This week, BTC has been greatly affected by overseas factors, and there are signs of stabilization at the bottom. As platform coins with attributes similar to "brokerage stocks", both HT and BNB have shown their prices. In particular, HT was the first to pull back when BTC bottomed out last week, and performed well. .

The price of the platform currency has stabilized, and we can continue to pay attention
In the past week, both the three major platform coins and some long-tail platform coins have shown signs of strengthening, especially HT was the first to pull back when BTC bottomed out last week. Most of the platform coins have properties similar to those of brokerage stocks, and the account opening volume and trading volume are mapped to their prices. When the market is improving, it will first give positive feedback. However, the policy risk of platform currency cannot be ignored, and continuous attention should be paid to it.
Still need to be cautious in the layout of overseas markets
Although the enthusiasm of the Japanese people for cryptocurrencies has not diminished, due to the influence of Japanese regulation, most exchanges are in a state of loss. In some countries, although the user base is large, the transaction enthusiasm is not high, and the value of each customer is far lower than expected. Therefore, it is recommended to do a good job of research when the exchange deploys overseas markets, and it is best to have relevant local partners.
