Rising Interests in New BSC-based Tokens
The growth in the number of active addresses on the Binance Smart Chain can be attributed to users’ intention to participate in newly launched crypto projects on the network.
New cryptocurrencies are launched on Binance-based decentralized exchanges PancakeSwap and PooCoin, almost on a daily basis.
Although not all of these cryptocurrencies guarantee massive returns, some of these projects, like Baby DogeCoin (BabyDoge), have turned average income earners into overnight millionaires.
Ethereum Led by NFTs: Ethereum’s monthly active addresses surged above five million as a result of interest in non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and play-to-earn (P2E) games.
The NFT sector is considered among the hottest niches in the crypto sphere at the moment, with billions of dollars traded across various NFT marketplaces, including OpenSea.
Last month, Dune Analytics reported that OpenSea saw a record $4.95 billion in trading volume.
Crypto Market Crash Contributed: In general, the value of the entire cryptocurrency market has been on a free fall since last year, with nearly 50% of the total market capitalization wiped off since it peaked above $3 billion.
Many investors see the market crash as an opportunity to increase their crypto holdings by buying cryptocurrency assets from exchanges and transferring them to their external wallets, in anticipation of the bull season.
