DeFi Token Soars 12% As Market Turmoil Spurs Decentralized Stablecoin Demand

Curve CRV/USD soared 12% in the last 24 hours, following news that the Securities and Exchange Commission plans to sue Paxos Trust Co. for issuing Binance USD BUSD/USD.

What Happened: At the time of writing, Curve was trading at $1.04. 

The rally in CRV’s price can be attributed to the BUSD saga, and the demand for decentralized stablecoins increased.

Though Curve doesn't have a native stablecoin yet, there is much anticipation surrounding their soon-to-be-released curve USD (crvUSD) token.

"It should be noted that CRV reached $1 billion in daily volume.
