Blockchain-based game and DeFi protocol Aavegotchi (GHST) nabbed significant investor attention on Monday as its price rocketed nearly 37%. Notably, with the crypto exchange behemoth Binance extending support to the token, market sentiments for the Web3 gaming and Defi protocol have turned highly bullish. Recently, the exchange announced the launch of futures listing for GHST, following which the token’s price surged remarkably.
Binance Launches Aavegotchi (GHST) USD-Margined Perpetual Contract
On September 23, Binance officially announced the launch of the Aavegotchi (GHST) USD-Margined perpetual contract (GHSTUSDT) in a release. As per the announcement, the perpetual contract will go live today at 13 UTC. Users on the platform can enjoy up to 75x leverage trading the coin. Meanwhile, the underlying asset for the contract remains Aavegotchi.
The capped funding rate set by the exchange was at +2.00% / -2.00%. However, the exchange also clarified that the contract remains subject to changes based on market risk conditions. Users may see changes in the funding fee, tick size, maximum leverage, initial margin, and maintenance margin ahead. Nevertheless, the announcement has set off waves for the gaming and Defi protocol as its price soared roughly 37% in light of the Binance listing.
Aavegotchi boasts itself as a project that has adorable ghosts on the Ethereum blockchain, each with a unique set of traits. The ghosts also contain crypto tokens, represented by collateral symbols on their heads.
Token Price Shoots Up 37%
Simultaneously, GHST price surged approximately 37% in the past 24 hours to reach $1.201. The coin’s intraday low and high were recorded as $0.8713 and $1.21, respectively.
