Filecoin FIL

Where FIL sits in the market

At #77, Filecoin sits in the bottom of the large-cap band, adjacent to the mid-cap cut-off. Down here the large-cap label is doing less work than it appears to. FIL is one revision away from the mid-cap band, and the practical consequences of crossing that line — index eligibility, market-maker commitments, how much size the book absorbs — change well before the ranking does.

CryptoPingAi is currently streaming 6 live FIL order books (Binance, Gate.io, MEXC, HTX, Upbit, Bithumb). That is coverage in line with a #77 ranking: enough books to cross-check a quote, few enough that one of them can dominate price formation for hours at a time. One of them is a Korean won market, so the Kimchi-premium spread between the KRW and USDT quote is visible on this page.

FIL against its all-time high

FIL is down more than 95% from its $236.84 peak (on 2021-04-01), leaving a 280x gap to reclaim. A drawdown this deep strips the record of analytical use: the supply structure, the holder base and usually the market cycle behind that print no longer exist. For FIL the informative reference is the downside, which makes the range section below more relevant 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.

FIL across its historical range

FIL has traded across a 300x range, between $0.7902 and $236.84. Any volatility figure quoted for this asset depends heavily on which part of that range it is measured over.

FIL trades within 7.2% of the all-time low of $0.7902 set on 2026-03-29. Below that mark the chart is blank — no prior trading means no support level to cite, no volume shelf and no cluster of cost basis to lean on. Because that low is itself recent, the asset is in an active downtrend rather than sitting at an old floor — each new low invalidates the previous one as a reference.

FIL supply structure

Only 39.8% of FIL's 1.96 billion FIL total supply is circulating; 1.18 billion — 60.2% of the total — is not yet in the market. A float this narrow means the quoted price is set by a small fraction of the eventual supply, and the unlock schedule, not demand, is the dominant variable in the supply narrative. Thin float also amplifies both directions of any move.

What kind of asset FIL is

Filecoin is a base-layer network, so FIL 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.

CoinGecko files FIL under 10 categories, including Infrastructure, Storage, Layer 1 (L1), DePIN, Alleged SEC Securities. Worth flagging from the metadata: FIL has been named in SEC enforcement filings as an alleged security, and is a constituent of the GMCI 30 Index.
