The Huge Transfer May Not Impact the Price of EOS
As expected, the huge EOS transfer shouldn’t significantly affect the price trend of the cryptocurrency, due to the nature of the transaction. The transaction was from an unknown wallet to another unknown wallet. It could have been another story if it was from an unknown wallet to crypto exchanges.
At the moment, virtually all the digital currencies in the market, including EOS, are experiencing an increase in value, and this is absolutely good for both crypto traders and investors.
EOS presently occupies 9th position ahead of Tezos (XTZ) that occupies 10th position. At the time of filing this report, EOS is trading at $2.69, with about a 2% price increase based on 24 hours estimation.
