The DeXe Protocol token has performed well this year as market participants anticipate major developments in the ecosystem and as its staking volume increases.
DeXe (DEXE) price climbed to a high of $19.75 this week, up by 155% from its lowest level this year, making it one of the best-performing coins.
The token’s rally occurred alongside a steady rise in the amount of money staked on its protocol. The one-month staking tier now holds 11.3 million DEXE tokens, valued at over $214 million. These holders will receive a 10% yield.
The three-month tier holds 2.82 million DEXE tokens with an APR of 14.20%, while the six-month tier contains 690,000 tokens. The 12-month and 24-month tiers have attracted 500,000 and 40,000 tokens, offering returns of 20% and 127%, respectively.
DeXe’s price also surged after developers unveiled their roadmap for the year. Key planned events include the release of the DeXe Protocol on Ethereum (ETH), locking the DAO Treasury in the DeXe protocol, and launching staking for DeXe DAO.
The token’s rally was further supported by a steady increase in the number of token holders. According to CoinCarp, the number of DEXE holders rose to 2,521 on January 21, up from 2,450 a month earlier. Some of these investors likely bought in due to fear of missing out and the recent addition of the futures copy trading service by Binance.
