Ankr Network ANKR

What ANKR actually is on-chain

Ankr Network is an ERC-20 deployed on Ethereum, at contract address 0x8290333cef9e6d528dd5618fb97a76f268f3edd4. That address, not the ticker ANKR, is what uniquely identifies this asset: anyone can deploy a second token calling itself ANKR, but the contract is unforgeable. Verify it against etherscan.io before sending funds or approving a spend.

Because it lives on Ethereum, ANKR is held in any EVM-compatible wallet, transfers are paid for in ETH rather than in ANKR 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 ANKR the project publishes a whitepaper, a public source repository and an active account as @ankr. Both a written specification and readable code exist, which is a materially higher bar than most assets in this size range clear. 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 ANKR sits in the market

#496 places Ankr Network in the bottom of the mid-cap band. At this end of the mid-cap band listing status is not a fixed property. Exchanges review names like ANKR on volume grounds, and a delisting notice repricing the asset faster than any chart pattern is a more realistic tail risk than anything in the indicator set.

CryptoPingAi is currently streaming 6 live ANKR order books (Binance, Bybit, Gate.io, HTX, Upbit, Bithumb). That is wider coverage than most assets ranked near #496 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.

ANKR against its all-time high

ANKR is more than 95% below its all-time high of $0.2135 (on 2021-04-16) — a 60.0x gap. At this point the record has essentially no analytical value: it belongs to a different supply structure, a different holder base and often a different market cycle. The useful reference for ANKR is the downside, not the peak, so the range section below matters more than this one. It was set 6 years ago. A reference that old says more about the cycle it belongs to than about the asset as it trades now.

ANKR across its historical range

ANKR has traded across a 302x range, between $0.00070728 and $0.2135. Any volatility figure quoted for this asset depends heavily on which part of that range it is measured over.

ANKR trades roughly 5.03x above its record low of $0.00070728 (on 2020-03-13). Recovery from the bottom has been limited, which means the low is still close enough to function as a real reference level rather than a historical footnote.

ANKR supply structure

ANKR has a hard cap of 10.00 billion ANKR, with 10.00 billion of it already in circulation — 100.0% issued. Issuance is effectively finished, so there is no scheduled dilution: every future change in market value has to come from price, not from supply mechanics. That removes one of the two variables you would otherwise have to track.

What kind of asset ANKR is

Ankr Network is a DeFi protocol token, which ties it to total value locked and to the interest-rate environment on-chain. These assets carry a beta to the market plus a second exposure that is easy to miss: protocol risk. A contract exploit or an oracle failure repriced instantly and independently of any market move, and that tail is a real component of holding the token.

CoinGecko files ANKR under 10 categories, including BNB Chain Ecosystem, Avalanche Ecosystem, Polygon Ecosystem, Fantom Ecosystem, Arbitrum Ecosystem. CoinGecko also records deployments on BNB Chain (2,027 tracked tokens), Avalanche (256 tracked tokens), Polygon (531 tracked tokens), so on-chain liquidity is split across several networks and the cheapest venue depends on which deployment you are trading.
