Defi.money MONEY

What MONEY actually is on-chain

Defi.money is an ERC-20 deployed on Optimism, at contract address 0x69420f9e38a4e60a62224c489be4bf7a94402496. That address, not the ticker MONEY, is what uniquely identifies this asset: anyone can deploy a second token calling itself MONEY, but the contract is unforgeable. Verify it against optimistic.etherscan.io before sending funds or approving a spend.

Because it lives on Optimism, MONEY is held in any EVM-compatible wallet, transfers are paid for in ETH rather than in MONEY itself, and secondary liquidity sits in Velodrome and Uniswap 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.

2 other assets tracked on this site also use the ticker MONEY: BESC MONEY (BNB Chain, 0x4ffe…60d9); Money Printer (Solana, 2Mpjia…bonk). The asset on this page is specifically the Optimism deployment at 0x6942…2496. These are unrelated tokens with separate contracts, separate supply and separate price histories — a price alert set on one of them says nothing about the others, and a ticker search is not enough to tell them apart.

For MONEY the project publishes a public source repository and an active account as @defidotmoney. 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 MONEY sits in the market

Ranked #1255, Defi.money falls in the middle of the small-cap band. The order book absorbs size poorly at this depth: one meaningful market order can reprice the tape by several percent before it retraces minutes later. A lone static price target therefore fires on noise, and what you want is a condition built to survive that wick. Venue coverage is narrow, which makes volume-based delisting a concrete risk rather than a theoretical one.

We are not currently receiving a live MONEY 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. MONEY is a Optimism asset, so whatever turnover exists is most likely in Velodrome and Uniswap pools rather than on a centralised book, and every fill there costs ETH in gas on top of the pool's own fee.

MONEY against its all-time high

Defi.money's record high is $1.06, set on 2025-03-05. 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 MONEY price — a stale or single-pool number would make that percentage look precise when it is not.

MONEY across its historical range

The recorded range is comparatively narrow: 1.10x between $0.9578 and $1.06. Either the price history is short, or the asset is designed not to move.

The record low of $0.9578 was printed on 2024-08-05 — roughly 2 years ago. We have no live quote to measure the current distance from it.

MONEY supply and valuation data

Defi.money sits just outside the band where circulating and total supply are independently verified, so we hold a valuation figure for MONEY but not an audited token count. What we do have is a fully diluted valuation of $10.0 million as of 2026-05-12. That is in the upper quartile of tracked assets by fully diluted value.

Since the figure is a snapshot rather than a live number, we do not reverse it into a supply count: the price has moved since it was taken, and that division would produce a confident but incorrect token count. For any per-token valuation, check the current supply on the project's own explorer first. The authoritative figure is the one optimistic.etherscan.io reports for this contract.

What kind of asset MONEY is

Defi.money 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 MONEY under 6 categories, including Stablecoins, Decentralized Finance (DeFi), USD Stablecoin, Arbitrum Ecosystem, Optimism Ecosystem. CoinGecko also records deployments on Arbitrum (391 tracked tokens), Optimism (125 tracked tokens), so on-chain liquidity is split across several networks and the cheapest venue depends on which deployment you are trading.
