The native asset of a proof-based marketplace for decentralized data storage.
Filecoin is tracked here because it has an established public market and recurring reader interest. Inclusion is not an endorsement. Bitcoin.now compares other networks on their own terms while keeping Bitcoin's monetary design, custody model, and proof-of-work security as the site's main subject.
There is no single official Filecoin price. The number above is the latest public observation from OKX. Another exchange can show a different last trade because its buyers, sellers, liquidity, and order book are different.
A displayed price is not the amount guaranteed for an order. Spread, fees, depth, slippage, payment method, and location can change the final value.
Five facts to check before treating a price as an understanding of the asset.
Filecoin uses a crypto network or token system with project-specific transaction and settlement rules.
For FIL, supply changes according to project-specific protocol, treasury, staking, or distribution rules.
Core teams, validators, token holders, foundations, issuers, and service providers may each retain different powers.
The intended role includes network fees, settlement, governance, incentives, or application access depending on the project.
Material risks include concentrated control, technical failure, changing issuance, limited liquidity, regulatory action, and volatile demand.
Who can change the software or token contract? Where can supply data be reproduced? Which keys, validators, administrators, bridges, or issuers must keep working? How much real liquidity exists near the displayed price? A useful asset review answers those questions with current primary documentation instead of relying on market capitalization or social attention.
