Here is why the price of XDC Network (XDC) coin has been surging in the past two weeks

While the majority of the altcoins are dipping, the price of the XDC coin has been rallying in the past two weeks.

Yesterday the price of the XDC coin surged by more than 13% hitting a daily high of $0.06817 before tracing back to today’s price level of $0.06077. The coin has rallied by over 7.8% over the past seven days and by over 11.0% in the past two weeks.

In this article, we will focus on the reasons why XDC Network’s price has been rising in the past two weeks.

XDCNFT project launch by BlocksWorkz tech firm

One of the main reasons for the current price surge is its recent project (XDCNFT) launch by BlocksWorkz tech firm.

The project is a Non-Fungible Token, (NFT) marketplace that uses XinFin’s blockchain technology (XRC20 network).

The project’s new features

Even though the project was launched at the beginning of this year, 2022, it has continued to add more new features and new NFTs. The NFT partnerships with XDCNFT have also caused it to gain more traction.

In addition to these new and exclusive features, XDCNFT offers only 1% transaction fees and free installation.

XDCNFT tokens

XDCNFT only accepts two tokens for the purchase of NFTs. These tokens are; the XDC (XinFin’s native token) and BLKZ (BlockWorks native token).

All the XDCNFT users are required to have either of the two tokens to sell or buy the NFTs of their choice. Besides, as the number of XDCNFT users increases, the number of BLKZ and XDC holders has also been increasing.

However, the XDC token will have a greater impact on buying as compared to the BLKZ token. This is because XDC has more circulation and usage in the market.

In addition, the increased number of XDC transactions on the XRC20 network increases the market price of the XDC token.

Significant downside risk could push Decentraland (MANA) to $1 in the coming days

Decentraland (MANA) has continued to push lower over the last few days. The coin has in fact been under pressure for all of April. Sadly, it doesn’t seem like things will improve soon as MANA sells off. Here is what you need to know:

  • Despite consistently dropping for the last month, a trend reversal for MANA is unlikely for now.

  • The coin may bottom at $1 in the near term before its next bull run

  • MANA has closed in the red for 5 straight trading sessions.

Decentraland (MANA) – price prediction 

April has been one of the most difficult months for MANA. The coin has largely been on a downtrend for the whole month, and while there were some signs the sell-off could ease, so far, the price action has failed to rally. But the worse is not even over yet.

In fact, we do not expect any reversal of this downtrend anytime soon. As a result, MANA will continue to fall in the near term and could bottom at $1 before its next bull run. This will be a loss of nearly 50% from its current price.

Besides, MANA’s fall did not start in April. The coin had in fact peaked in February and was trading at around $3.55. This was the best price in 2022. However, MANA has lost over 50% from those highs, with more losses expected to come in the coming weeks.

Will MANA rise again?

Yes, MANA will rise again. The metaverse coin still has a lot of upside in the longer term. However, current sentiment in the market remains very unpredictable. 

We are likely to see a sustained period of volatility and selling pressure before the price action finally stabilizes. Despite all this, we still think that MANA will deliver incredible returns this year, even though it will struggle to hit the success of 2021.
