This week has proven to be good for the Compound (COMP) token prices. The token surged over 20% in the last 24 hours, making it among the best performing cryptocurrencies.
The COMP price jump is driven by multiple factors. Recently, Robinhood listed the Compound token with 3 other popular cryptocurrencies. Meanwhile, Santiment data suggests that whales were accumulating COMP even before the announcement.
Robinhood lists COMP
Compound’s Robinhood listing helped the token to clear its recent price dump. As per reports, COMP jumped by almost 29% after the listing announcement. The token is up by over 12% in the last 7 days.
Robinhood is a very well know cryptocurrency exchange platform. Last week, it launched its much awaited crypto wallet for 2 million users. This new addition can really guide COMP to rise in the future. The compound listing also included Polygon (MATIC), Solana (SOL), and the second largest meme crypto Shiba Inu (SHIB).
Compound’s total locked value (TLV) has increased by over 3% in the last 24 hours. The TVL stands at $6.45 billion. The COMP token is trading at an average price of $152, at press time. Its 24 hour trading volume is also up by 70%.
