What is Band Protocol? The BAND protocol is essentially a decentralised cross-chain data oracle platform that facilitates various smart contracts by simply providing them with external data and application programming interfaces (APIs). It is supported by Sequoia Capital which is one of the leading venture capital firms and by Binance, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world. Band Protocol eradicates the need for requiring or relying on any centralised protocols or data. Hence, applications of smart contracts like DeFi, market prediction software and games can run independently.
Coinbase’s listing of BAND in its exchange will enable users to readily sell, buy, receive or hold BAND tokens in their wallet. In addition, users can also trade BAND on Coinbase Pro and store them in Coinbase Custody. The BAND crypto asset was one of the 18 assets that were in the most recent Coinbase’s listing procedures.
Token’s Value Increase Soon After The Listing In Coinbase
Meanwhile, the Coinbase listing has to an extent affected the token’s market value. BAND currently trades at $13.88 and is up by 2.1% in the last 24 hours. The token had set an intraday high of $15.41 only an hour after it got listed in the crypto exchange. BAND is ranked 51st as per its market capitalization and its total market capital stands at $284,540,963.
Moreover, the fact that the BAND’s market value has appreciated by almost 7000% this year itself cannot be ignored. To be precise, initially the BAND’s market cap this year was a mere $3.5 million and currently, it has grown to $284 million, marking an increase of over 7800%. On the other hand, if we consider its growth from the previous month, the BAND has shown an increase of over 1100% in its market value from $1.10 to $13.88. On the other hand, its counterpart, LINK (Chainlink’s native token) grew only by a meagre 659.551% since the start of the year.
