EOS Price Gains Result in Surpassing ₿itcoin Cash by Market Cap

Eos price gains result in surpassing ₿itcoin cash by market cap


Although it has seemingly gone by unnoticed, the EOS ecosystem is in quite a good place right now. Following the most recent price gains, this altcoin is now ranked #4th in terms of overall market cap, surpassing ₿itcoin Cash. The current EOS price sits at $2.33, although it appears as if there is some room left for future growth over the coming days.

Strong EOS Price Trend has Speculators Excited

It is evident nearly al cryptocurrencies, tokens, and digital assets rely on ₿itcoin’s price first and foremost. As such, one wouldn’t necessarily expect to see so much green across the price charts right now. Especially where EOS is concerned, the most recent market activity has seemingly been a lackluster. Even so, the altcoin surpassed ₿itcoin Cash in market cap without too much effort.

Over the past 24 hours, the EOS price increased by 1.57%. Because of this gain, one EOS is now valued at $2.33, or 66,946 Satoshi. Both of these gains are quite interesting to keep an eye on, even if they might not woo a lot of investors. It is evident there is a genuine interest in EOS right now, as the trading volume sits well above $800 million.

On social media, it seems there is a lot of attention on OS right now. Pantera Capital’s Paul Veradittakit released a new report regarding the dApps ecosystem on the EOS blockchain. All of the signs are very promising in this regard, as over 235 apps are active on the network today. It is evident this project brings strong competition to Ethereum, Tron, NEO, and others who want to facilitate the building of distributed applications.


In other positive news, it appears BetKing is preparing to launch a new cryptocurrency exchange in the near future. Said platform will support major trading pairs and popular EOS and ETH tokens. This new project can ensure there will be even more liquidity for EOS as a whole in the near future. It is also interesting to see this popular gambling platform explore options on the exchange side of the spectrum.

Last but not least, it would appear EOS continues to make inroads in the business sector. The tweet by Benjamin McKenna Finch shows EOS will find a market in the career center technology industry. A very interesting development, although it remains to be seen how big this impact will be once everything is said and done. New solutions need to be built and brought to market first and foremost.

All of these signs point toward a rather bright future for EOS in many different ways. Whether or not any of these behind-the-scenes developments will affect the price in any way, remains to be determined. Anything is possible in the cryptocurrency industry, although it seems the current price trend has little to do with actual developments.

Investors Should be More Careful in Which ICOs They Invest

As Initial Coin Offerings are rising in popularity, experts are advising investors to be careful about fraudulent token sales.


Fraudulent ICOs

Fraudulent ICOs

Initial Coin Offerings, or ICOs, have become increasingly popular over the past year. Many interesting projects and startups have decided to raise funds through ICOs instead of through venture capitalists. According to the cryptocurrency statistics website CoinSchedule, over $3 billion was invested in many different token sales this year alone. The reason why so many individuals and hedge funds are heavily investing in ICOs is the potential high return on their investments.

Most ICOs have returned very impressive returns for the early investors, and thus they manage to catch the attention of more new investors. But some experts warn that potential fraudulent ICOs might try to abuse the current market trend in order to raise funds without delivering any products. In a recent CNBC interview, co-founder of Ethereum Joseph Lubin and CEO of Ripple Brad Garlinghouse, they gave statements regarding the current token sale trend. The Ethereum co-founder stated following:

High-quality projects, but there have been a lot of copycat projects where people copy all the same materials (and) don’t intend to deliver any value to the people buying the tokens

These fraudulent token sales have also caught the attention of the Chinese government. In a quick response, Chinese regulators decided to effectively ban any ICOs and token sales in China until the government implements proper regulations. Lubin stated following regarding the Chinese ICO ban:

With China’s political approach to things, and with the fraud that was rampant there, it made a lot of sense for them to pause things a little bit and get a better, deeper understanding of the ecosystem, and scare potential fraud perpetrators

Token sales are also a very important component in order to drive innovation in the cryptocurrency and tech community according to analysts. Garlinghouse stated following:

There are a lot of really fabulous things that get done with digital assets and blockchain technologies to reduce friction, to reduce costs, and enable things that weren’t possible before. I think instead of focusing on those, we’re distracted by what’s going on in this gray area

More Regulations?

More Regulations?

China isn’t the only government that took a stance on ICOs. The South Korean government has also moved on banning token sales until further notice. Experts believe that more governments worldwide are going to implement and enforce regulations for token sales, in order to protect consumers and investors from scams. US and UK regulators are currently observing the ICOs markets before they decide to implement regulations.  Many cryptocurrency community members believe that more regulations might hinder and potentially even damage the progress of bitcoin and blockchain technology development in the future.
