Many native tokens of shared storage protocols in Hong Kong have seen a surge in value since the announcement of crypto. The expected launch of FVM has seen Filecoin’s native token FIL rise rapidly from $5 a week earlier to $8.47 Wednesday. This is a more than 65% increase according to CoinMarketCap data.
China’s Love for Filecoin
China is a big fan of Filecoin for many reasons. China’s inequal domestic investment landscape and strict capital controls are just two reasons why Filecoin is so popular. Investors have turned to reputable cryptocurrency to facilitate financial interactions with the rest of the world. Filecoin’s association with storage mining tags makes it attractive for the Chinese community.
