Ion ION

What ION actually is on-chain

2 other assets tracked on this site also use the ticker ION: Ice Open Network (BNB Chain, 0xe1ab…5ea8); Ionic Protocol (Base, 0x3ee5…22e5). 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 ION the project publishes an active account as @osmosiszone. 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 ION sits in the market

Ion ranks #4008, in the middle of the long tail, where listing status changes more often than price does, 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 ION 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. ION is a a Cosmos SDK chain asset, so whatever turnover exists is most likely in Osmosis pools rather than on a centralised book, and every fill there costs the chain's own gas token in gas on top of the pool's own fee.

ION against its all-time high

Ion's record high is $22,355, set on 2022-01-16. A high in this range means ION 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 5 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 ION price — a stale or single-pool number would make that percentage look precise when it is not.

ION across its historical range

The full recorded range for ION spans 60,523,608x — from $0.00036936 at the low to $22,355 at the high. A range that wide is not volatility in the ordinary sense; it is the signature of an asset that repriced from a near-zero base, and percentage-based indicators behave very differently across it.

The record low of $0.00036936 was printed on 2023-08-23 — 3 years ago. We have no live quote to measure the current distance from it.

ION supply and valuation data

At #4008 there is no reliable third-party supply audit for ION at all — token counts this far down the table are frequently restated, and we would rather show nothing than show a number that moves without notice. What we do have is a fully diluted valuation of $974 thousand 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.

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 www.mintscan.io reports for this contract.

What kind of asset ION is

Ion is a base-layer network, so ION 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. It is secured by proof of stake, so a portion of the supply is bonded to validators at any moment and the float genuinely available to trade is smaller than the circulating figure implies; unstaking queues, not order books, set how fast that can change.

CoinGecko files ION under 3 categories, including Osmosis Ecosystem, Proof of Stake (PoS).
