Buy GRT

You use DeFi. Maybe you’ve played with Uniswap, checked prices on Aave, or poked around a DAO dashboard. But have you ever thought about where all that data comes from? That’s where The Graph shows up. Quietly. Relentlessly. No frills, no hype—just infrastructure that makes everything else work. Since launching in 2020, it’s processed over 1.23 trillion queries and now powers 70,000+ subgraphs. That’s not a typo. And yet, GRT trades at just $0.084, with a market cap under $830 million. It’s lost 97% of its value since its $2.88 peak in 2021. Ouch. And it’s sitting at #77 on CoinMarketCap. So… why doesn’t anyone care?

At its core, The Graph indexes blockchain data—think of it as Google Search, but for Ethereum, Arbitrum, Solana, and 40+ other networks. You don’t need to spin up a node or dig through JSON—just plug into a subgraph and go. That’s how dApps like Uniswap and Balancer load real-time stats. If you’re staking, delegating, or indexing, GRT’s the incentive layer. Over 9.5 billion tokens are already in circulation (out of 10.8 billion total). And thanks to its latest Sonic Labs upgrade and GIP-0061, building on The Graph got a whole lot faster in 2024—developer adoption jumped 15%. Oh, and Chainlink just stepped in. Their CCIP integration means GRT can now move cross-chain with $0.01 fees. That’s a huge unlock for accessibility. But then there's the market reality.

You’d expect a protocol this vital to trade like gold. It doesn’t. GRT dropped nearly 4% in the last 24 hours and is stuck below a rough resistance at $0.1194. Volume is low—$32 million daily—and Ethereum’s gas fees are still punishing smaller dApps. That $5–$20 range might not sound like much, but for teams building scrappy tools? It’s a wall. Meanwhile, Chainlink towers with $50 billion in secured value and $400 million in volume. The Graph? Still hanging around $63 million in TVL. A subgraph exploit in 2023—only $1.5 million lost—didn’t wreck the brand, but it definitely rattled trust. And according to a speaker at DeFi Summit 2025? “The Graph’s indispensable, but it’s not sexy.” Investors want flash. This is plumbing. Even @PolarBerAI admits the chatter’s up—but momentum feels shaky. CoinPedia says GRT could hit $1.00 by December. WalletInvestor sees it dropping to $0.091. That pretty much says it all.

Subgraph queries are up 20% quarter-over-quarter, but TVL hasn’t budged. Daily active wallets? About 132. Chainlink clocks over 10,000. Whales aren’t selling—there’s stability there. But Binance funding rates are negative, and RSI hovers around 62, which is about as neutral as it gets. No panic, no pump. Just waiting. People call The Graph the “data warehouse” of crypto. That’s accurate—but warehouses don’t excite traders. And in a market chasing momentum, that’s a problem.

Let’s say Sonic Labs delivers and cross-chain GRT becomes a norm. CCN’s $1.50 prediction for year-end suddenly doesn’t sound crazy. Especially if DeFi usage spikes. But there’s the other side: CoinCodex thinks it’ll sink to $0.092 by mid-June. A hack, a flaw in subgraph resolution, or Ethereum’s gas getting slashed could all weaken The Graph’s edge. @graphprotocol keeps teasing Solana indexing and multi-chain everything, but the broader market is distracted. If demand for clean blockchain data explodes, The Graph could win big. If not? Well, it stays in the background.

You don’t see The Graph in meme threads or TikToks. It doesn’t drop NFT collections or throw VC parties. It just runs. And without it, a chunk of DeFi grinds to a halt. That makes GRT one of the most important tokens that nobody’s talking about. Can that change? Maybe. If Sonic Labs gets traction and CCIP brings in new users, this thing could fly under the radar right into a breakout. Or? It stays in the shadows while flashier chains grab the spotlight. You’re betting on infrastructure, not attention. But sometimes, the stuff holding up the ceiling is exactly what holds its value.
