Altcoin of the Week

Our Altcoin of the week is Elrond (ERD). This little-known cryptocurrency project promises to significantly increase the transaction speed on the blockchain and resolve scalability issues by combining all three sharding types: State, Transactions & Network in a new process called “Adaptive State Sharding”.

ERD added 117 percent to its value for the last seven days and its 164 percent up for the two-week period. It peaked at $0.0134 on Sunday, July 12 and is currently ranked at #56 on CoinGecko’s Top 100 list with a market capitalization of approximately $178 million.

The recent surge is most probably caused by the upcoming Mainnet launch which is scheduled to happen in 17 days.

As of the time of writing ERD is trading at 0.0136 against USDT on the Binance platform.
