Polkamarkets POLK

What POLK actually is on-chain

Polkamarkets is an ERC-20 deployed on Ethereum, at contract address 0xd478161c952357f05f0292b56012cd8457f1cfbf. That address, not the ticker POLK, is what uniquely identifies this asset: anyone can deploy a second token calling itself POLK, but the contract is unforgeable. Verify it against etherscan.io before sending funds or approving a spend.

Because it lives on Ethereum, POLK is held in any EVM-compatible wallet, transfers are paid for in ETH rather than in POLK 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 POLK the project publishes an active account as @polkamarkets. 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 POLK sits in the market

Polkamarkets ranks #3983, in the upper long tail, past the point where most data providers stop publishing supply figures, 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.

CryptoPingAi is currently streaming 1 live POLK order book (Gate.io). That is thinner coverage than a #3983 ranking would normally imply — a move on one of these books is close to the whole market for POLK, with no deep second venue to arbitrage it back. None of the books we see for POLK 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.

POLK against its all-time high

More than 95% separates POLK from its all-time high of $4.18 (on 2021-03-16) — a 3,291x 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 POLK now is the downside, so read the range section below before this one. It was set 6 years ago. A reference that old says more about the cycle it belongs to than about the asset as it trades now.

POLK across its historical range

POLK has traded across a 1,265x range, between $0.00330555 and $4.18. Any volatility figure quoted for this asset depends heavily on which part of that range it is measured over.

At -61.6% above its record low of $0.00330555 (on 2026-02-24), POLK 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. 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.

POLK supply and valuation data

Supply figures for POLK 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 $411 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 etherscan.io reports for this contract.

What kind of asset POLK is

Polkamarkets is a DeFi protocol token, which ties it to total value locked and to the interest-rate environment on-chain. These assets carry a beta to the market plus a second exposure that is easy to miss: protocol risk. A contract exploit or an oracle failure repriced instantly and independently of any market move, and that tail is a real component of holding the token.

CoinGecko files POLK under 4 categories, including Gambling (GambleFi), Decentralized Finance (DeFi), Prediction Markets, Ethereum Ecosystem. CoinGecko also records deployments on Ethereum (3,072 tracked tokens), so its on-chain liquidity and its user base move with that network.
