IQ IQ

What IQ actually is on-chain

IQ is an ERC-20 deployed on Ethereum, at contract address 0x579cea1889991f68acc35ff5c3dd0621ff29b0c9. That address, not the ticker IQ, is what uniquely identifies this asset: anyone can deploy a second token calling itself IQ, but the contract is unforgeable. Verify it against etherscan.io before sending funds or approving a spend.

Because it lives on Ethereum, IQ is held in any EVM-compatible wallet, transfers are paid for in ETH rather than in IQ itself, and secondary liquidity sits in Uniswap-style AMM 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.

Another asset tracked on this site also uses the ticker IQ: IQ6900 [OLD] (Solana, AsyfR3…pump). The asset on this page is specifically the Ethereum deployment at 0x579c…b0c9. 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 IQ the project publishes a public source repository and an active account as @IQAICOM. 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 IQ sits in the market

Ranked #726, IQ falls in the top 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.

CryptoPingAi is currently streaming 4 live IQ order books (Binance, Gate.io, Upbit, Bithumb). That is coverage in line with a #726 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.

IQ against its all-time high

More than 95% separates IQ from its all-time high of $0.0724 (on 2018-07-16) — a 97.2x recovery. At that distance the high stops working as a reference at all; it belongs to a different supply structure, a different holder base and typically a different cycle. What carries information for IQ now is the downside, so read the range section below before this one. It was set 8 years ago. A reference that old says more about the cycle it belongs to than about the asset as it trades now.

IQ across its historical range

IQ has traded across a 115x range, between $0.00063047 and $0.0724. Any volatility figure quoted for this asset depends heavily on which part of that range it is measured over.

At 18.2% above its record low of $0.00063047 (on 2020-03-13), IQ sits near the edge of its own price history. Nothing has traded beneath that level, so there is no support to reference, no volume shelf and no cost-basis cluster underneath. The low is old enough to have held as a floor across several market regimes — a materially different setup from one printed recently.

IQ supply and valuation data

IQ sits just outside the band where circulating and total supply are independently verified, so we hold a valuation figure for IQ but not an audited token count. What we do have is a fully diluted valuation of $30.4 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 etherscan.io reports for this contract.

What kind of asset IQ is

IQ is tagged in the AI category, which in this market is a narrative cluster before it is a technical one. Assets here tend to move together on AI sentiment — often correlating with equity-market AI news rather than with the rest of crypto — and the correlation is strongest exactly when the narrative is hottest. That makes sector rotation, not project-specific news, the usual explanation for a large move.

CoinGecko files IQ under 10 categories, including Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data, Media, BNB Chain Ecosystem, Polygon Ecosystem. CoinGecko also records deployments on BNB Chain (2,027 tracked tokens), Polygon (531 tracked tokens), Ethereum (3,072 tracked tokens), so on-chain liquidity is split across several networks and the cheapest venue depends on which deployment you are trading. Worth flagging from the metadata: IQ appears in the Galaxy Digital portfolio.
