Top places to buy EBT now

As EBT is such a new asset, it’s yet to be listed on major exchanges. You can still purchase EBT using a DEX (decentralised exchange) though, which just means there are a few extra steps. To buy EBT right now, follow these steps:

1. Buy BNB on a regulated exchange or broker, like Binance ›

We suggest Binance because it’s one of the world’s leading multi-asset trading platforms, an exchange and wallet all-in-one with some of the lowest fees in the industry. It’s also beginner-friendly, and has more payment methods available to users than any other available service.

2. Send your BNB to a compatible wallet like Trust Wallet or MetaMask

You’ll need to create your wallet, grab your address, and send your coins there.

3. Connect your wallet to the Pancakeswap DEX

Head to Pancakeswap, and ‚connect‘ your wallet to it.

4. You can now swap your BNB for EBT

Now that you’re connected, you’ll be able to swap for 100s of coins including EBT.

What is EBT?

EBT gives meme creators a chance to monetize their work. It was created to help aspiring meme creators showcase their talent as well. 

The platform is in the process of developing several revenue-generating features. There are plans to launch a series of lazy games with a play-to-earn opportunity. 

Its long-term goal is to establish itself as an industry leader in the DeFi sector.

Should I buy EBT today?

EBT can definitely be worth investing in if your timing is right. Unfortunately, this is often impossible to know in advance. Any investment decision should take your risk tolerance into account. Don’t take any price predictions at face value.

Price of Near token bounces back after Near Protocol stablecoin goes live

NEAR, the native token, of the Near Protocol, has surged today after the Near Protocol blockchain launched its widely anticipated stablecoin, the USN.

At the time of writing, the NEAR token had bounced back to $14.96 up 8.38% over the past 24 hours. The token is however still down by about 12% over the past week following a broader plunge in the crypto market over the past week.

Near Protocol’s USN stablecoin

The newly launched USN stablecoin is an algorithmic stablecoin. It uses a mix of tokenomics to maintain a ratio of 1:1 against the US dollar. It was launched by the NEAR Protocol-based decentralized organization called Decentral Bank.

People can burn NEAR tokens to mint the USN stablecoin and they can also burn the USN stablecoin to get NEAR tokens.

Decentral has said that early lenders would receive a yield of up to 20%, something that rivals that of the popular Terra’s UST stablecoin.

The reserves of the USN stablecoin will be maintained by the Decentral Bank DAO and the DAO shall hold monthly votes to distribute rewards amounting to $10 million for trading the USN.

Crowded stablecoin market

The USN will face tough competition within the stablecoin with Terra’s UST stablecoin being its main competitor. Terra’s UST already enjoys the backing of $2.5 billion in US dollars that are already in reserves.

There is also another anticipated stablecoin, the USDD from the Tron blockchain, that promises a 30% APY.

The majority of investors seem to use a wait-and-see approach to the USN stablecoin with the expectation that there will be more DeFi options in Near Protocol that shall give the USN stablecoin more utility.

Highlights April 26: Cryptos in the green, Dogecoin rallies 26%

The crypto market notably reversed yesterday’s deeply bearish trend with most cryptos in the green at the time of writing. 

Top cryptos

Bitcoin added more than 3% to its value today, currently trading for $40,500. Ethereum is up by over 5%. Other gainers include Terra and NEAR Protocol, whose tokens LUNA and NEAR are each up 7%.

The biggest top 20 winner by far is Dogecoin. It rallied 26% after Elon Musk’s offer to buy Twitter was accepted. The eccentric billionaire is taking the social media giant private. 

Dogecoin’s role as a payment method in it is expected to become far more significant. Shiba Inu also registered gains, albeit more modest ones of around 5%. 

Top movers

Top 100 cryptos are in the green with very few exceptions. Most added 3-6% to their value in the last 24 hours. 

More notable gainers include THORChain, Kadena and KNC with 9% each, The Graph with 14%, Oasis with 15%, and Synthetix at #100 with 11%. 

Why the surge of Oasis? 

To celebrate Oasis’ Mainnet upgrade Fountain Protocol, a lending platform on the blockchain, launched an airdrop with a total prize pool of 40,000 $ROSE and 400,000 $FTP. This event, in which these funds are being given out to participants, ends today. 

The reason for Synthetix’ surge could be its recently announced launch of liquidity incentives on Layer-2 Optimism. The ecosystem has allocated 12,000 SNX per week to incentivize voting for the sUSD Curve pool.

NEM and Amp are among the few losers, each down 2%. PanCake Swap shed 4% of its value in the last 24 h. All stablecoins are down, possibly signifying a retreat in USD value. 

Trending

Predictably, the biggest gainer is ELON BUYS TWITTER, which we introduced in yesterday’s recap. The newly created token on Binance Smart Chain (created by and for meme artists) gained a whopping 3,063% in the last 24 h.

Here is why DOGE is up by more than 24% in the last 24 hours

The broader cryptocurrency market has been performing well so far this week, but Dogecoin is currently leading the gains.

The cryptocurrency market is erasing the losses recorded over the weekend. The total market cap has increased by more than 3.5% over the past 24 hours and currently stands above $1.8 billion.

Bitcoin is trading around the $40k psychological level again, while Ether also rallied by 5% in the last 24 hours to reach the $3,00 mark.

However, DOGE, the native token of the Dogecoin ecosystem, is the best performer amongst the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market cap over the past few hours. DOGE is up by more than 20% over the past 24 hours.

The rally has DOGE overtake Avalanche and now occupies the tenth place in the market in terms of market cap.

DOGE’s ongoing rally is fueled by the news that Twitter’s board has accepted Elon Musk’s offer to acquire the company.

Musk is a huge fan of Dogecoin and investors are optimistic he will rollout DOGE payment options on the social media platform.

Key levels to watch

The DOGE/USD 4-hour chart is currently bullish as Dogecoin has outperformed the other major cryptocurrencies in the last 24 hours. The technical indicators show that DOGE has overcome its latest bearish trend.

The MACD line is above the neutral zone, indicating a bullish momentum for Dogecoin. The 14-day relative strength index of 67 indicates that Dogecoin could soon enter the overbought region if the momentum is sustained.

At press time, DOGE is trading at $0.158 per coin. If the bulls remain in charge, DOGE could surpass the first major resistance level at $0.165 before the end of the day.

However, with the support of the broader cryptocurrency market, DOGE could trade above the $0.175 level for the first time in months.
