DigiByte (DGB) Is A Hidden Gem Among Cryptos
A brief look at the current market situation yields a disheartening sight with the top 10 coins and tokens showing signs of trouble despite the total market capitalization holding steady at around $433 Billion. Bitcoin (BTC) is currently trading at $9,303; Ethereum (ETH) is currently at $750; Ripple (XRP) is holding strong at $0.80. Outside the top 3, one coin stands out: DigiByte (DGB).
DGB is currently ranked 50th on coinmarketcap.com. It is currently trading at $0.0476 with a 7.43% increment in 24 hours. This is quite impressive for a coin that is reasonably priced under a dollar and less than ten cents. The current total supply stands at 21 Billion DGB. This figure is 21% of the number of Tron tokens in circulation. Its circulating supply is 10.227 Billion which is another 15.5% of the total number of TRX in circulation. This means that were the demand of DGB be considerable, then it would be a matter of time before that 47 cent value increases to $1.
So what exactly is DigiByte (DGB)?
DGB is a more secure, faster and forward thinking blockchain technology. These three key concepts are what makes the ‘small’ coin stand out from all the other coins and tokens making headlines on a daily basis.
In terms of decentralization, the DigiByte blockchain is spread over 200,000 servers, computers, phones, and nodes worldwide. It is capable of being connected to the Internet of Things via devices such as the aforementioned phones. This allows it to be a prime candidate for Artificial Intelligence adoption as the technology progresses.
The blockchain uses 5 secure and advanced algorithms thereby avoiding centralization of mining compared to single algorithm blockchains. The blockchain implements Digishield and Miltishield to protect itself from malicious attacks. The blockchain is also fast with a 15-second block timing speed. It even integrated SegWit before any other blockchain project.
So why buy in or use its features?
Firstly, it is reasonably priced at under 10 cents.
Secondly, previous market performance has seen the coin reach values of $0.129 on January 6th. This means that the coin can pack a punch in the markets.
Thirdly, DGB is a hidden gem amongst the over 1,500 coins and tokens out there.
A fourth reason to get some DGB is the availability of its Wallet on several noteworthy platforms. It is available on both 64 bit and 32-bit versions of Windows and Linux; available on Mac; available on Android; and available on DigiByte Go Wallet which is a Chrome extension. It is also compatible with the 3rd party wallets of Coinami, Nano Ledger S, Trezor and Exodus.
In a nutshell, DigiByte is a hidden gem in the cryptocurrency markets that has a promising future through its amazing capabilities.

Bitcoin price dumped hard on Monday, briefly slipping below $41,000, erasing gains recorded in the previous week. The premier cryptocurrency seems to have exhausted its recent rally propelled by industry vulnerabilities. At the time of writing, the world’s largest cryptocurrency was trading slightly lower at $41,385. Bitcoin’s total market cap has dipped by 2% over the past day, while the total volume of BTC tokens traded over the same period climbed by 58%.
Fundamentals
Bitcoin price has been facing retracements and a rollercoaster over the past few days after recently rocketing to a 20-month peak. On-chain data has suggested that many investors used the opportunity to take some profits, leading to a decline in the asset’s price.
Bitcoin’s price slump is mirrored in the wider crypto market, with the global crypto market cap decreasing by 1.85% over the past 24 hours to $1.55 trillion. The total crypto market volume has increased by 32% over the same period. The Crypto Fear and Greed Index has plunged from a level of extreme greed to a greed level of 70, suggesting a decline in risk appetite.
Ethereum, the largest altcoin by market capitalization, is currently trading at $2,167, down almost 3% for the day. Meme coins have been hit hard by the market slump, with Dogecoin and Shiba Inu down by more than 4% over the last day.
Last week on Thursday, cryptocurrency experts took notice of…
Bitcoin price edged lower on Thursday despite optimism in wider markets on the back of the Fed’s interest rate decision. The flagship cryptocurrency has been consolidating above the critical level of $42,000 after briefly topping $44,000, its highest level in 20 months. Bitcoin was trading 0.71% lower at $42,569 at press time. BTC’s total market cap has increased by more than 3% over the last day to $832 billion, while the total volume of the asset traded over the same period jumped by 22%.
Economic Outlook
Bitcoin price has been trading sideways over the past few days, suggesting a pause in its recent rally towards $45,000. The premier cryptocurrency has decreased by 4% in the past week but remains 15.22% higher in the month to date. The digital asset has staged a significant recovery this year after a torrid 2022 in which a string of scandals, including the collapse of FTX, led to a market meltdown, undermining the credibility of the sector.
The crypto market has been buoyed by the Fed’s latest interest rate decision. The US Federal Reserve on Wednesday held its key interest rate unchanged for the third consecutive time, in line with market expectations. With the easing of the inflation rate, members of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) voted to keep the benchmark overnight borrowing rate in a targeted range between 5.25%-5.5%.
Additionally, the central bank indicated that three rate…
Bitcoin price has been hovering above the $43,000 psychological level over the past two days amid anticipation about the potential approval of a spot bitcoin ETF. The flagship cryptocurrency has climbed more than 16% in the past week and nearly 170% in the year to date. Bitcoin’s total market cap has increased by nearly 5% over the past 24 hours to $858.9 billion, while the total volume of the token traded rose by 43%. The Bitcoin price was trading at $43,914 at press time.
Fundamentals
Bitcoin price has posted significant gains over the past few days, climbing to its highest level since April 2022, before the crash of a stablecoin that started a litany of company failures, pummeling crypto prices. The world’s largest cryptocurrency briefly topped the crucial level of $44,000 on Wednesday amid rising momentum despite being massively overbought.
According to analysts, with no spot bitcoin ETF approvals yet and the halving event five to six months away, the market is riding on FOMO. Capital has been flowing in the Bitcoin market amid enthusiasm that the launches of spot ETF will bring in billions of dollars of new investment into the crypto sector.
Investors have already started providing capital as seed money for ETF products. Notably, a recent report by CoinDesk showed that the world’s largest fund manager, BlackRock, received $100,000 in capital from a seed investor for its spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund…
