The YFII price has rebounded sharply in the past few days as investors buy the coin’s dip. The token is trading at $1,674, which is about 400% above the lowest level during the weekend. This price is still about 85% below its highest point on record. According to CoinGecko, DFI has a market cap of over $42 million.

What is DFI.money and why is it rising?

DFI is a blockchain project that is in the Decentralized Finance (DeFi) space. It is a leading platform that simply allows people to deposit their funds and then they can earn interest. It is a fork of Yearn Finance, one of the biggest blockchains in the world. 

The concept behind DFI.Money is that it aggregates various protocols like Compound, dYdx, Aave, and DDEX protocols and finds the one with the highest interest. Therefore, as an investor, you will simply add funds to the network, and then it will farm around and find the one with the highest yield.

After finding that asset, it then returns a proof-of-stake known as yToken, which users can send back at any time and withdraw their tokens and interest. YFII is the governance token for the DFI network.

Like other DeFi tokens, DFI.money has had a difficult period in the past few months as investors worry about the state of the industry. As a result, the total value locked in the industry has fallen from more than $250 billion to less than $75 billion. According to DeFi Llama, DFI has a total value locked of less than $100k, making it a relatively tiny platform.

It is unclear why the YFII price is surging. Since there is no new news about the coin, there is a possibility that investors are pumping the coin.

YFII price prediction

The four-hour chart shows that the YFII price went parabolic on Friday. As it rose, the coin managed to move above the important resistance level at $1,470, which was the highest point on May 14th. It has moved above all moving averages while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has jumped to the overbought level.

Therefore, in my view, I believe that the coin will retreat soon. If this happens, the next key support level to watch is at $660, which was the highest point on June 16th.

The Pi Network is a controversial “cryptocurrency” that has attracted millions of users from around the world. Supporters believe that it is the best alternative to Bitcoin while critics argue that it is a pyramid scheme and a scam. Since it is impossible to do a Pi Network price prediction, we will assess whether it is worth your time.

What is the Pi Network?

Pi Network is a ‘blockchain’ project that seeks to disrupt the cryptocurrency industry in a more environmentally friendly manner. 

It achieves this by solving the biggest challenge that Bitcoin has. With mining difficulty soaring, it has become almost impossible for an ordinary person to mine the coin. Today, Bitcoin mining is dominated by large companies like Hut 8 and Marathon Digital.

Pi Network solves this challenge by making it possible for people to mine using their smartphones. All you need is an Android or iOS smartphone and you are ready to go.

You also need a referral code from someone already in the network. After verifying your details, you will be ready to mine the Pi coin.

Mining is done in a simple way. Just open the application, click a button, and that’s it. As you do that, you will encounter some ads, which the company claims are needed for development purposes. 

Pi Network has become extremely popular. For example, in Android, it has more than 495k reviews, with the average being 4.5. Similarly, in iOS, it has more than 9,000 reviews.

Is Pi Network legit or a scam?

There are two sides to the Pi Network. Some people believe that it is a real cryptocurrency that will become popular with time.

In my view, I believe that it is both a scam and a pyramid scheme. For one, the Pi coins that users accumulate in their wallets are really worthless since one cannot cash out.

The developers have claimed that holders will be able to cash out when it is listed in major exchanges. It is unclear whether Pi Network will ever be listed in platforms like Binance and Coinbase. Besides, they have been talking about the listing for a while.

Most importantly, even when it is listed, it is unclear whether the Pi Network price will be stable. I expect that it will come under intense selling pressure as the current holders cash out. 

Therefore, the only people benefiting are the Pi Network developers who are now making virtually free money when people visit the app.

The cryptocurrency market looks set to end the week on a positive note after Bitcoin and others recorded gains in the last few days.

The cryptocurrency market has added more than 3% to its value in the last 24 hours. At press time, the total market cap stands above the $900 billion mark and could reach $950 billion before the end of the day.

Bitcoin looks set to surge past the $21k resistance level after adding more than 2% to its value today. Ether could move past the $1,200 mark if it continues with its current rally.

However, ONE, the native token of the Harmony Protocol, is among the worst performers amongst the leading cryptocurrencies. ONE has lost more than 10% of its value in the last 24 hours and could dip lower in the coming hours.

The negative performance can be attributed to the news that Harmony Protocol was hacked earlier today. On Friday, harmony Protocol announced via Twitter that it had identified a theft occurring on the Horizon bridge, leading to a $100 million loss to the hackers.

1/ The Harmony team has identified a theft occurring this morning on the Horizon bridge amounting to approx. $100MM. We have begun working with national authorities and forensic specialists to identify the culprit and retrieve the stolen funds.

The cryptocurrency could record further losses in the coming hours despite the efforts of the team to recover the funds.

Key levels to watch

The ONE/USD 4-hour chart is currently bearish as the cryptocurrency has been underperforming over the last few hours. 

The MACD line has slipped below the neutral zone, indicating a bearish trend. The 14-day RSI of 36 shows that ONE is currently in the oversold region and could record further losses soon.

At press time, ONE is trading at $0.0238. If the bearish trend continues, ONE could slip below the $0.020 level for the first time this month. However, the bulls should be able to defend ONE’s position above the $0.018 support level.

Bitgert price has crawled back in the past few days as the crypto industry bounces back. The BRISE token is trading at $0.00000034, which is about 33% above the lowest level during the weekend. It has a market cap of more than $146 million, according to CoinMarketCap. The company warns that it has not verified the market cap while CoinGecko has a question mark. 

What is Bitgert?

The blockchain industry has seen a lot of growth in the past few months as developers target some fast-growing industries like non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and decentralized finance (DeFi).

Many developers have moved to build applications that seek to dethrone Ethereum as the most preferred platform for building applications. 

Most developers and users find Ethereum to be a difficult cryptocurrency to use. For one, it is a relatively faster platform and the cost of handling a transaction has gone up dramatically. Some of the most important alternatives to Ethereum are Cardano, Polkadot, Cosmos, and Avalanche.

Bitgert is another relatively small blockchain platform that seeks to become a viable alternative to Ethereum. It is a faster platform that has no transaction costs. BRISE is its governance token.

The Bitgert price is rising slightly today after the network introduced BRC20-pegged USDT and USDC coins in its platform. These are the two biggest stablecoins in the industry. The statement said:

“The pegged tokens are always backed 1:1 by BRC20. So the value of the USDT BRC20 is pegged to the Bep20 USDT token as 1:1 collateral. So, the value of USDT BEP20 will always remain the same as the value of the BRC20 token. So the pegged tokens are similar to a stable coin on the Bitgert chain.”

Bitgert price prediction

The four-hour chart shows that the BRISE price has been crawling back in the past few days after it crashed to a low of $0.00000026. It has risen by more than 35% from its lowest level this year. The coin has managed to move above the important 25-day and 50-day moving averages while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has moved above the neutral point at 50. 

Therefore, there is a likelihood that Bitgert price will continue rising as bulls target the key resistance at $0.00000040.

SweatCoin, the popular fitness application, is set to launch its native cryptocurrency as its demand surges globally. The move-to-earn company is expected to have the biggest crypto launches in 2022 as the number of its users rise.

What is Sweatcoin?

SweatCoin is a fintech company that is changing how people work out. The application uses a user’s smartphone GPS to track their movements on a daily basis. For every 1,000 steps, the app pays the person 1 Sweatcoin, which they can then use within the network.

SweatCoin is disrupting some of the biggest economies in the world. Fitness is a multi-billion dollar industry that has a wide total addressable market (TAM). Besides, most people have a smartphone these days. 

In addition to fitness, the app has the potential to disrupt the non-fungible token (NFT) industry. A good example of this is what StepN did. StepN is a move-to-earn company that lets people buy and sell sneaker NFTs in its platform. 

SweatCoin has been in a strong growth path in the past few years. According to its social media pages, the coin now has more than 100 million users from around the world. It is also the most downloaded fitness in the world this year.

How will the SweatCoin crypto work?

A common challenge for SweatCoin is that presently, it is impossible to cash out accumulated coins. Therefore, two months ago, the developers announced that they will unveil their SWEAT cryptocurrency.

The goal is to allow people to cash out their accumulated coins from any exchange like Coinbase, Binance, and OKX. Also, holders of the coin will get a chance to take part in the platform’s governance.

There is a lot that we don’t know about the SweatCoin crypto. What we know is that it will be launched on the Near Protocol, which is one of the biggest smart contract platforms in the world. When announcing the partnership, SweatCoin’s CEO said:

“Blockchain wasn’t sophisticated or fast enough back in 2015, but thanks to NEAR, it is now.  SWEAT: the token turbocharges our mission to create an Open Economy of Movement for  a billion people.” 

Is the SWEAT crypto a good buy?

A common question is whether the SweatCoin price will rise when it goes public. It is hard to predict. However, we can expect some near-term volatility as holders of the coin cash out in a large scale. Also, it is worth noting that other move-to-earn tokens like StepN’s GMT and Step App have all crashed recently.
