Last Updated: October 28, 2026
Quick Answer: XYO trades near $0.0031 as of October 28, 2026, with a market cap of about $43 million (#419 on CoinMarketCap). It is down about 36% since the end of 2025 and about 96% below its all-time high of $0.082 from November 2021. Central estimates from the two models we track put XYO between about $0.0021 (CoinLore) and $0.0040 (CoinCodex) at the end of 2026, and between about $0.0038 (CoinCodex) and $0.0062 (CoinLore) in 2030. XL1, the gas token of the XYO Layer One blockchain that launched in September 2025, has lost about 75% of its value this year.
XYO is the original token of XYO Network, a DePIN (decentralized physical infrastructure) project that launched in 2018 to verify real-world data such as location. Since September 2025 it runs its own blockchain, XYO Layer One, with a two-token model: XYO is staked to secure the network and XL1 pays for transactions. In 2026 the project added an AI developer kit and deals with Theta Network, Crypto.com and Gate, but XYO’s price peaked on January 6, fell about 64% to its 2026 low on July 30, rose about 48% to an intraday high on October 5 and has since fallen about 26%.
Real-world data collection is also feeding AI models; in February 2026, ZenO opened a public beta with Story to gather data for physical AI.
This update covers the current XYO price, the main 2026 developments, the latest forecasts for 2026 to 2030 and 2040, and what it would take for XYO to reach $0.1 or its record high.
Key Takeaways
- XYO trades about 96% below its all-time high of $0.082, set on November 6, 2021, and about 32 times its all-time low of $0.000096 from March 2020
- The token is down about 36% since the end of 2025: it reached $0.0078 intraday on January 6, hit its 2026 low of $0.0028 on July 30 and lost about 13% in October through October 27
- XL1, the gas token of XYO Layer One, is down about 75% this year and about 95% below its launch-day high; about 48% of its 38 billion supply is still locked, and the next 267 million XL1 for the team, advisors and contractors are due on November 4
- About 99.5% of XYO’s 13.93 billion maximum supply is already in circulation, and CoinMarketCap tracks no XYO unlocks
- Average daily trading volume on CoinMarketCap since July 25 is about 72% lower than earlier in 2026, and one exchange, HTX, accounts for most of today’s volume
- Central estimates from current models put XYO between about $0.0021 and $0.0040 at the end of 2026, one below and one above today’s price, and between about $0.0038 and $0.0062 in 2030

Sources: CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko. CoinGecko ranks XYO #519 and lists an all-time high of $0.0814 and an all-time low of $0.0000967. 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 39%. The project’s self-reported circulating supply is about 13.66 billion XYO, or 98% of the maximum.
What Is XYO Network (XYO)?
XYO Network is a DePIN project that launched in 2018 with Bluetooth beacons and GPS trackers and now describes itself as a network for verifying real-world data for AI, robotics and other industries. XYO says it has more than 10 million nodes, a milestone it announced in September 2025, according to Forbes. Its consumer COIN app rewards users with points they can redeem for XYO, other cryptocurrencies or prizes such as gold bars, and co-founder Markus Levin told Forbes that 80% of new sign-ups arrive without prior crypto experience. These usage figures come from the company.
XYO is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum that also exists on Solana, with a maximum supply of about 13.93 billion. Since the launch of XYO Layer One in September 2025, the project uses two tokens: XYO, which holders stake to secure the network, and XL1, which pays for gas, settlement and rewards. The project also promotes tools it calls Proof of Location, Proof of Origin and Data Lakes. More background is available on the official XYO Network website.
XYO News: What Has Happened in 2026
XYO Layer One and XL1. XYO launched its own layer 1 blockchain in September 2025, and CoinMarketCap began tracking XL1 on September 16, 2025. XL1 can be staked for rewards on XYO Layer One and bridged to Ethereum, according to the project’s website. XL1 has fallen about 75% this year and about 82% over 12 months, to a market cap of under $1 million, while XYO fell about 39% this year on the same basis. Unlock data that the project reports to CoinMarketCap shows about 36% of XL1’s 38 billion supply unlocked and about 48% still locked, with team, advisor and contractor tokens vesting linearly; the next release of about 267 million XL1 (0.7% of the supply) is due on November 4. XYO itself has no tracked unlocks.
AI developer kit. In May, XYO presented an AI software development kit that it says lets developers build apps for XYO Layer One without blockchain skills; the project’s news page dates the announcement to May 12. The next day XYO closed about 38% higher, then gave back about 26% on May 14.
Theta Network partnership. On May 28, The Block reported that XYO nodes will monitor the uptime, latency and throughput of AI agent workloads on Theta’s EdgeCloud and record the results as attestations on XYO Layer One. No deal value or token mechanics were disclosed.
Crypto.com custody. On July 27, Crypto.com said XYO had selected Crypto.com Custody to provide institutional-grade custody and liquidity for XYO and XL1; the service is offered to eligible institutions and high-net-worth clients.
Gate AI and Crypto Cards. In September, XYO launched XYO Crypto Cards, a daily market prediction game built with Gate AI in which players play three cards a day against Gate AI. Gate also lists both XYO and XL1.
Exchanges and trading. XYO trades on Coinbase, Kraken, KuCoin, Gate, MEXC, HTX, Crypto.com, Bithumb and Bitvavo, and Revolut added XYO to its app in December 2025. Bithumb shows no caution flag on its XYO/KRW market, and CoinMarketCap lists no XYO market on Binance or Upbit. Average daily volume recorded by CoinMarketCap fell from about $7.1 million between January 1 and July 24 to about $2.0 million since July 25, for reasons we could not identify, and HTX’s XYO/USDT pair accounted for about $2.9 million of the roughly $3.3 million in 24-hour volume on October 28.

CoinMarketCap began tracking XYO on May 22, 2018, but showed no market cap until later. XYO fell about 94% in 2019 and hit its all-time low of $0.000096 on March 13, 2020. It rose about 150-fold in 2021, reaching its all-time high of $0.082 on November 6 after trading about $534 million the day before, and its market cap peaked at about $979 million on November 11, 2021. XYO lost 91% in 2022, then rose in 2023 and 2024, reaching $0.0442 intraday on December 3, 2024, before losing 75% in 2025.
In 2026, XYO closed at $0.0064 on January 6, about 34% above its 2025 close, after reaching $0.0078 intraday. It fell 15% on February 5, when a market-wide sell-off cut Bitcoin by about 14%. On May 22 it jumped as much as 71% intraday on its highest volume of the year, about $38.9 million, and closed 27% higher. June was its worst month, with a loss of about 26%, and it hit its 2026 low of $0.0028 on July 30, yet August was its best month, with a gain of 25%. XYO is down about 13% for October through October 27.
XYO Price Prediction 2026
With about two months left in the year, the two models we track disagree on direction: one expects a gain of almost 30% by December, the other a drop of about a third.
| Source | Low | Average | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| CoinCodex (December 2026; headline target $0.004020) | $0.003950 | $0.003984 | $0.004020 |
| CoinLore (bear / base / bull) | $0.00126 | $0.00210 | $0.0117 |
CoinCodex puts XYO at an average of about $0.0040 in December, about 29% above today’s price; its headline target is the top of its December range. CoinLore’s base case of $0.00210, given only in its text, would be a fall of about 32%, while its bull case of $0.0117 would be about 3.8 times today’s price. Both pages are dated October 28 and show a price close to today’s.
We do not use the figures from CoinDataFlow, whose XYO table follows the same pattern as its forecasts for other coins we checked, with a jump to almost 10 times the current price in 2029 followed by a decline in 2030, from Changelly, whose 2026 table still starts in January and puts the October 2026 average at $0.00745, about 2.4 times the $0.0031 price shown on the same page, or from BeInCrypto, whose XYO forecast page we could not open.
XYO trades about 11% below its 50-day moving average of $0.00346 and about 10% below its 200-day average of $0.00344, with a 14-day RSI of about 34, according to CoinCodex.
Range of central 2026 estimates: about $0.0021 to $0.0040.
Blockchainreporter Scenario Range for the End of 2026
Unlike the model forecasts above, this range is Blockchainreporter’s own. It shows where XYO 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.
| Scenario | XYO on December 31, 2026 | What could drive it |
|---|---|---|
| Bear (10th percentile) | $0.0022 | XL1 keeps falling as locked supply is released and trading stays concentrated on a few venues |
| Base (middle 50% of outcomes) | $0.0026 to $0.0035 | XYO follows the wider market while XYO Layer One adoption grows slowly |
| Bull (90th percentile) | $0.0040 | Apps and partners lift demand for XL1 and staked XYO, and the COIN app brings in new users |
How we calculated it: XYO traded at about $0.0030 on CoinGecko on November 5, 2026, and its daily moves over the previous 90 days imply annualized volatility of about 58%. 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.
XYO Price Prediction 2027
| Source | Low | Average | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| CoinCodex (monthly range) | $0.003898 | $0.007158 | $0.009696 |
| CoinLore (bear / base / bull) | $0.00165 | $0.00276 | $0.0255 |
The central 2027 estimates range from about $0.0028 at CoinLore, about 11% below today’s price, to $0.0072 at CoinCodex, about 2.3 times today’s price. CoinCodex’s monthly path rises to an average of about $0.0093 in August 2027, then eases to about $0.0072 in December. CoinLore’s bull case of $0.0255 is more than nine times its own base case. Both models are built mainly on past prices.
XYO Price Prediction 2028 and 2029
| Source | 2028 (central) | 2029 (central) |
|---|---|---|
| CoinCodex (average of monthly forecasts) | $0.0068 | $0.0051 |
| CoinLore (base case) | $0.00400 | $0.00423 |
For 2028 and 2029, central estimates range from about $0.0040 to $0.0068, all above today’s price. CoinCodex’s path peaks at an average of about $0.0094 in October 2028, its highest month through 2030, then falls to about $0.0042 by December 2029. CoinLore’s page says XYO could climb toward about $0.0473 by 2029, but that is its bull case, about 15 times today’s price.
XYO Price Prediction 2030
| Source | Low | Average | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| CoinCodex (monthly range; headline target $0.004478) | $0.003196 | $0.003763 | $0.004975 |
| CoinLore (bear / base / bull) | $0.00372 | $0.00620 | $0.0319 |
Both central estimates for 2030 are above today’s price. CoinCodex’s average of about $0.0038 would be a gain of about 22%, and its headline target of $0.004478, the top of its December 2030 range, a gain of about 45%. CoinLore’s base case of $0.0062 would about double the price. CoinLore’s page says XYO could reach $0.0319 by 2030 in a bullish market, about 10 times the current price, but that is its bull case.
All forecasts are third-party model estimates, not investment advice.
XYO Price Prediction 2040
Long-range forecasts are highly speculative. CoinCodex projects about $0.0093 by 2040, within its December 2040 range of $0.0092 to $0.0113 and about three times today’s price. CoinLore is more optimistic, with a base case of $0.0491 and a bull case of $0.151 for 2040; the text on its page gives a 2040 bull range of $0.06 to $0.16, which does not match its own table.
What Drives the XYO Price?
- Exchange access and liquidity: XYO trades on Coinbase, Kraken, KuCoin and Gate, but volume since late July is about 72% below its earlier 2026 level, and HTX accounts for most of today’s volume.
- XYO Layer One adoption: demand for XL1 and for staked XYO depends on apps, partners and data actually using XYO Layer One; both tokens fell in 2026 despite new deals with Theta and Crypto.com.
- XL1 supply: about 48% of XL1’s supply is still locked, according to project-reported data, and team and advisor tokens vest linearly. XYO’s own supply is almost fully in circulation.
- The COIN app: the app is designed to bring non-crypto users into XYO; Markus Levin told Forbes that 80% of new sign-ups arrive without prior crypto experience and that 95% of them redeem their points for XYO, figures that come from the company. Growth there could widen the holder base.
- The wider market: like most altcoins, XYO tends to move with Bitcoin and overall risk appetite, as on February 5, when XYO fell 15% and Bitcoin about 14%. Our Bitcoin price prediction covers the market leader.
Can XYO Reach $0.1 or Its All-Time High?
Not on the central estimates of either model we track through 2041; the highest is CoinLore’s 2040 base case of $0.0491. Only CoinLore’s bull cases pass the $0.082 record, starting with $0.0837 for 2035, and pass $0.1, starting with $0.103 for 2037. XYO has never traded at $0.1. With about 13.87 billion XYO in circulation, each price level implies a market cap that can be compared with other coins.
| XYO Price | Market Cap Needed | Multiple of Today’s Price | For Comparison |
|---|---|---|---|
| $0.01 | About $139M | About 3.2x | About twice XYO’s market cap at the end of 2025 ($65M) |
| $0.0442 (December 2024 high) | About $613M | About 14x | Between VeChain ($540M) and Filecoin ($742M) today |
| $0.082 (ATH) | About $1.14B | About 26.5x | Just below Ethereum Classic ($1.20B) today |
| $0.1 | About $1.39B | About 32x | Between Ethereum Classic ($1.20B) and Internet Computer ($1.43B) today |
| $1 | About $13.9B | About 324x | Above Chainlink ($8.6B) today |
At $0.1, XYO’s market cap would be about 1.4 times its record of about $979 million from November 2021. At $1, it would need a market cap more than 14 times that record. Because almost all of the XYO supply already circulates, a higher price would have to come from demand: real use of XYO Layer One by AI and robotics customers, growth of the COIN app, deeper exchange liquidity and a strong altcoin market. Our IoTeX price prediction covers another DePIN project that connects devices to a blockchain.
Key Risks of XYO
- Deep drawdown: XYO trades about 96% below its 2021 high, about 93% below its December 2024 peak and about 59% lower than a year ago
- Thin, concentrated trading: 24-hour volume is about $3.3 million, most of it on HTX, and average daily volume since late July is about 72% lower than earlier in 2026
- XL1 weakness: XL1 is down about 95% from its launch-day high, and about 48% of its supply is still locked
- Holder concentration: the 10 largest addresses hold about 44% of XYO and the largest single address about 21%, according to CoinMarketCap
- Self-reported metrics: node counts, COIN app figures and XL1 unlock data come from the project; Forbes noted that no independent data backs one of its usage claims
- Data gaps: CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko rank XYO #419 and #519, and the self-reported circulating supply is about 213 million XYO below CoinMarketCap’s figure
- Model limits: forecasts mostly extrapolate past prices, and the two central 2026 estimates range from a fall of about 32% to a gain of about 29%
Where to Buy XYO
XYO has spot markets on major exchanges including Coinbase (XYO/USD), Kraken (XYO/USD and XYO/EUR), KuCoin (XYO/USDT), Gate (XYO/USDT), MEXC (XYO/USDT), HTX (XYO/USDT) and Crypto.com (XYO/USD), and also trades on Bitvavo (XYO/EUR), Bithumb (XYO/KRW) and in the Revolut app. On decentralized exchanges it trades on Uniswap on Ethereum and on Raydium on Solana. 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.
XYO is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum and also has a version on Solana, and XL1 is a different token, so 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 XYO, such as listings, delistings or partnerships, check them against primary sources; our guide on how to verify crypto news and rumors explains how.
Is XYO Network (XYO) a Good Investment?
That depends on your view of XYO’s DePIN and data business, whether XYO Layer One can attract paying users and your tolerance for risk. The bull case rests on a large consumer node network built through the COIN app, a supply that is almost fully in circulation, 2026 partnerships with Theta, Crypto.com and Gate, and listings on Coinbase, Kraken and Revolut (Revolut added XYO in December 2025). The bear case is that XYO trades about 96% below its high, its new XL1 token is about 95% below its launch-day high, trading volume has dropped sharply since July, and CoinLore’s base case sees XYO ending 2026 below today’s price.
Further losses are possible. XYO Layer One usage, XL1 unlocks, exchange liquidity and the wider altcoin market are the main known factors that could affect XYO over the next year. For more forecasts across the market, see our crypto price predictions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the XYO price prediction for 2026?
Central estimates from the two models we track put XYO between about $0.0021 and $0.0040 at the end of 2026, against a late October price of about $0.0031. CoinLore’s base case is $0.0021, a drop of about 32%, while CoinCodex expects about $0.0040 in December, a gain of almost 30%. CoinLore’s bull case is $0.0117, about 3.8 times the current price.
What is the XYO price prediction for 2030?
Central 2030 estimates range from about $0.0038 at CoinCodex to $0.0062 at CoinLore, implying gains of about 22% to 100% from the late October price. CoinCodex’s headline target is about $0.0045, the top of its December 2030 range. CoinLore’s page mentions $0.0319, but that is its bull case. By 2040, central estimates range from about $0.0093 to $0.049.
How high can XYO go?
No model we track puts XYO back at its $0.082 record on a central estimate through 2041; only CoinLore’s bull cases pass it, from 2035, and reach $0.1 from 2037. With about 13.87 billion XYO in circulation, $0.1 would mean a market cap of about $1.39 billion, roughly 32 times today’s and about 1.4 times XYO’s November 2021 record.
What is XYO Network?
XYO Network is a DePIN project, launched in 2018, that verifies real-world data such as location using phones and devices as nodes. It says it has more than 10 million nodes and runs the COIN app, which rewards users with points. Since September 2025 it runs its own blockchain, XYO Layer One, where XYO is staked to secure the network and XL1 pays transaction fees.
Is XYO a good investment?
That depends on your risk tolerance and your view of XYO’s data business. Supporters point to its large node network, a supply that is almost fully in circulation and 2026 partnerships with Theta, Crypto.com and Gate. Critics point to a 96% fall from the 2021 high, sharply lower trading volume since July and a 95% fall in XL1 from its launch-day high.
What is XL1 and how does it affect XYO?
XL1 is the gas token of XYO Layer One, used to pay for transactions, settlement and rewards, while XYO is staked to secure the network. XL1 launched in September 2025 and is down about 95% from its launch-day high. About 48% of its 38 billion supply is still locked, according to project-reported data, and the next release of about 267 million XL1 is due on November 4.
Where can I buy XYO?
XYO trades on major exchanges including Coinbase, Kraken, KuCoin, Gate, MEXC, HTX and Crypto.com, and also on Bitvavo, Bithumb and in the Revolut app. CoinMarketCap lists no XYO market on Binance. Availability depends on your country, so check each platform’s supported assets before buying. XYO exists on Ethereum and Solana, so make sure your wallet supports the right network.
