What is ICON (ICX)?
Founded in August 2017, ICON has spent many years fostering its L1 ecosystem and pushing for sustainable cross-chain development infrastructure. As many apps experience cross-chain difficulties today, ICON recognizes the frustration regarding the complexity involved with security, scaling and speed in cross-chain environments. Apps use ICON to operate cross-chain seamlessly, build momentum and gain a solid reputation. ICON's Cross-Chain Framework helps to simplify cross-chain development with its easy-to-use xCall General Message Passing and connections to secure bridging protocols.
How does ICON work?
Visit the ICON Community website for an up to date overview of connected blockchains. Check out the documentation and see if your favorite application is compatible with the ICON Cross-Chain Framework! What Makes ICON Unique? The ICON Cross-Chain Framework consists of a robust L1 blockchain, xCall General Message Passing and a growing list of connected blockchains and integrated bridging protocols. ICON's native ICX coin fuels this interoperability by acting as the L1 gas token, xCall cross-chain fee token with associated applications.

Where can you buy ICON?
ICON (ICX) is traded on a wide range of centralized and decentralized exchanges.

What is the daily trading volume of ICON (ICX)?
The reported 24-hour trading volume of ICON is $942.40K. Volume is a live reading of how much ICX changed hands across all tracked exchanges in the past day and tends to rise during periods of price discovery and fall during consolidation.
For traders, the ratio between volume and market cap is often more informative than either number on its own: a high vol-to-mcap ratio indicates liquid, actively traded supply, while a low ratio suggests that most holders are sitting on the asset.
What is the highest and lowest price for ICON (ICX)?
ICON reached an all-time high of $13.16 on January 9, 2018, and an all-time low of $0.0326 on March 29, 2026. It is currently trading -99.71% from its peak and +19.27% from its bottom.
The distance from ATH is a useful gauge of recovery potential during a bear market and of stretched positioning during a bull market. Combined with the all-time-low figure it provides a quick statistical frame for thinking about where ICX sits in its long-run price range.
What is the market cap of ICON (ICX)?
ICON's market capitalization is currently $42.53M, and it is ranked #553 by market cap on Cryptopricing. Market cap is calculated as the current price multiplied by the circulating supply (1.10 billion ICX are actively circulating today).
Market cap is a common but imperfect measure. It reflects the theoretical value of every circulating token at the current market price, but it doesn't capture how thin the top of the order book might be - an important caveat for tokens with low floats or illiquid cap tables.
What is the fully diluted valuation of ICON (ICX)?
The fully diluted valuation (FDV) of ICON is $43.01M. FDV is a projection of what the market cap would be if every token that will ever exist - including those that have not yet been unlocked, mined or issued - were in circulation at the current price.
FDV is a useful second reading alongside market cap. A large gap between mcap and FDV signals that future token emissions could dilute current holders, while a small gap indicates that supply is already mostly out.
How does the price performance of ICON compare against its peers?
Over the past 24 hours, ICON has moved -3.20%. Over the past seven days, the change is +0.69%. Comparing these figures to the global crypto market cap change (shown in the ticker at the top of this page) tells you whether ICX is leading, lagging or tracking the broader market.

How to store ICON?
Like any crypto asset, the right way to store ICX depends on how often you plan to use it. Long-term holders typically self-custody using a hardware wallet such as Ledger or Trezor, which keeps private keys offline and immune to most remote attacks.
For active traders, a reputable custodial exchange wallet can be appropriate, especially one with clear proof-of-reserves attestations. Whatever approach you choose, the most important rule is to keep your recovery phrase offline, never share it, and never enter it into a web form or attached to a DM - no legitimate support agent will ever ask for it.
