Vertcoin VTC

What VTC actually is on-chain

Vertcoin is not a token issued on someone else's network — it settles on its own base layer, which means there is no contract address to verify and no issuer who can freeze or reissue it. Supply and transfer rules are enforced by the chain's own consensus, so the risks worth tracking are protocol risks (client bugs, hash-rate or validator concentration) rather than token-contract risks.

For VTC the project publishes a whitepaper, a public source repository and an active account as @vertcoin. 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 VTC sits in the market

Vertcoin sits at #1851, inside the lower small-cap band. Depth here is shallow enough that one large order walks the book several percent and the print mean-reverts within the same session — which is why a single fixed price level is a fragile trigger, and a condition that tolerates one wick is the more useful construction. Listings are concentrated across a small number of venues, so volume-driven delisting is an active risk here rather than a hypothetical one.

We are not currently receiving a live VTC 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. VTC settles on its own base layer, its own base layer, so any trading that does happen is on centralised venues rather than in on-chain pools.

VTC against its all-time high

Vertcoin's record high is $9.80, set on 2017-12-05. That high sits in a range where whole-cent and whole-unit levels are genuinely traded, which makes them usable as alert thresholds if a quote returns. It was set 9 years ago. A peak that old describes a supply structure and a holder base that have almost certainly turned over since. We are not quoting a drawdown from it because no tracked venue is giving us a live VTC price — a stale or single-pool number would make that percentage look precise when it is not.

VTC across its historical range

VTC has traded across a 1,544x range, between $0.00634731 and $9.80. Any volatility figure quoted for this asset depends heavily on which part of that range it is measured over.

The record low of $0.00634731 was printed on 2015-05-04 — 11 years ago. We have no live quote to measure the current distance from it.

VTC supply and valuation data

Supply figures for VTC 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 $3.9 million as of 2026-05-12. That is in the upper quartile of tracked assets by fully diluted value.

That valuation is a point-in-time snapshot, not a live figure, so we deliberately avoid dividing it back into a token count — the price has moved since, and the arithmetic would yield a precise-looking supply number that is simply wrong. Read the current supply from the project's own explorer before relying on any per-token valuation. The authoritative figure is the one chainz.cryptoid.info reports for this contract.

What kind of asset VTC is

Vertcoin is a base-layer network, so VTC 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. Because it is secured by proof of work, new VTC arrives on a fixed schedule and is paid to miners who carry real energy costs — a structural, price-insensitive source of sell pressure that proof-of-stake chains do not have.

CoinGecko files VTC under 2 categories, including Proof of Work (PoW).

How to set a Vertcoin alert that is worth receiving
