Ontology ONT

Where ONT sits in the market

#429 places Ontology in the lower mid-cap band. At this end of the mid-cap band listing status is not a fixed property. Exchanges review names like ONT 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 5 live ONT order books (Binance, Gate.io, HTX, Upbit, Bithumb). That is coverage in line with a #429 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.

ONT against its all-time high

ONT is down more than 95% from its $10.92 peak (on 2018-05-03), leaving a 239x gap to reclaim. A drawdown this deep strips the record of analytical use: the supply structure, the holder base and usually the market cycle behind that print no longer exist. For ONT the informative reference is the downside, which makes the range section below more relevant than 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.

ONT across its historical range

ONT has traded across a 280x range, between $0.0391 and $10.92. Any volatility figure quoted for this asset depends heavily on which part of that range it is measured over.

ONT trades within 16.8% of the all-time low of $0.0391 set on 2026-03-08. Below that mark the chart is blank — no prior trading means no support level to cite, no volume shelf and no cluster of cost basis to lean on. Because that low is itself recent, the asset is in an active downtrend rather than sitting at an old floor — each new low invalidates the previous one as a reference.

ONT supply structure

There is no fixed maximum supply for ONT. Total supply stands at 1.00 billion ONT and essentially all of it — 100.0% — is circulating. With no locked treasury to unlock, dilution comes from protocol issuance over time rather than from a cliff on a vesting calendar, which tends to produce slow supply drift instead of discrete unlock shocks. With a supply in the billions, the quoted price is low enough that a single cent of movement is a large percentage swing; size your thresholds in percent, not in cents.

What kind of asset ONT is

Ontology is a base-layer network, so ONT 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.
