Counterparty XCP

Where XCP sits in the market

At #1850, Counterparty is in the lower 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 XCP 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.

XCP against its all-time high

Counterparty's record high is $91.13, set on 2018-01-10. A high in this range means XCP carries a meaningful unit price, so round-number levels near the peak tend to be watched as references in their own right. It was set 9 years ago. A peak that old describes a supply structure and a holder base that have almost certainly turned over since. We are not quoting a drawdown from it because no tracked venue is giving us a live XCP price — a stale or single-pool number would make that percentage look precise when it is not.

XCP across its historical range

XCP has traded across a 678x range, between $0.1344 and $91.13. Any volatility figure quoted for this asset depends heavily on which part of that range it is measured over.

The record low of $0.1344 was printed on 2019-10-25 — 7 years ago. We have no live quote to measure the current distance from it.

XCP supply and valuation data

Supply figures for XCP are self-reported at this rank rather than reconciled against the chain, so we publish the valuation we have and not a circulating-supply number we cannot check. What we do have is a fully diluted valuation of $3.8 million as of 2026-05-12. That is in the upper quartile of tracked assets 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.

What kind of asset XCP is

Counterparty is a base-layer network, so XCP is simultaneously the chain's security budget and its unit of account rather than a claim on a business. Value accrual runs through validator economics and through whatever activity settles on the chain itself. Because it is secured by proof of work, new XCP arrives on a fixed schedule and is paid to miners who carry real energy costs — a structural, price-insensitive source of sell pressure that proof-of-stake chains do not have.

CoinGecko files XCP under 2 categories, including Proof of Work (PoW).
