Why You Should Start Paying Attention To Football Fan Tokens

Fan tokens are becoming increasingly popular among cryptocurrency investors. They are an offshoot of the meme coin trend that saw various cryptocurrencies rally positively and now, these fan tokens have begun a trend of their own. The year 2022 is almost at its end but there are still good reasons why these fan tokens are a good thing to keep an eye on. Why Football Fan Tokens? Football fan tokens have taken the crypto market by storm over the past year. Coins like the Manchester City Fan Token and the Santos FC Fan Token have performed tremendously well, exceeding all expectations. But even though they have already grown so much, there may be more upside for these fan tokens. Related Reading: Why Crypto Market Sentiment May Present A Unique Buying Opportunity One of the major reasons behind the renewed interest in fan tokens is the upcoming FIFA World Cup. This is argued by some to be the biggest sports competition in the world where the official football clubs of different countries compete for the title. A large portion of the world’s population also tunes in for the competition. The FIFA World Cup 2018 held in Russia saw a total of 3.5 billion viewers around the world, and this year’s edition of the competition held in Qatar is expected to draw in an estimated 5 billion viewers. The sheer number of people tuning in to support their favorite clubs is a bull case for the digital assets. A good number of them are expected to see a massive upside when the World Cup begins in November.  CITY trading at $5.7 | Source: CITYUSD on TradingView.com Already Seeing Upside The football fan tokens are already seeing some upside ahead of the start of the FIFA World Cup. Over the last 24 hours, the searches for the cryptocurrencies have been on the rise, resulting in them appearing at the top of the trending list on Coinmarketcap.

Lido DAO Shows Strength To Breakout; Will The Downtrend Line Be Invalidated?

LDO price shows strength for the first time after post-merge. LDO bounces from the downtrend, hoping to end its bearish run as the price eyes a possible breakout from the downtrend line.  The price of LDO shows bullish signs as price trades below 50 and 200 Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) with good volume.  The price of Lido DAO (LDO) has been one of the best performances before the “Ethereum Merge,” outperforming the market as the price rallied to an all-time high of $3 against tether (USDT). Although the crypto market faced a new drawback as Bitcoin (BTC) price dropped from a region of $19,000 to $18,100 as the Consumer Price Index (CPI) suggests an increase in inflation affecting the price of BTC negatively with altcoins affected, with recovery from BTC altcoins like Lido DAO showed some strength as the aim to begin a rally. (Data from Binance) Related Reading: Quant (QNT) Holds Gains When Top Cryptos Plummet Following BTC Lido DAO (LDO) Price Analysis On The Weekly Chart Although the crypto market experienced a sharp decline due to the CPI news, the market appeared to be manipulated as Bitcoin’s (BTC) price dropped from $19,200 to $18,200 in hours. The market quickly recovered as most altcoins began to show strength, with LDO looking to breakout of its downtrend that has made the price become crippled to rally. With the current rise in the value of Bitcoin Dominance (BTC.D) after a long while, it is still unclear how the current price bounce after the price decline will be sustained. With BTC.D rising, most altcoins will suffer an increased price decline when BTC retraces. Uptober has been a good month for some altcoins, with many expecting such good moments for LDO after the token returned to the ashes after “Ethereum Merge” was successful. The price of LDO, after the rejection at $3, has seen for of a downtrend than an uptrend as the price has retained its bearish structure despite showing a little glimpse of price bounce to $2.2 but the price face more sell-off as the price declined to a region of $1 before bouncing off.  Weekly resistance for the price of LDO – $2.2.

New Study Reveals Best Stablecoin, Why DAI Took The Crown

Decentralized stablecoin DAI, native to Maker protocol, might become a major leader in the sector over the coming years. The digital asset was the most stable of the stablecoin in a period of 9 months, according to research published by Best Brokers. Related Reading: Ethereum Name Service (ENS) Moves Silently With 20% Rise, Will Price Retest $27? A stablecoin is a digital asset whose value is pegged to the U.S. dollar in a 1:1 parity. The concept is controversial in the crypto industry, as some of the most popular and valuable stablecoins have de-pegged and become unstable at some point except for those tokens considered “too centralized” by the community. Users have been looking for a decentralized stablecoin for years, and with the failed Terra ecosystem, DAI might take this place and take over market share from the largest stablecoins, Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC). DAI More Stable Than Any Other Stablecoin The study used data from Dune Analytics and explore popular stablecoins BUSD, DAI, FRAX, LUSD, USDC, and USDT. The research concluded that FRAX saw the least price deviation over the past 9 months. The digital asset was stable at 99.75% of these periods, followed by DAI at 95.73%, and USDC at 99.72%. LUSD was the most unstable with a 0.5% deviation from its $1 peg at 53% of the 9-month period. Of the stablecoins in the study, DAI, BUSD, and USDC have never deviated below $0.995 to the downside and $1.005 to the upside. As seen in the chart below, Tether (USDT) was the largest stablecoin with the largest percentage in price deviation over the past 9 months at 0.78%. However, DAI took the top spot in the least deviation percentage from its peg. The decentralized stablecoin fluctuated 0.5% from its normal value, 0.27% of the 9 months probed by the study. Thus, DAI is the steadiest stablecoin deviating to only $0.99640185 of its 1:1 value with the U.S. dollar. USDC closely follows in the second place with a $0.9962163333 deviation. Tether showed the worst performance in the research with a deviation of $0.97, as seen in the chart below. Alan Goldberg, market analyst at BestBroker, stated the following on their results, and DAI’s potential to attract institutions purely based on its stability: DAI’s stability is considerable. A lot of corporate adopters would prefer having assets that aren’t volatile as they already have to deal with competition, inflation, market conditions, etc. Having that in mind makes DAI very serious competition to the likes of USDC.

However, the demand for a decentralized stable medium of exchange remains high with DAI poised to continue gaining relevance in this sector. Goldberg added: Although the DAI’s supply is low, compared to USDC, USDT and BUSD, it is still sizeable and makes it usable by big companies. When we consider both the low deviation and the most stable price, DAI can be considered as the most stable coin for the last 9 months and a serious contender to compete with the other ‘big’ stablecoins.
