Radix (XRD): Uses, Supply and Risks

Radix (XRD) is the native token of the Radix network, a layer-1 blockchain project focused on DeFi applications. Radix describes its aim as building an open, interconnected platform for applications, with an emphasis on security. XRD is the network’s own asset; it is distinct from tokens created by applications on Radix. The project also has a token called eXRD mentioned in connection with access on other networks, but that should not be confused with native XRD. Public sources do not specify a launch date or consensus mechanism, so those details are not included here. In short, XRD is the asset associated with the Radix chain, while the wider project is its blockchain and application ecosystem.

XRD’s role is tied to the Radix network. Public Radix materials describe it as the network’s native token, but public sources do not establish a complete list of token functions or specific dApps that use it. Avoid assuming that every Radix application requires XRD directly: applications may have their own assets and rules. Radix also describes native tokens and NFTs on its ledger as “resources,” reflecting how the network represents those assets. If you are considering using XRD in an application, check that application’s current documentation and confirm whether it supports native XRD or a bridged representation such as eXRD. A token on another network may have different custody and bridge risks from XRD held on Radix.

As of 2026-11-05, Radix had about 13.57 billion XRD in circulation, with total supply also about 13.57 billion. The stated maximum supply is 24 billion XRD. These are approximate figures and can change; check current network or market information for an updated count. On that date, XRD’s price was about $0.000205, its market capitalization about $2.8 million, and reported 24-hour trading volume about $7,569. These figures are snapshots, not forecasts. The token’s recorded all-time high was about $0.651 on 2021-11-14, while its recorded all-time low was about $0.00010 on 2026-10-25. Past prices do not indicate what XRD may be worth in the future.

XRD is native to the Radix chain. The project information identifies no other chain on which XRD itself is issued. Search information also refers to eXRD being made available on Base through a bridge; treat that as a separate, bridged form rather than assuming it is native XRD. Bridged assets can introduce risks involving the bridge, custodians or smart contracts, as well as risks in the destination network. Before sending tokens, verify the asset name, contract or network details with the service you intend to use. Sending native XRD to an address or network that does not support it can lead to loss. Availability on exchanges or other networks can change, so confirm support before making a transfer.

XRD carries the usual risks of crypto assets: its price can change sharply, trading may be thin, and the network’s long-term use and development are uncertain. The low reported trading volume as of 2026-11-05 may make it harder to trade larger amounts without affecting the price. A maximum supply figure does not ensure demand or value. For storage, use a wallet that explicitly supports the Radix network and keep recovery phrases offline and private. Check the network and receiving address before every transfer, and be cautious of unsolicited messages, fake wallet apps and requests to reveal recovery details. If using a bridge or exchange, consider its separate operational and security risks. Never share a seed phrase or sign a transaction you do not understand.
