Filecoin (FIL)
FIL price rallied to new all-time highs of $237 on April 1st. This move caused the decentralized storage network to enter the list of top 10 coins, briefly flipping Litecoin and Chainlink. Increased institutional demand for FIL tokens surged as inflows into the Grayscale Investments’ Filecoin Trust picked up the pace on Thursday, causing FIL price to skyrocket. This may seem just the beginning as Wu Blockchain, a crypto-journalist based in China indicated that the demand for FIL has been heating up in China.
Recently, the daily volume of FIL on Huobi, which ranks as China’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, reached $24.2 billion. Bearish advance however caused Filecoin to erase most of the gains amassed in the last 24 hours, trading to lows of $180 as at the time of writing. It was also placed 11th position on crypto asset market capitalization ranking.
Helium (HNT)
Helium (HNT) has rallied from $5.61 on March 12 to $13.93 on April 2nd, nearly a 250% jump within the said time frame. The Helium protocol aims to build a decentralized wireless network and connect IoT devices at a fraction of the cost of the current cellular service providers. Since February 2021, the number of active hotspots has jumped from 18,000 to 24,572.
This number is likely to increase as one of its third-party HNT Miner suppliers said that it had shipped 2,000 Miners to customers in China on March 31. If HNT’s popularity increases in China, the number of hotspots could continue to rise. Helium rose to all-time highs of $13.57 on April 2.
