Download the App → While the average DeFi coin is down massively since the summer highs, there have been projects launching that have caught the attention of many crypto investors, resulting in millions of dollars worth of capital raised. Two such coins are Keep3r Network’s KPR and KORE. The former is a coin launched by the founder of Yearn.finance and YFI Andre Cronje. As reported by CryptoSlate, this new token is the currency of a blockchain-based job network. It rallied over 15,000 percent in the day after it launched to the public. The latter, KORE, is a “money game” that surged 4,000 percent in the day after its launch. The coin traded at a $40 million market capitalization a day after it went live and then proceeded to move even higher. Both coins have launched in the past five weeks and have seen tremendous success as aforementioned, even in the face of a weak Ethereum price and brutal DeFi correction. Unsurprisingly, they have been forked by opportunist Ethereum developers looking to make a profit in a mini bear market. Unfortunately, many of these forks have turned out to be scams or at least money grabs with no legitimate product or innovation. 📈 Trending … DeFi Tokens • Oracle Tokens • Biggest Gainers • Stablecoins More news ⏬Australian central bank mentions “Ethereum” as digital currency push continuesWith all institutional attention on Bitcoin as of late, Ethereum has received little love from the corporations and governments of the world.
