MESSIER M87

What M87 actually is on-chain

MESSIER is an ERC-20 deployed on Ethereum, at contract address 0x80122c6a83c8202ea365233363d3f4837d13e888. That address, not the ticker M87, is what uniquely identifies this asset: anyone can deploy a second token calling itself M87, but the contract is unforgeable. Verify it against etherscan.io before sending funds or approving a spend.

Because it lives on Ethereum, M87 is held in any EVM-compatible wallet, transfers are paid for in ETH rather than in M87 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.

For M87 the project publishes a public source repository and an active account as @MessierM87. 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 M87 sits in the market

At #1627, MESSIER is in the lower small-cap band. Books at this depth are thin enough that one sizeable market order can move the printed price by several percent and retrace within minutes, which is precisely why a single static price target makes a poor trigger — you want a condition that survives one wick. Availability is concentrated in a handful of venues and volume-based delisting is a live risk rather than a theoretical one.

We are not currently receiving a live M87 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. M87 is a Ethereum asset, so whatever turnover exists is most likely in Uniswap-style AMM pools rather than on a centralised book, and every fill there costs ETH in gas on top of the pool's own fee.

M87 against its all-time high

MESSIER's record high is $0.00014578, set on 2024-12-12. At sub-cent levels a single tick is a large percentage move, so any alert on M87 should be expressed in percent rather than in an absolute price step. 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 M87 price — a stale or single-pool number would make that percentage look precise when it is not.

M87 across its historical range

M87 has traded across a 4,859x range, between $3.00e-08 and $0.00014578. Any volatility figure quoted for this asset depends heavily on which part of that range it is measured over.

The record low of $3.00e-08 was printed on 2023-08-09 — 3 years ago. We have no live quote to measure the current distance from it.

M87 supply and valuation data

Supply figures for M87 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 $5.9 million as of 2026-05-12. That is in the upper quartile of tracked assets by 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. The authoritative figure is the one etherscan.io reports for this contract.

What kind of asset M87 is

MESSIER 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 M87 under 5 categories, including Artificial Intelligence (AI), Decentralized Exchange (DEX), Decentralized Finance (DeFi), Ethereum Ecosystem, Zero Knowledge (ZK). CoinGecko also records deployments on Ethereum (3,072 tracked tokens), so its on-chain liquidity and its user base move with that network.
