# AXL-USD Research Summary (as of 2026-08-20)

## Current Price & Market Position

As of August 20, 2026, AXL is trading at approximately **$0.0376**, with a total market cap of roughly **$46.07M** (ranked ~#420 globally) [[4]](https://www.bybit.com/en/price/axelar/). This represents a staggering **-98.5% decline from its all-time high of ~$2.64–$2.73** [DOC-3][[8]](https://tokenradar.co/axelar/price-prediction)[DOC-2]. Over the past month, AXL has declined approximately 9.6% [[3]](https://crypto.news/price/axelar/), and 24-hour trading volume sits at a modest ~$1.76M–$2.9M [[4]](https://www.bybit.com/en/price/axelar/)[[5]](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/axelar/).

> **Note on data discrepancy:** One source (OKX) reports AXL at $0.485 with an $80.78M market cap [[9]](https://www.okx.com/price/axelar-axl), which is dramatically inconsistent with all other sources converging around $0.036–$0.038. This likely reflects a different token pairing, stale data, or an error, and should be disregarded for current analysis purposes.
