New Layer-2 Project Movement (MOVE) Debuts with Strong Support
The Daily Hodl reports that a new Ethereum-based layer-2 project, known as Movement (MOVE), has launched with an impressive fully diluted valuation of over $7.7 billion. This debut is bolstered by support from major crypto exchanges like Binance and Upbit. MOVE's trading pairs include MOVE/BTC, MOVE/USDT, among others, and it carries a 'seed' tag on Binance due to its lower liquidity which may lead to higher volatility.
Korean exchange Upbit also supports the trading of MOVE tokens. The project's market cap stands at $1.7 billion, making it the 86th largest cryptocurrency currently available for trade. Venture capitalist Chris Burniske highlights Move’s potential in developing ecosystems such as Aptos and Sui.
