This Week: EOS Re-Enters the Top 40 As It Crosses the One Dollar Mark

For eight weeks running EOS has put up its most bullish developments of the year, which suggests that its ecosystem is growing stronger and more bullish with each new initiative. During this year-long bear market EOS has been outperforming most blockchain projects in terms of development. It has also been quietly gaining market share after falling out of the Top 50 rankings on CoinMarketCap earlier in the year.

This week has seen EOS cross over the one-dollar mark as a result of bullish sentiment following the EOS Network Foundation’s (ENF) launch of a $100 million EOS VC last month. This and many other bullish developments in the EOS ecosystem have created the momentum that has propelled EOS into regaining its spot in the Top 40 rankings on CoinMarketCap.

Still, raising the question of whether or not it is being undervalued by the market as it looks to make its way back to a Top 5 crypto asset in the industry.

Binance integrates USDT (Tether) on the EOS Network

In a much welcomed announcement, Binance announced that it completed the integration of USDT, allowing users to withdraw and deposit their USDT assets onto the EOS network. This provides both EOS and Binance users with a cheaper and faster way to do transactions on the blockchain. A move that comes as a result of the ENF’s lobbying efforts to boost economic activity on the EOS network.

The following are statements made by ENF founder and CEO, Yves La Rose, following Binance’s announcement.

“Overall, the last missing piece for EOS DeFi was native Tether support. Adding USDT support helps by: (1) Increasing Liquidity, growing TVL, (2) Making EOS more trader-friendly, boosting DeFi activity, (3) Helping establish EOS as the primary rails for on-chain Tether movement.”

“Now that EOS has Tether support, we expect it to compete with Solana and Tron to be the primary rails for bringing Tether on-chain. The competitive advantage EOS offers is that it's as reliable and secure as Ethereum, but as performant and cheap as Solana or Tron.”

Yield+ Report (November 2022)

Continuing on the path of building a strong DeFi ecosystem on EOS by incentivizing increased economic activity on its network, the ENF has published the latest monthly report on the Yield+ initiative. The report covers performance metrics of Yield+, as well as comparisons with the wider market.

Having launched just three months ago the Yield+ initiative is still in its early phase where the main goal is to drive adoption through the Total Value Locked (TVL) to Market Cap ratio. This is because in these early stages EOS maintains a significant market cap yet still lacks significant on-chain economic activity (or TVL).

The Yield+ initiative is showing signs of progress and growth as the TVL on its platform keeps steadily rising despite the EOS price which has relatively been stagnant during the bear market. But also a sign of great potential for the economic growth of the EOS ecosystem, especially when compared to the other leading blockchains.
