Here’s why Frax Finance (FXS) token soared today

  • Frax Finance is looking to mirror Uniswap’s proposal to allocate protocol fees to stakers
  • FXS price surged to highs of $9.64 and could break above $10 if bulls hold onto gains.

After the Uniswap Foundation released a proposal seeking to distribute network fees to UNI stakers, the team at Frax Finance have outlined a similar proposal. Frax Finance founder Sam Kazemian outlined this during an interview with CoinDesk.

The Frax Finance team had earlier hinted at this on February 23 via a post on X.

FXS toke surges amid UNI-like proposal

Last week, the Uniswap (UNI) token jumped on news of the protocol’s revenue share proposal. Frax Finance’s governance token FXS is also rising after the project’s latest move. While the commUNIty rejected a proposal aimed at sharing revenue in 2022, the current outlook led by Uniswap could get the nod.

If it does, FXS holders can lock their tokens for veFXS, which would attract a share of the protocol revenue. Users can stake veFXS on Ethereum mainnet and on Fraxtal, the layer-2 protocol of Frax Finance.

FXS traded to highs near $11 on February 5. Today’s 8% spike pushed it to highs of $9.64, levels seen on February 20.

With the broader DeFi ecosystem witnessing a bump in prices amid UNI token’s surge last week, further gains for FXS could push it back above $10.

Above this, FXS could target $12, the March 2023 resistance level. Bulls could then eye the all-time high of $42.80 hit in January 2022. On the flipside, Frax Finance price has primary support at $8 and potentially $7.

Crypto market ‘dramatically underestimates’ bullishness of spot Bitcoin ETFs

Image
“It’s reckless not to aggressively accumulate BTC at current levels,” K33 senior analyst Velte Lund said in a recent report. The potential of a spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded fund (ETF) approval to drive prices up is dramatically underestimated by the crypto market , claim analysts from crypto research firm K33 — formerly Arcane Research.  In a Sept. 5 market report, K33 senior analyst Vetle Lunde and vice president Anders Helseth said the last three months had greatly improved the chances of a spot Bitcoin ETF approval despite the sentiment not being reflected in the price of Bitcoin or other mainstay crypto assets. The analysts explained while Bitcoin had all but given up its gains in the wake of Grayscale’s legal victory over the Securities and Exchange Commission — an approval would “attract enormous inflows” and significantly increase buying pressure for Bitcoin. Bitcoin returned its gains in the wake of Grayscale's victory. Source: K33 Research However, the downside of ...

Crypto Bias Blocks People from Seeing Coinbase as Goldman 2.0: Bitwise CEO

In a recent tweet, Hunter Horsley, CEO of Bitwise Asset Management, shared his frustration with the poor attention given to the US-based crypto, Coinbase, claiming that people are “sleeping” on the crypto business. Horsley argued that while big banks like Goldman Sachs attempt to avoid a “slow death” by investing in technology, APIs, and retail services, Coinbase has already achieved what many banks strive to attain. He points out that the exchange has an exceptional institutional team with 25% of the most significant hedge funds as clients, over 50% institutional volume, and a suite of first-class tech products. The Bitwise CEO also claimed that Coinbase co-invented the USDC payment rail, facilitating $2 trillion in transfers in 2022 Q4 alone. Rant — People are sleeping on Coinbase. Big banks like GS are working to avoid slow death by getting into technology, APIs (Apple deal), more retail services (Marcus), while grappling with the heft of legacy biz, rate exposure, ...
