Major cryptocurrencies have been falling due to fears over a new mutation of Covid-19 that may be more transmissible. There are fears it could evade vaccines which brings the possibility of further restrictions and lockdowns.
The sell-off in global markets did not stop BAT from hitting a new all-time high. Basic Attention Token was up 40% at one point before correcting. This made it the best performing crypto in the top 100. A Solana partnership was announced two weeks ago and crypto exchange FTX recently announced support for wrapped BAT.
Basic Attention Token is the crypto token that powers the ‘Brave’ ecosystem. Users can earn these ERC-20 tokens simply by browsing the web with Brave. Creators can use the Brave publisher platform and earn tokens when users view their content. Brave also announced the integration of a crypto wallet on the browser.
‘Brave wallet’ will allow users to manage their crypto without the need for a browser extension. It will be compatible with Polygon, Avax and layer-2 chains which are built on top of Ethereum.
Price action in November has seen BAT trade within the range of $1 and $1.40. This was broken through with price reaching levels above $1.8. $2 could be the next target for bulls, but a drop below $1 cannot be ruled out due to the broader crypto market dipping. Let’s see if BAT can hold a price level above all-time highs.
