DeFi has become the main topic of conversation in the crypto market and, in the sector, some projects manage to stand out. Today’s is Pickle Finance, a project that has had an interesting performance in the sector.
A 1,000% increase in 24 hours?
Yes, it seems that the projects in DeFi that are linked to some kind of food are a success during the last quarter.
Pickle Finance was born on September 11 and works like other highly regarded DeFi protocols that reward users who provide liquidity with high interest and additional token rewards.
But the project points to a differentiator. According to their post, the idea is to use incentives to reduce the premium that users are paying for certain stablecoins like DAI or Synthetix USD.
Basically, as the Pickle PicoPaper explains, the goal is to get people to sell stablecoins above parity and buy below parity.
Some are probably wondering: Why is that your goal? The reason is that stablecoins often trade above their valuation, providing opportunities for arbitrage.
And, as they have to suppose, a stablecoin that is not stable does not make much sense and, less, useful in the crypto community.
As we mentioned earlier, it came to light on September 11, the next day the token was valued at a low of $ 4.90. Two days later his rocket took off to peak.
And that’s how over the weekend the project made $ 53 million in 24-hour volume, as its governance token, PICKLE, traded as high as $ 85, according to CoinGecko. Which translated into an increase of more than 1,000% in 24 hours.
According to CoinTelegraph, the project has already accumulated more than $ 347 million in total locked value, or TVL. Right now, Pickle is trading at $ 60.83.
Will Pickle Finance Succeed? Or, will it be another crypto disappointment to add to the list?
