IoTeX (IOTX) Price Prediction 2026, 2027 and 2030: How Tangible Is the IoTeX Roadmap?

Last Updated: October 28, 2026

Quick Answer: IoTeX (IOTX) trades near $0.0036 as of October 28, 2026, with a market cap of about $34 million (about #500 on CoinMarketCap). It is down about 53% since the end of 2025 and about 98.6% below its all-time high of $0.261 from November 2021. Central estimates from the three models we track put IOTX between about $0.0017 (CoinLore) and $0.0036 (Changelly) at the end of 2026, two of them below today’s price, and between about $0.0011 (CoinCodex and Changelly) and $0.0059 (CoinLore) in 2030. In 2026, IoTeX’s ioTube bridge was exploited in February, according to IoTeX, and Coinbase ended IOTX trading in September, according to reports.

IoTeX is a layer 1 blockchain that started as an Internet of Things network and now describes itself as “the open ecosystem for real-world AI.” Under its IoTeX 2.0 plan, it offers tools such as ioID, a device identity layer, and W3bstream, which verifies device data before it reaches the chain. The IOTX price peaked on January 10, fell about 78% to its 2026 low on July 29, rose about 131% to an intraday high on October 22 and has since fallen about 23%.

This update covers the current IOTX price, the main 2026 developments, the latest forecasts for 2026 to 2030 and 2040, and what it would take for IOTX to reach $0.1, $0.20 or $1.

Key Takeaways

• IOTX trades about 98.6% below its all-time high of $0.261, set on November 13, 2021, and about 2.9 times its all-time low of $0.0012 from October 10, 2025
• The token is down about 53% since the end of 2025: it reached $0.0093 intraday on January 10, hit its 2026 low of $0.0020 on July 29 and gained about 6% in October through October 27
• ioTube bridge exploit: on February 21, an attacker drained about $4.4 million from the Ethereum side of IoTeX’s bridge and minted 410 million CIOTX, according to IoTeX, which says the IoTeX chain was not compromised and pledged full compensation
• Coinbase ended IOTX trading in September; IOTX still trades on Binance, KuCoin, Gate, Crypto.com and Bithumb
• About 94.4% of the 10 billion maximum supply circulates, CoinMarketCap tracks no unlocks, and IoTeX said about 40% of eligible supply was staked at the end of 2025
• Central estimates from the three current models we track put IOTX between about $0.0017 and $0.0036 at the end of 2026, two of them below today’s price, and between about $0.0011 and $0.0059 in 2030

IoTeX (IOTX) Key Data (October 2026)

Sources: CoinMarketCap, CoinGecko and IoTeX. CoinGecko shows the same supply and all-time low but ranks IOTX outside the top 600 and lists an all-time high of $0.2556. This article measures the year-to-date change from the December 31, 2025 close; CoinMarketCap’s own figure starts from the January 1 close and shows a decline of about 54%. The fully diluted value uses the 10 billion maximum; CoinMarketCap lists a total supply of about 9.44 billion, about 559 million below the maximum, without a breakdown.

What Is IoTeX (IOTX)?

IoTeX is a layer 1 blockchain; CoinMarketCap has tracked its IOTX coin since May 2018. It began as a network for connected devices and now presents itself as infrastructure for “real-world AI,” which its 2025 review describes as “the first verifiable blockchain infrastructure purpose-built to connect machines to intelligence.” According to the same review, the network averaged about 196,600 transactions a day in 2025 and handles up to 2,000 transactions per second with two-second finality after its v2.3.0 upgrade.

In July 2024, IoTeX described IoTeX 2.0 as an upgrade “from a Layer 1 public chain to an open, modular DePIN platform,” with a goal of onboarding 100 million devices within three to five years. DePIN stands for decentralized physical infrastructure networks, in which people or companies contribute hardware and data in exchange for tokens. The main building blocks are:

• ioID: a decentralized identity layer that pairs a real device, such as a vehicle, sensor or piece of infrastructure, with an onchain wallet, without personal data. IoTeX said it was on track to reach 1 million ioIDs by the end of 2025, but its 2025 review gives no final count.
• W3bstream: an off-chain layer that, in IoTeX’s words, provides “the computation and verification of real-world data, bringing it on-chain.”
• Quicksilver: a gateway that lets AI agents request and check live machine data; IoTeX says usage peaked at more than 3,000 agent queries a day in 2025.

IOTX is the native coin of the IoTeX chain. It pays for transactions and is staked to secure the network and vote in governance, and IoTeX’s token page also lists data access and incentives for device operators among its roles. More background is available on the official IoTeX website. Device counts, query numbers and staking figures in this section come from the company.

IoTeX News: What Has Happened in 2026

ioTube bridge exploit. On February 21, an attacker upgraded a validator contract on the Ethereum side of ioTube, IoTeX’s cross-chain bridge, to a malicious version, minted 410 million CIOTX, a bridged version of IOTX, and drained about $4.4 million in reserve assets, according to IoTeX’s incident reports. IoTeX said the attacker had gained access after compromising “an employee’s machine through a suspected social engineering attack,” and that “the IoTeX L1 chain itself was never compromised.” Validators paused the chain as a precaution on February 21, and it came back online on February 24 with an update that froze about 45 million IOTX in attacker wallets. IoTeX reported the incident to the FBI and other law enforcement agencies and worked with Binance and more than 20 other exchange partners on freezes. IOTX fell about 10% on February 21 and was about 22% below its February 20 close at its low on February 23.

Compensation and bridge changes. IoTeX pledged that “every affected user will receive 100% compensation,” paid from its foundation treasury in stablecoins and other non-IOTX reserves, with no IOTX sold on public markets. Its claims portal opened on March 2: users who lost up to $10,000 are repaid in full at once, while larger claims receive $10,000 at once and the rest in quarterly payments over 12 months. Governance proposal IIP-56, which deprecates CIOTX on all networks, has passed, and IIP-57, a proposal for a bridge secured by zero-knowledge proofs, was in community review as of IoTeX’s March 28 report. IoTeX says the total and circulating supply of IOTX were not affected.

Korean exchanges. According to IoTeX, Upbit, Bithumb and Coinone issued an investment warning for IOTX after the incident, and, as of IoTeX’s March 28 report, the warning had been lifted. At our October 28 check, Bithumb’s market data showed no warning on its IOTX/KRW market, and Upbit listed IOTX only against Bitcoin, with no trades in the previous 24 hours.

Coinbase ends trading. Coinbase ended IOTX trading on September 23, according to reports, which say the move followed a regular review of listed assets and that Coinbase gave no specific reason for IOTX. Coinbase’s exchange data now lists IOTX-USD as delisted, and the same reports say balances remain available for withdrawal. IOTX closed about 13% lower that day.

Strategy updates. On March 9, IoTeX published what it called an “Anti-Roadmap” for 2026, explaining that it would not commit to a fixed timeline. Its 2025 review said 2026 would focus on edge AI, with a small set of products to commercialize. In April, it outlined a long-term plan for post-quantum security, and on June 19 it introduced Trio, which it calls a world model for physical operations.

2025 groundwork. In August 2025, IOTX was added to CF Benchmarks, which launched an institutional IOTX reference index, and IoTeX announced an investment from Animoca Brands. In September 2025, IOTX became available through N26 and Sumeria in Europe and CoinTrade in Japan, and in December IoTeX published a MiCA-compliant whitepaper for the EU. IoTeX names Vodafone among the founding alignment partners of its Real-World AI Foundry, launched in October 2025, and its 2025 review says IoTeX partnered with Pairpoint by Vodafone and Chainlink so that assets such as cell towers and connected devices can prove real-world usage onchain. Neither source gives figures for Vodafone devices or nodes on the network.

Volume spike. On August 9, IOTX jumped as much as 49% intraday on its highest trading volume of the year, about $62 million, before closing 7% higher. We found no announcement that explains the move.

IOTX Price History

IOTX’s record run peaked in November 2021. On November 10, it rose about 120% in a day on volume of about $3.9 billion and closed at a record $0.236, with a market cap of about $2.25 billion. It set its all-time high of $0.261 three days later. The token lost 83% in 2022, more than doubled in 2023, fell 24% in 2024 and lost 80% in 2025, when it also set its all-time low of $0.0012 on October 10.

In 2026, IOTX reached $0.0093 intraday on January 10, about 23% above its 2025 close. It fell 15% on February 5, when a market-wide sell-off cut Bitcoin by about 14%, and lost 24% in February, the month of the bridge exploit. June was its worst month, with a loss of about 39%, and it hit its 2026 low of $0.0020 on July 29. August was its best month, with a gain of about 32%, followed by about 21% in September, and IOTX is up about 6% for October through October 27.

IoTeX Price Prediction 2026

With about two months left in the year, two of the three models we track put IOTX below today’s price at the end of 2026, while Changelly expects it to stay close to current levels.

CoinCodex puts IOTX at an average of about $0.0031 in December, about 13% below today’s price; its headline target is the top of its December range. CoinLore’s base case of $0.00165, given only in its text, would be a fall of about 54%, while its bull case of $0.0111 would be about 3.1 times today’s price. CoinLore’s own short-term table points to about $0.0038 at the end of October, and its page does not explain the gap. Changelly’s December 2026 average of $0.00362 is about 1% above today’s price, and its monthly table starts in October at $0.00363. All three pages are dated October 28 and show a price close to today’s.

We do not use the figures from CoinDataFlow, whose IOTX forecasts were almost the same multiples of the current price as its forecasts for other coins we checked, or from BeInCrypto, whose IoTeX forecast page we could not open.

IOTX trades about 1% above its 50-day moving average of $0.003548 and about 4% above its 200-day average of $0.003442, with a 14-day RSI of about 49, according to CoinCodex.

Traders often pair these readings with trend tools such as the Parabolic SAR indicator.

Range of central 2026 estimates: about $0.0017 to $0.0036.

Blockchainreporter Scenario Range for the End of 2026

Unlike the model forecasts above, this range is Blockchainreporter’s own. It shows where IOTX could close on December 31, 2026 if it keeps the volatility of the past 90 days, without assuming a trend in either direction. It is a scenario range, not a price target or investment advice.

How we calculated it: IOTX traded at about $0.0032 on CoinGecko on November 5, 2026, and its daily moves over the previous 90 days imply annualized volatility of about 95%. Projecting that volatility over the 56 days to the December 31 close, with no trend, half of the modeled outcomes fall inside the base range, one in ten ends above the bull figure and one in ten ends below the bear figure. Crypto prices have fatter tails than this model assumes, so moves beyond the bear and bull figures are more likely than it suggests. Blockchainreporter’s Crypto Price Prediction Tracker records this range and will score it against CoinMarketCap’s December 31 close in January 2027.

IoTeX Price Prediction 2027

The central 2027 estimates range from about $0.0024 at CoinLore, about 33% below today’s price, to $0.0030 at Changelly, about 17% below, with CoinCodex at about $0.0026, about 26% below. CoinCodex’s monthly range peaks at $0.00376 in January 2027, just above today’s price, and its December average is about $0.0021. CoinLore’s bull case of $0.0163 is almost seven times its own base case. All three models are built mainly on past prices.

IoTeX Price Prediction 2028 and 2029

For 2028 and 2029, central estimates range from about $0.0010 to $0.0039. CoinCodex’s and Changelly’s paths keep falling, to about $0.00083 (CoinCodex’s December 2029 average) and $0.00106 (Changelly’s 2029 figure), while CoinLore’s base cases sit about 4% and 10% above today’s price. CoinLore’s bull case for 2029 ($0.0451) is higher than its bull case for 2030 ($0.0304).

IoTeX Price Prediction 2030

The central estimates for 2030 point in opposite directions. CoinCodex’s average of about $0.0011 would be a fall of about 69%, and its headline target of $0.001050, within its December 2030 range, a fall of about 71%. Changelly’s average of $0.00111 would be a fall of about 69%, in line with CoinCodex. CoinLore’s base case of $0.00591 would be a gain of about 65%. CoinLore’s page says IOTX may climb to $0.03 by 2030, but that is its bull case, about 8.5 times the current price.

All forecasts are third-party model estimates, not investment advice.

IoTeX Price Prediction 2040

Long-range forecasts are highly speculative. CoinCodex projects about $0.000055 by 2040, about 98% below today’s price. Changelly puts IOTX at about $0.000049 in 2040, about 99% below today’s price. CoinLore is far more optimistic, with a base case of $0.0471, about 13 times today’s price, and a bull case of $0.135; its text rounds the latter to $0.13.

What Drives the IOTX Price?

• Exchange access: Coinbase ended IOTX trading in September. IOTX’s 24-hour volume of about $0.96 million is about 29% of its 2026 daily average of $3.3 million.
• Security and trust: the February bridge exploit, the compensation program and a future replacement bridge will shape how exchanges and users view the network.
• Real-world AI and DePIN use: demand depends on whether ioID, Quicksilver and newer products such as Trio attract paying users; most usage figures come from IoTeX.
• Supply and staking: about 94.4% of the supply already circulates. Under its Burn-Drop design from 2020, IoTeX planned to burn 900 million IOTX as 1 million devices joined, but its token page gives no figure for tokens burned so far. IoTeX said 40.3% of eligible supply was staked at the end of 2025.
• The wider market: like most altcoins, IOTX tends to move with Bitcoin and overall risk appetite, as on February 5, when IOTX fell 15% and Bitcoin about 14%. Our Bitcoin price prediction covers the market leader.

Can IOTX Reach $0.1, $0.20 or $1?

Not on the central estimates of any model we track through 2041; the highest is CoinLore’s 2040 base case of $0.0471. Only CoinLore’s bull cases pass $0.1, starting with $0.1153 for 2039, and none of its figures reaches $0.20, the all-time high or $1; its highest is $0.137 for 2041. CoinCodex’s monthly forecasts stay below $0.004 through 2030, and Changelly’s yearly figures peak at $0.00384, for 2027. With about 9.44 billion IOTX in circulation, each price level implies a market cap that can be compared with other coins.

At $0.1, IOTX’s market cap would be about 42% of its record of about $2.25 billion from November 10, 2021, and its fully diluted value would be $1 billion. At $1, it would need a market cap more than four times that record. Because almost all of the supply already circulates, a higher price would have to come from demand: real use of ioID, Quicksilver and the IoTeX chain by device makers and AI developers, new major listings to replace Coinbase, a secure replacement bridge and a strong altcoin market. Our XYO price prediction covers another DePIN project, and our JasmyCoin price prediction covers a token tied to IoT data.

Key Risks of IOTX

• Deep drawdown: IOTX trades about 98.6% below its 2021 high, about 53% below its 2025 close and about 69% lower than a year ago
• Security: the February exploit hit IoTeX’s own bridge, and IoTeX said the attacker compromised an employee’s machine through a suspected social engineering attack
• Listings: Coinbase ended IOTX trading in September, according to reports, and Upbit’s only IOTX market, against Bitcoin, recorded no trades in the 24 hours before our October 28 check
• Thin liquidity: 24-hour volume is under $1 million, with about $140,000 on Binance’s IOTX/USDT pair
• Self-reported metrics: device counts, ioID numbers, query volumes and staking levels come from IoTeX, and its staking figures differ: its 2025 review gives 40.3% of eligible supply, while its token page shows 20% of IOTX staked
• Data gaps: CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko rank IOTX around #500 and outside the top 600 and disagree on the all-time high ($0.261 vs $0.2556), and CoinMarketCap does not explain the gap between total and maximum supply
• Model limits: forecasts mostly extrapolate past prices, and two of the three central 2026 estimates sit below today’s price, by about 13% and 54%

Where to Buy IOTX

IOTX has spot markets on major exchanges including Binance (IOTX/USDT and IOTX/JPY), KuCoin (IOTX/USDT), MEXC (IOTX/USDT), Gate (IOTX/USDT), Crypto.com Exchange (IOTX/USD) and HashKey Exchange (IOTX/USD and IOTX/HKD), and on Bithumb (IOTX/KRW) in South Korea. Coinbase no longer offers IOTX trading. Availability depends on your country, so check what each platform offers where you live. Our guide to the best crypto exchanges compares fees and features.

IOTX is the native coin of the IoTeX chain, and versions also exist on other networks such as Ethereum and BNB Chain, while bridged CIOTX tokens were deprecated after the exploit. Check the network and token before withdrawing. Our crypto wallets guide explains the trade-offs between wallet types. Before acting on market-moving claims about IOTX, such as listings, delistings, partnerships or security incidents, check them against primary sources; our guide on how to verify crypto news and rumors explains how.

Is IoTeX (IOTX) a Good Investment?

That depends on your view of IoTeX’s real-world AI and DePIN plans, whether its products can attract paying users and your tolerance for risk. The bull case rests on a long-running layer 1 with identity and data tools for devices and AI agents, a MiCA whitepaper and a CF Benchmarks index, a supply that is almost fully in circulation, a staking level IoTeX put at about 40% of eligible supply at the end of 2025 and a full compensation program after the exploit. The bear case is that IOTX trades about 98.6% below its high, the bridge exploit and Coinbase’s delisting hurt access and trust, trading volume is thin, and two of the three central estimates we track see IOTX ending 2026 below today’s price.

Further losses are possible. Exchange decisions, the replacement bridge, real adoption of IoTeX’s AI and device products and the wider altcoin market are the main known factors that could affect IOTX over the next year. For more forecasts across the market, see our crypto price predictions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the IoTeX price prediction for 2026?
Central estimates from the three models we track put IOTX between about $0.0017 and $0.0036 at the end of 2026, against a late October price of about $0.0036. CoinLore’s base case is $0.00165, a drop of about 54%, and CoinCodex expects about $0.0031 in December, a drop of about 13%, while Changelly’s December average of $0.00362 is about 1% higher.

What is the IOTX price prediction for 2030?
Central 2030 estimates range from about $0.0011 at CoinCodex and Changelly, about 69% below the late October price, to $0.0059 at CoinLore, about 65% above it. CoinLore’s page mentions $0.03, but that is its bull case, about 8.5 times today’s price. By 2040, CoinCodex and Changelly project about $0.00005, while CoinLore’s base case is $0.047.

Will IOTX reach $0.20 again?
Not on any model we track; even CoinLore’s bull cases peak at about $0.137, for 2041. With about 9.44 billion IOTX in circulation, $0.20 would mean a market cap of about $1.89 billion, roughly 56 times today’s. IOTX’s record close was $0.236 on November 10, 2021, and its all-time high of $0.261 came three days later.

What happened in the IoTeX ioTube bridge hack?
On February 21, 2026, an attacker took control of a validator contract on the Ethereum side of IoTeX’s ioTube bridge, minted 410 million CIOTX and drained about $4.4 million in reserves, according to IoTeX. The project says its own chain and the IOTX supply were not affected, pledged full compensation to affected users and deprecated CIOTX on all networks.

What are ioID and W3bstream?
They are building blocks of IoTeX 2.0, the modular DePIN platform IoTeX announced in 2024. ioID is an identity layer that pairs a real device, such as a vehicle or sensor, with an onchain wallet without storing personal data. W3bstream handles the computation and verification of real-world device data before it is brought on-chain, according to IoTeX.

What is IoTeX’s Burn-Drop model?
IoTeX introduced Burn-Drop in November 2020. Each new device registered on the network triggers a burn of IOTX and a “drop” of IOTX to long-term stakers. The plan was to burn 900 million IOTX and drop 100 million as 1 million devices joined. IoTeX’s token page does not show how many IOTX have been burned so far.

Is IoTeX a good investment?
That depends on your risk tolerance and your view of IoTeX’s AI and DePIN plans. Supporters point to its live layer 1, its ioID and Quicksilver products, a MiCA whitepaper and staking of about 40% of eligible supply at the end of 2025. Critics point to a 98.6% fall from the 2021 high, the February bridge exploit, Coinbase’s delisting and year-end forecasts that mostly sit below today’s price.

Where can I buy IOTX?
IOTX trades on major exchanges including Binance, KuCoin, MEXC, Gate, Crypto.com and HashKey, and on Bithumb in South Korea. Coinbase ended IOTX trading in September 2026, according to reports, which add that balances remain available for withdrawal. Availability depends on your country, so check each platform’s supported assets, and confirm the network before withdrawing, since bridged CIOTX tokens were deprecated.
