Is DeFi Token Boom Ahead?

Meanwhile, AltSeason has also been delayed as there are no significant altcoin price gains. The heavy whale investment in DeFi tokens hints at the possibility of a DeFi token boom in the coming weeks.

Spot On Chain whale accumulation finding is opening doors to new speculations regarding DeFi tokens. Among the aforementioned three tokens, the AUCTION token price recorded a considerable surge of 25% in the last 24 hours. The other two top DeFi tokens, UNI and MKR, didn’t witness any considerable price surge in the last 24 hours.

The DeFi token market cap is down 1.05%, whereas trading volume increased by 35%. However, the overall market sentiment is negative, and the crypto fear and greed index records 22. The DeFi token boom is only possible once the overall crypto market recovers with positive market sentiment.
