BUSD BUSD

What BUSD actually is on-chain

BUSD is an ERC-20 deployed on Ethereum, at contract address 0x4fabb145d64652a948d72533023f6e7a623c7c53. That address, not the ticker BUSD, is what uniquely identifies this asset: anyone can deploy a second token calling itself BUSD, but the contract is unforgeable. Verify it against etherscan.io before sending funds or approving a spend.

Because it lives on Ethereum, BUSD is held in any EVM-compatible wallet, transfers are paid for in ETH rather than in BUSD 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 BUSD the project publishes a public source repository and an active account as @PaxosGlobal. 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 BUSD sits in the market

At #583, BUSD is in the top of the small-cap band. Books at this depth are thin enough that one sizeable market order can move the printed price by several percent and retrace within minutes, which is precisely why a single static price target makes a poor trigger — you want a condition that survives one wick. Availability is concentrated in a handful of venues and volume-based delisting is a live risk rather than a theoretical one.

We are not currently receiving a live BUSD order book from any of the exchanges connected to this site, so no real-time quote is shown above. That is itself information: it usually means the pair is unlisted on the venues we track, or trading has been halted. BUSD is a Ethereum asset, so whatever turnover exists is most likely in Uniswap-style AMM pools rather than on a centralised book, and every fill there costs ETH in gas on top of the pool's own fee.

BUSD against its all-time high

BUSD's record high is $2.58, set on 2024-11-10. That high sits in a range where whole-cent and whole-unit levels are genuinely traded, which makes them usable as alert thresholds if a quote returns. It was set roughly 2 years ago, so it belongs to the current cycle but not to current conditions. We are not quoting a drawdown from it because no tracked venue is giving us a live BUSD price — a stale or single-pool number would make that percentage look precise when it is not.

BUSD across its historical range

The recorded range runs 23.0x, from $0.1122 to $2.58 — wide by the standards of traditional assets, moderate for this one's class.

The record low of $0.1122 was printed on 2025-06-21 — roughly 1 years ago. We have no live quote to measure the current distance from it.

BUSD supply and valuation data

BUSD sits just outside the band where circulating and total supply are independently verified, so we hold a valuation figure for BUSD but not an audited token count. What we do have is a fully diluted valuation of $34.3 million as of 2026-10-30. That places it in the top 10% by fully diluted value.

Because that valuation is a snapshot rather than a live figure, we deliberately do not back out a supply number from it — the price has moved since, and the division would produce a confident-looking token count that is simply wrong. Check the project's own explorer for the current supply before using any per-token valuation. The authoritative figure is the one etherscan.io reports for this contract.

What kind of asset BUSD is

BUSD is pegged to the US dollar, so the only price question that matters is whether the peg holds; trend and momentum readings on a dollar peg describe noise, not direction. It is backed by off-chain reserves, which moves the risk from smart-contract code to custody and disclosure: who holds the reserves, what they are held in, and how often that is attested. Those are the questions that decide whether the peg survives a redemption wave. It is small for a stablecoin, and at this size the peg depends heavily on one or two liquidity pools; thin-book depegs here say more about liquidity than about solvency.

CoinGecko files BUSD under 4 categories, including Stablecoins, USD Stablecoin, Ethereum Ecosystem, Fiat-backed Stablecoin. CoinGecko also records deployments on Ethereum (3,072 tracked tokens), so its on-chain liquidity and its user base move with that network.
