Institutions and funds requiring an SEC-registered venue with segregated qualified custody and audited on-chain reserves.
Active spot traders chasing the deepest global liquidity and the widest listing catalogue outside the US perimeter.
Traders who mix spot and on-chain — the Web3 wallet, DEX aggregator and Ethereum L2 X Layer sit inside the same account as CEX pairs.
Long-horizon EU holders who want the oldest continuously-operating exchange (2011) with conservative listings and full MiCA licensing.

Gnosis (GNO) is the governance and staking token behind one of the oldest still-active project families in Ethereum. The original Gnosis project launched in April 2017 with one of the largest ICOs of the time, raising about $12.5 million in roughly 10 minutes. Founder Martin Köppelmann and co-founder Stefan George had been building on Ethereum since 2015, which makes Gnosis older than most of what now counts as DeFi infrastructure.
The token is no longer attached to a single product. GNO holders sit at the top of a multi-product ecosystem that includes Gnosis Chain (an EVM sidechain that grew out of the xDai community fork), Safe (the multisig wallet contract that secures the majority of DAO and institutional treasuries on Ethereum), and CoW Protocol with CowSwap (a batch-auction DEX with built-in MEV protection). GNO is used to secure Gnosis Chain through validator deposits and to vote on parameters across the broader stack.
GNO trades on the open market and the live price card on this page refreshes every 60 seconds, pulled from a multi-venue market feed. The most active pairs are GNO/USDT, GNO/USD, and GNO/ETH, with smaller WBTC and stablecoin books on Curve and Balancer. Total supply is capped at 10 million GNO, and the actual circulating amount is meaningfully smaller because a sizable share is locked in validator deposits on Gnosis Chain.

Gnosis Chain is the part of the ecosystem most users actually touch. It launched in 2018 as the xDai chain, an EVM sidechain that used the DAI stablecoin as its native gas token, which made transaction fees predictable to the cent. In late 2021 the xDai team merged with Gnosis, and the chain rebranded to Gnosis Chain. The native gas token is now xDAI, a wrapped 1:1 representation of DAI.
The chain is not trying to compete with Ethereum on raw scale. It is positioned as the cheap, predictable EVM environment for payments, DAOs, and prediction-style applications, with security backed by GNO stakers rather than by inheriting from Ethereum the way an L2 does.
Most of the value flowing through the Gnosis ecosystem does not sit on Gnosis Chain. It sits in Safe contracts and CowSwap order flow on Ethereum mainnet and other EVM networks.
The practical effect of this structure is that GNO is not a direct claim on Safe or CowSwap revenue. It is a governance and staking token for Gnosis Chain and the broader ecosystem treasury. Anyone buying GNO is buying exposure to chain-level activity and to whatever future cash flows the GnosisDAO directs back to holders.
Staking on Gnosis Chain is unusually accessible. Where Ethereum mainnet validators need 32 ETH (roughly six figures at most price levels), a Gnosis Chain validator needs just 1 GNO. The lower threshold has produced a validator set that is large in count and reasonably distributed, which matters more for chain security than the absolute dollar value at stake.
Validator rewards on Gnosis Chain are paid in mGNO (a 1:32 representation that exists for technical reasons), with conversion back to GNO available through the chain. Yields have historically tracked Ethereum staking yields plus a chain-specific premium that reflects activity on Gnosis Chain itself.
Comparing Gnosis directly with Ethereum mainnet misses the point of the project. Gnosis Chain is a sidechain that takes its security from its own validator set, not from Ethereum, but the broader Gnosis ecosystem is deeply integrated with the Ethereum stack rather than competing with it.
For a holder, the practical question is not "Ethereum or Gnosis." It is whether the Gnosis-shaped slice of the EVM economy (Safe-secured treasuries, MEV-protected DEX flow, cheap stablecoin payments) is going to keep growing. That is the bet GNO actually represents.
GNO is on most major centralized exchanges and on Ethereum mainnet DEXs. Buying it is straightforward, with the usual choice between custodial spot venues and on-chain DEX execution.

GNO is a long-running, well-audited project, but it carries a different mix of risks than a single-product token. The biggest items to think about:
This page is information, not financial advice. GNO sits in a multi-product ecosystem with sidechain, bridge, and governance risks that are easy to underweight. Talk to someone licensed before allocating real capital.
Analysis last updated:
Gnosis (GNO) trades at $108.03 with a 24-hour volume of $1.81M and a market capitalization of $285.17M. The asset is currently ranked #132 among all tracked cryptocurrencies.
In the last 24 hours, the GNO price has fallen +2.89%. On a seven-day window, Gnosis has retraced +7.05%, under sustained selling pressure on both windows. Short-term moves are often amplified by liquidity, news flow, and derivatives positioning, so confirm signals across multiple indicators before acting.
Gnosis's all-time high of $644.20 was set on November 8, 2021. The current price sits +83.23% below that peak. Distance from the all-time high is a common reference point when evaluating long recoveries and macro support or resistance.
Buying Gnosis (GNO) is a five-step routine once you have picked the right venue and pair. The steps below mirror what most investors do today.
You can also use the Gnosis converter above to estimate how much GNO you would get for a given dollar amount before placing the order.
Whether Gnosis is a good investment depends on your goals, time horizon, and tolerance for volatility. Like all cryptocurrencies, GNO carries real market risk: prices can rise or fall sharply in a day, and past performance is not a reliable indicator of future returns.
