1INCH 1INCH

What 1INCH actually is on-chain

1INCH is an ERC-20 deployed on Ethereum, at contract address 0x111111111117dc0aa78b770fa6a738034120c302. That address, not the ticker 1INCH, is what uniquely identifies this asset: anyone can deploy a second token calling itself 1INCH, but the contract is unforgeable. Verify it against etherscan.io before sending funds or approving a spend.

Because it lives on Ethereum, 1INCH is held in any EVM-compatible wallet, transfers are paid for in ETH rather than in 1INCH itself, and secondary liquidity sits in Uniswap-style AMM pools. Two consequences follow for anyone setting alerts: you need ETH in the same wallet to move the token at all, and a quoted price taken from a pool is a pool price — it includes slippage that an order-book quote would not.

For 1INCH the project publishes a public source repository and an active account as @1inch. That is a partial paper trail — enough to check claims against, not enough to audit. None of it is a quality judgement about the asset; it is simply what can be independently checked before the chart is worth looking at.

Where 1INCH sits in the market

#242 places 1INCH in the upper mid-cap band. This is where continuous two-sided quoting stops being guaranteed. 1INCH still prints regularly, but the depth behind each print thins out through the session, and the same order that barely registers in the morning can set the day's high in a quieter hour.

CryptoPingAi is currently streaming 7 live 1INCH order books (Binance, Bybit, OKX, Gate.io, HTX, Upbit…). That is wider coverage than most assets ranked near #242 carry, so a divergence on any one of them is far more likely to be a local liquidity event than a genuine repricing. One of them is a Korean won market, so the Kimchi-premium spread between the KRW and USDT quote is visible on this page.

1INCH against its all-time high

More than 95% separates 1INCH from its all-time high of $8.65 (on 2021-10-27) — a 110x recovery. At that distance the high stops working as a reference at all; it belongs to a different supply structure, a different holder base and typically a different cycle. What carries information for 1INCH now is the downside, so read the range section below before this one. It was set 5 years ago. A reference that old says more about the cycle it belongs to than about the asset as it trades now.

1INCH across its historical range

1INCH has traded across a 133x range, between $0.0649 and $8.65. Any volatility figure quoted for this asset depends heavily on which part of that range it is measured over.

At 21.3% above its record low of $0.0649 (on 2026-07-01), 1INCH sits near the edge of its own price history. Nothing has traded beneath that level, so there is no support to reference, no volume shelf and no cost-basis cluster underneath. That low is recent, so this is an active downtrend rather than an old floor holding: each fresh low retires the previous one as a reference.

1INCH supply structure

Of a capped 1.50 billion 1INCH, 1.41 billion is circulating — 93.7% issued, with 94.4 million still to be created. The remaining issuance is small enough that emission is a second-order influence on price, but the schedule still matters for anyone modelling multi-year supply.

What kind of asset 1INCH is

1INCH is a decentralised exchange token. The economics are unusually legible for crypto: the protocol generates fees from trading volume, and the token's value proposition rests on whether it captures any of them. Volume on the underlying venue, the fee switch status and competitive pressure from other venues are the variables that actually matter — and DEX volume is itself highly cyclical, so revenue is not a stable base.

CoinGecko files 1INCH under 10 categories, including Decentralized Exchange (DEX), Exchange-based Tokens, Decentralized Finance (DeFi), Automated Market Maker (AMM), BNB Chain Ecosystem. CoinGecko also records deployments on BNB Chain (2,027 tracked tokens), Avalanche (256 tracked tokens), Arbitrum (391 tracked tokens), so on-chain liquidity is split across several networks and the cheapest venue depends on which deployment you are trading.
