OMG Network (OMG) Price
OMG
Please note: like most trading venues, we display the current mid-market rates in our price charts. When you trade, you get the current bid or ask price depending on whether you are buying or selling. There is always a slight difference between the mid-market and the current bid or ask prices. This is a natural result of how Exchange order books work.
Digital currencies are very high risk. Do not invest money you can’t afford to lose. Please consider the suitability of crypto for your individual position before trading.
About OMG Network (OMG)
The OMG Network is the quickest and most affordable way to transfer ETH and ERC20 tokens globally without restrictions.
Formerly known as OmiseGo, OMG Network was established in 2017 as a trustless, non-custodial Layer-2 scaling solution
for transferring value on Ethereum.
The OMG Network enables the transfer of ETH and ERC20 tokens with a throughput of thousands of transactions per second,
scaling Ethereum and making it enterprise-ready.
Why does OMG exist?
Billions of people have smartphones and internet access, but limited connections to traditional bank accounts and services.
OMG aims to make it easier and safer for everyone to access financial services in a trustless, permissionless way through cryptocurrencies.
How is the price of OMG determined?
OMG's price is determined by how much OMG is available for sale and how many people want to buy it (supply vs demand).
As OMG's network design is proof-of-stake, at any one time there could be a lot of OMG tokens tied up in smart contracts (in addition to people holding them for investment purposes). This means OMG has the potential to be more scarce when compared with other cryptocurrencies (positively affecting the price).
140 million OMG are available in total, with over 100 million in circulation.
The price of OMG is calculated many times per second by exchange computers all over the world. Just like any other traded item, the price floats between what sellers are asking (Offer Price) and what buyers wish to pay for OMG (Bid Price).
In June 2020 OMG rebranded from OmiseoGo to the OMG Network to align with its future objectives around its values and diversity.
