Another important step for the growth and accessibility of the OVER platform. Kucoin is one of the most important crypto exchanges worldwide, consistently ranked among the top 5 exchanges from CoinMarketCap. With the OVR token listing, we’re officially making our first step into the Tier1 exchanges landscape. Another important achievement for OVER on the path to mass adoption, an amazing onramp to facilitate the onboarding of users unfamiliar with direct blockchain interaction”. KuCoin $OVR Listing Celebration Contest Over the Reality Metaverse in conjunction with KuCoin has announced an upcoming contest to celebrate its native token $OVR listing on KuCoin for qualified  KuCoin users. They’ve prepared a giveaway campaign containing a reward pool of 29,000 OVR (approximately $40,000) for the purpose of this celebration.

For any malicious acts conducted during the period, including malicious transaction manipulations, illegal bulk registration of accounts, self-dealing, etc., the platform will cancel the qualification of the participants. KuCoin reserves all rights to exercise at its sole discretion to define if the transaction behavior is counted as cheating behavior and determine whether to cancel the participation qualification of a user. The final decision made by KuCoin is with legal binding force to all participants who participated in the competition. Users hereby confirm that their registration and use of KuCoin are voluntary and are not forced, interfered with, or influenced by KuCoin in any way. Conclusion The $OVR token is definitely one to look out for. The introduction of IBCO provides a variable amount of $OVR  by issuing new tokens in response to price increases (when individuals buy OVR with DAI on the IBCO) and burns them in response to price declines (by acquiring tokens from the market with DAI reserves). Therefore, the IBCO’s ability to absorb liquidity is the key to accelerated token burn. From the KuCoin listing to the IBCO update, Over the reality metaverse platform is constantly working to build a highly profitable ecosystem without compromising on users’ experience.

What’s In A Name? Ethereum Domain Name Sales Climb 2,300%

Ethereum domain name sales have shot up to a colossal 2,300% with many big names like Vitalik Buterin (vitalik.eth), Paris Hilton (parishilton.eth), and the like rushing into the hype of buying the 3-digit domain identities.

Suggested Reading | SEC, Ripple Agree To Extend Legal Battle Until 2023; XRP Bears The Brunt Of Case What is ENS? The Ethereum Name Services (ENS) shortens long-winding and cumbersome crypto addresses into short and sweet URLs. ENS is under the Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) established in 2017 which has no centralized government. Nothing beats simplicity. And it’s the main selling point of Ethereum domain names.  ENS domains are three- to four-digit names that would end in “.eth”. It’s easier to read and remember than having to memorize or keep a tab of long and ambiguous strings of words. Each domain name is a minted NFT that is sold just like any other regular NFTs. ENS – Universal URL ENS names are said to be the game-changers in creating decentralized, simple, and universal key or URL logins that is a great alternative to using traditional Ethereum wallets. Many celebrities, entrepreneurs, and public figures are proudly using their ENS names as Twitter handles. The minimum number for ENS names is three and it’s the coveted number for many users. It’s important to note that only ENS names can be registered to an ETH wallet.

Some buyers purchase ENS names after the amount they bought it for like 999.eth if they bought it for 99.9 ETH. Three-digit ENS names would usually be set for 6 ETH or equivalent to roughly around $17,000. Similarly, if your CryptoPunk is number 3200 then you would be drawn to 3200.eth. Most NFR collections are numeric which is why ETH names in numbers are so hyped nowadays. The top-grossing NFT collections that are numbered include Moonbirds, Bored Apes, Clone X, and Azuki. A lot of NFT collectors are speculating as early as now on ENS subdomains. ENS names have a fixed or limited supply of only 10,000 domains which is why many people are trying to grab their own ENS while they still can to be a part of the elite and exclusive 10k Club.

Ethereum Trades Below $3,000 Support, Why Is ETH Falling Since November?

Ethereum has been on quite the journey, from splitting to creating its market presence within a few years. And now, they are looking at saving electricity and other concerns put forth by analysts with their latest validation protocol. The cryptocurrency supports several blockchain networks through its layers-2 services and validations.  With all these facts combined together, ETH could very well dethrone Bitcoin as the number 1 largest cryptocurrency network. Related Reading | TA: Ethereum Faces Key Challenge, Why Fresh Decline Still Possible Surprisingly, after all these achievements, one must wonder why Ethereum has been falling since November 2021 after hitting a new high. The reason is that the price is based on speculation about a protocol that will be launched in the future. Unfortunately, the actual date for the protocol has not been announced yet, so people are selling their ETH in anticipation of the lower price. With its current market capitalization, ETH is 10 times larger than Solana and close to 45% of BTC’s value. According to technical insights, there are strong supply and demand zones in the market because people want to buy things for less. FOMO (fear of missing out) has been a major driving force behind cryptocurrency prices. Ethereum Price Analysis ETH’s price trend has repeatedly beaten expectations, but because it is currently trading below the 200-day moving average (DMA) curve, there is a negative sentiment in the short term. With the crypto market still uncertain, buyers have made various attempts to breach Ethereum’s $3,600 level. But the 200-day moving average is slowly dropping. So if Ethereum surpasses this average, there could be a significant price movement to new high levels. ETH is in high demand at $2,400 levels, and there is a good chance that demand will increase even more in the coming days. The only resistance stopping it from going even higher is $3,200 to $3,600, preventing further growth. Since April 2022, the candlestick pattern when ETH 200 DMA failed to cross-resistance has a profit booking in free fall, stability, and more profitability bookings. On April 26, 2022, the crypto market experienced a 6% collapse. This seems to be due to concerns about the influence of Elon Musk on the crypto market.  Related Reading | Bitcoin Trades Above $40K Once Again, Will This Time Be Different? The ETH price decreased by 22% in April. The buying strength indicated by the RSI indicator has reduced by 66%. For the last six months, transaction volumes have remained the same, with spikes but average out at similar levels. ETH has a few milestone prices to surpass for the short term. However, before investing in Ethereum, traders should read more about the ETH’s future price momentum and explore market sentiments. The price trend for ETH has been strong for most of this year, but declining demand seems to be weakening. Unfortunately, this decline cannot be identified by looking at its historical data. So one must assess that prices above $4,000 will lead Ethereum upward while values below $2,500 drag them down further.    Featured image from Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com
