1INCH Breaks Out to New ATH
Amid the continuous evolution of the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem to encompass the whole of the cryptocurrency sector, the race of becoming the top decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregator is heating up as new entrants to the field are emerging every week.
Recently, one such DEX aggregator that has seen its price reach a new record high is 1INCH- a protocol that offers "access to the most liquidity, lowest slippage and best exchange rates across Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain."
Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView reveals that after hitting a low near $5.15 on May 5, the price of 1INCH surged 47% higher to reach a new all-time high of $7.55.
The recent price growth of 1INCH was sparked by the May 6 announcement that the protocol had aggregated the liquidity available from the rapidly rising MDEX DeFi ecosystem that operates on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC). This new integration will expand the reach of 1Inch and concrete its position as the most widely integrated DeFi aggregator till date.
The announced integration of MDEX liquidity was followed by the release of the 1INCH Wallet, which offers a "user-friendly entry point to DeFi." At the same time, the team also announced its partnership with the WireX (WXT) digital payment platform to help migrate 20% of the WXT token supply from the Stellar (XLM) network to the Ethereum (ETH) network. All these latest developments helped the 1INCH rally to a new record high at $7.55 on May 6 before profit-taking dropped the price as low as $6.30.
Following the price pullback, the team of 1INCH also announced the integration of Uniswap (UNI) V3, which was launched on May 5. Due to this, 1INCH price rallied 13% following the announcement to an intraday high at $7.13.
The project's recent integrations to the Binance Smart Chain, the release of its native Wallet, and the fact that it is one of the most used DEXs on the Ethereum network are all signals that the project is leading the way for automated market-making and DeFi yield opportunities in the crypto space. Each of these developments suggests the token is well positioned for further upside.
