Author: The Binance train is showing no signs of slowing down after a recent increase by another 12% over the past two hours, bringing the current trading around $17 (the highest since June 2018), and recording a new all-time high against Bitcoin. The cryptocurrency has now seen a 60% increase over the past 30 days and a further 175% increase over the past 90 trading days.
The recent surge is coming minutes after Binance had announced on a change of format to the Binance Launchpad token sale. From the next Launchpad sale, the sale will be managed as a lottery draw. This is probably the major lesson following the overwhelming demand to the previous Celer Network sale.
What’s the relation to BNB? Each user has to hold a decent amount of the coin in order to become eligible to participate in the Launchpad lotteries.
Binance Coin in now ranked in 7th position as it presently holds a $2.23 billion market cap valuation.
