Gridcoin GRC

Where GRC sits in the market

Gridcoin ranks #2094, in the top of the long tail, just below the band most screeners still cover, far outside the set of assets that carry continuous market-maker coverage. At this end of the table the first question is data integrity rather than valuation: a quote can originate from a single pool or a single venue, reported volume is difficult to verify independently, and the distance between the last print and a genuinely executable price can be wide. Treat any indicator computed on this series as provisional.

We are not currently receiving a live GRC 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.

GRC against its all-time high

Gridcoin's record high is $0.2142, set on 2018-01-09. 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 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 GRC price — a stale or single-pool number would make that percentage look precise when it is not.

GRC across its historical range

GRC has traded across a 353x range, between $0.00060646 and $0.2142. Any volatility figure quoted for this asset depends heavily on which part of that range it is measured over.

The record low of $0.00060646 was printed on 2015-06-04 — 11 years ago. We have no live quote to measure the current distance from it.

GRC supply and valuation data

Supply figures for GRC 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 $3.1 million as of 2026-05-12. That sits around the middle of the distribution — roughly half the assets tracked here carry a smaller 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 GRC is

Gridcoin is a base-layer network, so GRC 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 GRC 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 GRC under 5 categories, including DePIN, Decentralized Science (DeSci), Proof of Stake (PoS), Proof of Work (PoW).
