XDB is one of the Biggest Gainers on CoinMarketCap, despite current market conditions. On April 1, 2020 XDB jumped more than 43% and was ranked 6th among the day’s best performers. The token’s odd-beating performance could be a result of its official launch on KuCoin, one of the most popular cryptocurrency exchanges. It could also be the result of the appealing value proposition made by its issuer, DigitalBits.

In the span of three years since Tether’s legitimacy came into question, a wide array of alternative stablecoins have flooded crypto markets. These solutions implement everything from seigniorage algorithms to fractional reserves, all looking to solve the space’s volatility problem. DigitalBits brings something new, and perhaps more practical, to the table: branded stablecoins.

The company defines these as a second generation of stablecoins that “move past simply combining stability with blockchain technology, to enhancing the relationship that exists between consumers and brands.” A solution that may be a boon to countless brands that resort to point systems to develop relationships with consumers. On the DigitalBits protocol, they can deploy their own branded stablecoins and other tokenized assets that represent real world value. These can be denominated in US dollars as well as other assets, making them more understandable to consumers than the complicated reward systems that are currently the norm.

Brands that choose to develop their own stablecoin on the protocol would benefit from features such as better insights into consumer behavior and easy interoperability with other participants in the network. These new assets would integrate seamlessly into their existing applications and would not interfere with their consumer’s spending habits.

This is a market niche that has been all but ignored by the cryptocurrency industry due to its focus on Decentralized Finance as of late. As XDB continues its growth among cryptocurrency investors, its next steps might include users that are unfamiliar with the industry altogether. Everyday consumers could soon be exposed to cryptocurrencies, in the form of branded stablecoins, just by buying their favorite products.

Project Summary:

DigitalBits is a protocol layer blockchain built to support consumer digital assets, specifically branded currencies. With a focus on mainstream crypto adoption, DigitalBits aims to solve a real-world problem by integrating with consumer brands.

BNB price has noted significant gains over the past few days, surging past the psychological resistance of $300. The native cryptocurrency of the Binance Exchange has surpassed Solana to regain its position as the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. The digital currency has been rallying lately with a 7-day profit of more than 15%. Additionally, BNB has clocked a phenomenal gain of 38% in the month to date.

Binance Coin Outlook

BNB price has been on a strong bull run for the past week, breaking out of its consolidation. Even so, the asset has experienced a correction in its uptrend over the past 24 hours but remains above the crucial level of $300. BNB’s total market cap has decreased by 4% over the past day to $48 billion, while the total volume of the asset traded over the same period dipped by about 15%.

Over the past year, Binance Coin has had to cope with Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD) on the back of the regulatory troubles of its underlying exchange. Earlier, the BNB price touched a low of $223.50, a few days after its former CEO, Changpeng Zhao, pleaded guilty to money laundering charges. However, the cryptocurrency has managed to rebound 46% in value since then.

The recent price rally has been associated with various positive developments in the Binance ecosystem, including the Introduction of the Isolated Margin Auto-Transfer Mode. This feature enables…

Solana Price Surges Beyond $100, Dethroning Ripple and BNB To Secure Fourth Place

Solana price performance in recent times has been remarkable, surpassing Ripple and Binance Coin to become the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. The SOL price breached the critical level of $100 for the first time since April 2022 over the weekend to imbue optimism among investors. However, the altcoin has corrected by 7%, suggesting that the market is overheated. At the time of writing, the ‘Ethereum killer’ was trading slightly lower at $111.60.

SOL Outlook

Solana price has made a significant recovery over the past few weeks, climbing above the psychological level of $100. The altcoin has been one of the best-performing assets this year, extending its year-to-date gains to more than 1,025%, with more gains recorded in the past month alone. However, even with such growth, analysts have noted that Solana has a bleak chance of topping its ATH of $260.

The reason behind this is the increase in supply relative to its value. In November 2021, when the Solana price hit its all-time high of $260, its total market capitalization was around $78 billion. Despite the value of the crypto asset being less than half of what it was at the top, its market cap is currently hovering near $50 billion.

This has been brought about by the increase in the Solana supply by more than 100 million SOL over the past two years. According to some analysts, for the altcoin to retest $260, its…

Solana price has noted significant gains over the past few weeks, climbing to its highest level since April 2022. The ‘Ethereum Killer’ almost topped the crucial level of $100 on Friday, before pulling back slightly. The asset’s recent surge has catapulted Solana’s total market cap to $39.6 billion, ranking 5^th after and above BNB and XRP, respectively. Solana has jumped by more than 22% in the past week and more than 80% in the month to date. At the time of writing, SOL price was trading 0.90% lower at $93.10.

Catalysts Behind SOL’s Rally

Solana price has been on a strong bull run over the past few days, rocketing to its highest level in 20 months as the network benefits from the substantial activity and strong interest in memecoins. The SOL token, the native digital asset of the high-performance blockchain platform Solana, has shown some serious strength over the past few weeks, outperforming all the altcoins in the market.

The recent surge in the Solana price has been linked to heightened on-chain activities on the Solana blockchain. Notably, the ongoing hype for the blockchain’s speedy transactions, cheap fees, and a lottery of meme coin issuances has buoyed SOL’s on-chain activity. Metrics have revealed that Solana has been the strongest draw among on-chain traders, with trading volumes and network fees outperforming Ethereum- the largest altcoin by market cap.
