Non-Playable Coin NPC

What NPC actually is on-chain

Non-Playable Coin is an ERC-20 deployed on Ethereum, at contract address 0x8ed97a637a790be1feff5e888d43629dc05408f6. That address, not the ticker NPC, is what uniquely identifies this asset: anyone can deploy a second token calling itself NPC, but the contract is unforgeable. Verify it against etherscan.io before sending funds or approving a spend.

Because it lives on Ethereum, NPC is held in any EVM-compatible wallet, transfers are paid for in ETH rather than in NPC 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 NPC: NPC (Solana, Eq39Q9…k3Hb). The asset on this page is specifically the Ethereum deployment at 0x8ed9…08f6. 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 NPC the project publishes a whitepaper, a public source repository and an active account as @NonPlayableCoin. Both a written specification and readable code exist, which is a materially higher bar than most assets in this size range clear. 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 NPC sits in the market

#431 places Non-Playable Coin in the bottom of the mid-cap band. At this end of the mid-cap band listing status is not a fixed property. Exchanges review names like NPC on volume grounds, and a delisting notice repricing the asset faster than any chart pattern is a more realistic tail risk than anything in the indicator set.

CryptoPingAi is currently streaming 3 live NPC order books (Gate.io, MEXC, HTX). That is coverage in line with a #431 ranking: enough books to cross-check a quote, few enough that one of them can dominate price formation for hours at a time. None of the books we see for NPC are regulated US or Korean venues, so this is an offshore-quoted asset — availability, and the price itself, depend on which jurisdiction you trade from.

NPC against its all-time high

NPC is 77.3% off its $0.0662 high (on 2024-11-18). At this depth the arithmetic turns against a recovery narrative: getting back to the record takes 4.40x, not a rebound. The high is better read as the marker of a completed cycle than as a target — most of the holders above spot are underwater by enough that their behaviour on the way up is supply, not demand. That high was set roughly 2 years ago, recently enough that it still anchors how most current holders frame the asset.

NPC across its historical range

NPC has traded across a 1,451x range, between $0.00004561 and $0.0662. Any volatility figure quoted for this asset depends heavily on which part of that range it is measured over.

At 329x above the $0.00004561 record low (on 2023-08-13), long-term holders sit on returns large enough that ordinary drawdowns do not change their behaviour. Distribution pressure here is a function of holder age, not of the current chart.

NPC supply structure

NPC has a hard cap of 8.05 billion NPC, with 8.05 billion of it already in circulation — 100.0% issued. Issuance is effectively finished, so there is no scheduled dilution: every future change in market value has to come from price, not from supply mechanics. That removes one of the two variables you would otherwise have to track.

What kind of asset NPC is

Non-Playable Coin is a meme asset. There is no cash flow, no fee capture and no fundamental anchor to value it against, which is a description rather than a criticism — it means the price is set entirely by attention and reflexive flow. In practice, volume moves first and price follows, so a volume spike is the leading signal for this class while an oscillator reading is a lagging one. Moves are larger, faster and mean-revert harder than in assets with a revenue story.

CoinGecko files NPC under 10 categories, including NFT, BNB Chain Ecosystem, Solana Ecosystem, Meme, Ethereum Ecosystem. CoinGecko also records deployments on BNB Chain (2,027 tracked tokens), Solana (3,129 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.
