BerachainBERA
The coin of Berachain, a blockchain whose rewards are steered toward apps that supply trading liquidity.
The short version
BERA pays fees and is staked on Berachain, an Ethereum-compatible blockchain whose 'Proof of Liquidity' design directs rewards to liquidity providers; since the PoL Next upgrade of 8 Jul 2026 it uses BERA alone instead of a second reward token. Its co-founders are pseudonymous, and investors led by Polychain, Brevan Howard's Nova fund and Framework put in about US$142M. Nasdaq-listed Greenlane holds about 81.3M BERA. On 31 Oct 2026 one BERA cost C$0.1964. From 31 Jul 2026 to 31 Oct 2026 its price changed -8.6% in Canadian dollars, and it was 99.1% below its all-time high of C$21.26 set on 6 Feb 2025.[1]
