The Nexa (NEXA) price at the top of this page updates live and averages NEXA price data from the exchanges that list the coin. The Nexa coin is the native currency of Nexa, a proof-of-work layer 1 blockchain built by Bitcoin Unlimited, and it pays network fees and miner rewards. This page covers the Nexa crypto coin, which has no connection to Nexa Resources, the mining company whose shares trade in New York under the NEXA ticker, or to other tokens that use the Nexa name.

What Moves the NEXA Price

  • Thin trading: NEXA trades on a handful of smaller exchanges, all against USDT, and none of the largest exchanges listed it as of October 28, 2026, so modest orders can move the price sharply.
  • Mining rewards: miners are paid in newly issued NEXA with every block, and the pace of new issuance falls at each halving.
  • Protocol upgrades: progress on Tailstorm, an upgrade aimed at faster confirmations, and on a new mining algorithm can shift sentiment; both need a hard fork with no announced date as of October 31, 2026.
  • Network use: the Nexa explorer recorded about 2,100 transactions in the 24 hours to October 31, 2026, so changes in real use are visible on the chain.
  • Exchange access: listings and delistings change who can trade NEXA and how easily.
  • Market conditions: its price can be affected by demand, network activity, broader crypto markets and changes to the project.

NEXA Price History and All-Time High

The table tracks key points in the NEXA price, using daily market data and the project’s own announcements.

At its July 2026 low, NEXA was about 99% below its April 2023 high. The mid-October rally gave back about 45% between the October 19 and October 30, 2026 closes.

What Nexa Is and How It Works

Nexa is a proof-of-work blockchain that uses the UTXO model, where coins move between addresses as discrete outputs. It was built by Bitcoin Unlimited, a team that spent about a decade on Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash node software before focusing on Nexa. Bitcoin Unlimited says Nexa launched without a premine or insider allocation, and new NEXA enters circulation only as rewards to miners.

Miners compete to add a block roughly every two minutes under the proof-of-work model Bitcoin introduced, and the project documents no native staking. Nexa also supports native tokens and smart contracts, so tokens and NFTs can be issued directly on the chain; those tokens are separate assets from NEXA.

Bitcoin Unlimited’s main scaling project is Tailstorm, which adds subblocks roughly every three seconds between the regular two-minute blocks. The project says this will let transactions be mined in seconds. As of October 31, 2026, Tailstorm was not active on the network.

NEXA Supply and Halving

NEXA has a fixed maximum supply of 21 trillion coins. Bitcoin Unlimited set that figure to match Bitcoin’s supply counted in satoshis, and each NEXA divides into 100 smaller units (Nexa forum), which is why the NEXA price carries so many zeros. The Nexa explorer showed about 11.16 trillion NEXA issued on October 31, 2026, about 53% of the cap.

Nexa cuts its block reward in half every 1,050,000 blocks, roughly every four years. The first halving came with block 1,050,001, mined on May 1, 2026, and cut the reward from 10 million to 5 million NEXA per block (Nexa forum). At that pace the next halving falls around 2030, and the project expects full issuance to take about 140 years. Because all new coins come from mining, NEXA has no token unlock schedule.

Latest Nexa News and Developments

  • October 13, 2026: Bitcoin Unlimited published an update on hardening the Tailstorm protocol; no activation date had been announced as of October 31, 2026.
  • September 2, 2026: Nexa Full Node 2.2.0.0 added rolling checkpoints, under which nodes refuse to reorganize blocks more than 200 deep, and shipped Tailstorm’s code ahead of the hard fork that will activate it.
  • August 2026: the team introduced NexaPoW 2.0, a planned redesign of the mining algorithm.
  • December 26, 2025: Bitget delisted NEXA; the Nexa team said market makers had missed the exchange’s order-book depth requirement.

Where to Buy, Sell and Store NEXA

As of October 28, 2026, Bitcoin.com doesn’t sell or buy back NEXA, and the Bitcoin.com Wallet doesn’t support the Nexa network. NEXA trades on a handful of smaller centralized exchanges, all against the USDT stablecoin, and none of the largest exchanges listed it on that date. Availability varies by country.

For self-custody, the Nexa project lists compatible wallets on nexa.org, including Wally Wallet, Otoplo Wallet and the full-node wallet. Once a withdrawal confirms on the Nexa network, you control the NEXA in a wallet whose keys you hold. Send only native NEXA to a Nexa address, since tokens issued on Nexa are separate assets.

Risks of Holding NEXA

  • Volatility: NEXA has lost most of its peak value and has moved tens of percent within days.
  • Thin markets: few venues and low volume mean wide spreads and the risk that another exchange delists the coin.
  • Small size: Nexa’s market cap was about $7.75 million on October 30, 2026, small enough for large orders to move the price.
  • Protocol changes: Tailstorm and the new mining algorithm both need a hard fork, and large consensus changes carry execution risk for nodes, miners and exchanges.
  • Adoption: on-chain activity is low, and the project’s plans depend on developers and users arriving.
  • Name confusion: “Nexa” and “NEXA” also refer to a listed stock and to unrelated tokens such as Nexa (NXA), so check the asset and network before you trade.
