade in size. Institutional custody and disclosure requirements can also improve the token's credibility with conservative allocators, which may support a higher price floor over time.
That said, an ETF is not guaranteed. Approval depends on regulatory review, market surveillance and custody arrangements. Even without an ETF, rising institutional adoption through custody providers, OTC desks and regulated venues would have a similar effect: more stable demand, better market depth and a stronger long-term base for SNT. Treat ETF news as a potential catalyst, not a certainty.
Status (SNT) and Bitcoin (BTC) sit at very different points on the risk curve. SNT is a fixed-supply ERC-20 utility token powering a privacy-focused Web3 messenger, wallet and browser, while BTC is the largest decentralized store-of-value network. The table below summarizes the core differences.
| Dimension | Status (SNT) | Bitcoin (BTC) |
|---|---|---|
| Core Positioning | Web3 messaging, wallet and browser gateway | Digital store of value and settlement layer |
| Supply Model | Fixed supply ERC-20, about 6.8B total | Capped at 21M, halving issuance |
| Consensus | Ethereum ERC-20 token, no own consensus | Proof of Work, independent chain |
| Main Use Cases | Governance, curation, ENS lockups, app access | Payments, reserve asset, ETF exposure |
For investors, BTC typically offers lower volatility and deeper liquidity, while SNT carries higher beta and higher upside potential if its ecosystem grows. Position sizing should reflect that gap.
On BTCC, SNT/USDT perpetual contracts support stop-loss (SL) and take-profit (TP) orders that trigger automatically once price reaches your level. Use them to cap downside and lock in gains.
Always set SL and TP before confirming the order, and avoid placing the SL too close to entry, where normal volatility can stop you out early.
The current price of Status (SNT) is $0.008636, with a market cap of $41.931189M and 24h trading volume of $3.500114M. The circulating supply is 4.81B (max supply ∞).
SNT is a fixed-supply ERC-20 token on Ethereum, first released in 2017, and it powers the Status messaging, wallet and Web3 browser ecosystem. Because crypto markets trade 24/7, these figures move constantly, so always check the live data before acting.
For real-time pricing, order-book depth and recent trades, open the SNT/USDT perpetual contract page on BTCC. There you can view the live chart, funding rate and available leverage, and place orders directly from the same screen.
Status (SNT) responds to three layers of drivers. No single factor moves the market on its own, so read them together.
Trading volume and liquidity amplify all three layers. Treat every figure as information, not financial advice, since crypto remains highly volatile.
The all-time high of Status (SNT) is $0.675945, reached on 2018-01-04 03:35; the all-time low is $0.004603, recorded on 2026-08-15 12:00.
These two points frame the token's full market cycle. SNT launched in 2017 and has since traded through extreme swings, so the distance between its peak and its low reflects both the broader crypto cycle and the project's own adoption curve. ATH and ATL levels are useful reference zones for long-term charts, but they are historical records, not forecasts.
To inspect the full-cycle chart, open the SNT/USDT page on BTCC and switch the timeframe to weekly or monthly. You can overlay moving averages and volume to see how price behaved around those extremes, and use the same view to plan entries, exits and stop-loss levels.
Candlesticks summarize price action over a fixed period and are the core tool for reading SNT/USDT futures.
Combine these signals before placing a trade on BTCC.
You can profit from a falling Status (SNT) price without holding spot, by shorting SNT/USDT perpetual contracts on BTCC. A short position gains when price falls and loses when price rises.
The mechanics are simple: open a short at a higher price, then close the position by buying back at a lower price. The difference between the two prices is your profit, minus fees and funding. Because perpetual contracts settle in USDT, you do not need to borrow or hold the underlying token.
This gives traders a two-way opportunity: long in uptrends and short in downtrends or pullbacks. In a bear market or a sharp correction, shorting can be the primary way to capture moves. Always attach a stop-loss above key resistance to limit losses if price reverses, and size positions so a single wrong trade does not erase your account.
Yes. BTCC offers flexible leverage on SNT/USDT perpetual contracts, up to 50x, subject to the platform's risk rules and position-size limits. Higher leverage means a smaller margin requirement for the same position size.
Leverage magnifies both gains and losses. At 50x, a 2% adverse move can wipe out the margin backing the position, so risk management is essential. Use stop-loss orders on every trade and avoid concentrating the whole account in one position.
Beginners should start at 2x to 10x, where normal market swings are less likely to trigger forced liquidation. As you gain experience reading SNT charts, you can adjust leverage gradually. Check the SNT/USDT contract page on BTCC for current leverage tiers, margin requirements and funding rates before you trade.
After registering on BTCC, you can switch to Demo Trading mode and receive virtual funds, for example 100,000 USDT, to practice without risking real money. The demo environment uses real Status (SNT) market data, so prices, charts and order behavior mirror the live market.
Inside the demo account you can practice the full workflow: adjusting leverage, choosing margin mode, placing long and short orders, and setting take-profit and stop-loss levels. Because the funds are virtual, you can test aggressive strategies, learn how liquidation works, and build discipline around risk management before committing capital.
When you feel ready, switch back to the live account, deposit USDT and apply the same process to SNT/USDT perpetual contracts on BTCC. Treat the demo phase as rehearsal, not a guarantee of live results.
Buying and trading Status (SNT) on BTCC takes four steps.
