The cryptocurrency market rose in value on Monday and rebounded from Friday’s slump triggered by China’s trade and mining ban, while sushi and uniswap decentralized exchange tokens were the main beneficiaries of the rebound.
Last week, China banned all trading and mining activities and banned Forex from doing business with users on the mainland, sparking a sell-off that wiped out the value of the entire crypto market by up to $ 200 billion in one place in a single day.
But by Monday, Bitcoin, Ether, and a host of smaller coins were on their way to making up much of those losses, with DEX coins rising higher.
Uniswap – the largest DEX token by market value – rose 37% earlier in the day, but reduced some of those gains to around $ 24.69, plus 12% by 6:11 a.m. ET, while smaller rival Sushi was up as much as 29% . , but recently up 5% to USD 11.00 according to Binance data. DEX coins come from decentralized platforms that allow their users to trade without any kind of intermediary such as broker, bank or clearing house.
“Ether, Uniswap and Sushiswap have all increased in the last 24 hours because the China ban created a narrative that Chinese citizens will flock to DeFi solutions,” Marcus Sotiriou, sales trader at digital asset broker GlobalBlock told Insider.
Uniswap and Sushiswap are two of the largest decentralized exchanges, so it was no surprise that their native tokens were ahead of the pack, he added.
“It may well be that China’s previously announced raids were built into prices, which meant the knee-jerk reaction was quickly losing steam,” said Jeffrey Halley, senior market analyst for OANDA, a foreign exchange company, in a statement to clients on Monday .
“Bitcoin has shown some resilience over the weekend sessions and has now made up most of those losses,” Halley said.
China has waged a year-long campaign against virtual currencies since 2013 when it banned banks from processing Bitcoin transactions. In 2017, it also ordered local cryptocurrency exchanges to cease operations, forcing people in China to use offshore exchanges. Earlier this year, Beijing cracked down on financial institutions that offer crypto services as well as bitcoin mining.
Now China is going even further, targeting individuals, not just corporations, and blocking opportunities to bypass previous limits, despite Friday’s ban stopped banning ownership of cryptocurrencies.
Elsewhere in the market, ether, the second largest cryptocurrency after Bitcoin, was last up around 5% to $ 3,109.29 on the Kraken exchange, making it one of the stronger performers among the larger tokens, while Bitcoin was up 1.4% gained $ 43,869 on CoinMarketCap.
GlobalBlocks’ Sotiriou noted that most of the decentralized financial applications – including some exchanges – are built on top of the Ethereum network, which would explain Ether’s outperformance on Monday.
