Lowest Price Cryptocurrency in India (Live List)

Many new investors in India search for the lowest price cryptocurrency, hoping that a coin worth a fraction of a paisa could one day be worth a rupee or more. The live table below lists the lowest-priced coins among the 100 largest cryptocurrencies by market cap, with rupee prices that update on this page. Read the rest of the guide before buying any of them, because the price of one coin is the most misleading number in crypto.

Lowest-priced coins in the top 100 (live)

The "#" badge next to each name shows the coin's overall market-cap rank. We only include coins from the top 100 because thousands of tiny tokens trade for even less, often with almost no liquidity, and many are scams. INR prices are converted from the global US dollar price.

Why "cheap" coins are not cheap

A coin's price is its market capitalisation divided by the number of coins in circulation. Shiba Inu has roughly 589 trillion coins in circulation; Bitcoin has about 2 crore. That is the only reason one Shiba Inu costs a fraction of a paisa while one Bitcoin costs lakhs of rupees. Buying ₹1,000 of either gets you the same ₹1,000 of exposure; with Shiba Inu you simply own a much smaller slice of a much larger pile of coins.

Psychologists call the pull of owning "millions of coins" unit bias. It feels better to own 10 crore of something than 0.001 of something else, but the number of coins you own does not change your return. Only the percentage move in price does.

Can Shiba Inu or Pepe reach ₹1?

Here is the arithmetic, using current circulating supply:

For comparison, Bitcoin's entire market value was about $1.7 trillion in September 2026. For Shiba Inu to reach ₹1, it would need to be worth several times more than Bitcoin, unless a huge share of its supply were destroyed. That is why claims that a memecoin will "definitely hit ₹1" should be treated with deep scepticism. Read our detailed look at whether SHIB can reach 1 rupee.

The kinds of coins you will see on the list

Memecoins

Shiba Inu, Pepe and Bonk are memecoins: tokens driven mainly by community and internet culture rather than a product. They can rise very fast in a bull market and fall 80% or more afterwards. Live prices: Shiba Inu ₹0.000537, Pepe ₹0.000401.

Low-priced utility tokens

Some low-priced coins belong to working networks with a large supply by design, such as VeChain (supply chain tracking) or Flare (data for smart contracts). A low price here is again a result of supply, and the usual questions apply: who uses the network, who holds the supply, and how fast new tokens are released.

New listings

Recently launched tokens often start with a very low price and a large supply, and many drop sharply as early investors and team members unlock and sell their tokens. Check a coin's token unlock schedule before buying.

How to assess a low-priced coin

1. Market cap, not price. Ask whether the whole network is worth what the market says.
2. Supply and inflation. How many coins exist, how many more will be created, and when do locked tokens unlock?
3. Liquidity. Check 24-hour volume. Thinly traded coins can be hard to sell at a fair price.
4. Holder concentration. If a few wallets hold most of the supply, they can move the price at will.
5. Listing on registered Indian exchanges. Buying through an FIU-registered exchange keeps TDS and records simple. See our top 5 cryptocurrency apps in India.

Avoid "next 100x coin" traps

Telegram groups, YouTube videos and social media ads regularly push "the next Shiba Inu" at a tiny price. Many are pump-and-dump schemes where promoters sell to latecomers, or outright scams that never let you withdraw. Never buy a token through a link someone sends you, and never pay into a personal UPI ID. Read how to avoid crypto scams in India.

Tax on memecoin gains

Memecoins are taxed like any other crypto in India: 30% plus cess on profit, 1% TDS on sale, and no set-off of losses against other gains. A big percentage gain on a small amount is still taxed at 30%. Use the crypto tax calculator before selling.

Frequently asked questions

Which is the lowest price cryptocurrency in India?

Among the 100 largest coins, memecoins such as Pepe and Shiba Inu usually have among the lowest prices per coin. The live table on this page shows the current order.

Is a low-priced cryptocurrency a good investment?

Not because of the low price. A low price usually reflects a very large supply. Judge coins by market cap, use, liquidity and supply, and treat memecoins as speculation.

Can I buy low-priced crypto with ₹100 in India?

Yes. Registered Indian exchanges let you buy small amounts, and you can buy fractions of any coin, so a low price per coin is not needed to start small.

Will Shiba Inu reach 1 rupee?

At today's supply of about 589 trillion coins, Shiba Inu at ₹1 would be worth about ₹589 lakh crore, several times Bitcoin's entire value. That is extremely unlikely without a massive reduction in supply.
