What Espresso is
Espresso (ESP) is a token issued on Ethereum, currently ranked 444th by market capitalization among the assets we track. Rather than being its own blockchain, Espresso is a token issued on a host chain and traded across that ecosystem. Standardized sector tags are thin for it, which makes liquidity and the project's own materials the better guide.

How to approach Espresso
Because Espresso is a token on a larger network, it inherits that chain's infrastructure but stands on its own demand. The useful signals are liquidity, supply, and whatever the project documents — not a sector narrative our data can't confirm.
Background & fundamentals
Espresso is issued as a token on Ethereum rather than running its own base-layer blockchain. Espresso operates under a centralized structure, which concentrates protocol decisions in an identifiable issuer or foundation. CoinPaprika classifies the project's development status as "Only token".
In sector terms it is most often filed under Arbitrum Ecosystem, Ethereum (ETH) Token (ERC-20), and Infrastructure.
Where Espresso sits in the market
Trading around $0.0707, Espresso carries a market capitalization of $36.81M. Around $9.95M changes hands across exchanges in a typical 24-hour window. That is a turnover of about 27.04% of the float — unusually high, the kind of churn that accompanies major news or speculative spikes.
Almost the entire ESP supply is already in circulation (~100.0% of the 3.6B cap), so future dilution is effectively off the table. The token is roughly -68% under its record of $0.2204 — a meaningful but not catastrophic drawdown. Measured from its all-time low of $0.0519, ESP is up +36%.
What the price history shows
The tape currently reads 24-hour -3.38%, 7-day +24.56%. Across roughly the last 110 days of daily candles, ESP endured a peak-to-trough drawdown of about 66% before stabilizing.
Volatility profile
Recent action puts Espresso in the High-volatility band — it has been actively trading, with daily moves that would be unusual in traditional equities.
How to evaluate Espresso
For an asset of this type, three lenses matter most:
- Liquidity — how deep and reliable trading in ESP actually is, since thin books amplify both moves.
- Supply dynamics — circulating versus maximum supply and the dilution that implies.
- Primary sources — what the project itself documents, because standardized sector data on ESP is limited.
