  • FTX exchange recently announced support for SPL withdrawal of wrapped BAT tokens. 
  • Analysts are bullish on BAT price, predicting a rally in the token.

Basic Attention Token rallied to a new all-time high amidst a bloodbath in the crypto market. With the new partnership announcements, BAT has increased in popularity among traders. 

Basic Attention Token price rallied amidst a crypto market meltdown

Basic Attention Token hit a new all-time high on November 26 after its overall crypto market capitalization dropped by over $265 billion. After the news of Omicron, a highly mutated variant of Covid-19, broke out, prices of cryptocurrencies in the top 30 plunged. 

BAT price rallied 30% to hit a new all-time high of $1.90 hours ago. Basic Attention Token’s market capitalization crossed $2.46 billion. The token had a relatively low positive correlation with Bitcoin, Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies in the top 30. The correlation continues to remain low, less than 0.25 based on data from cryptowatch. 

FTX exchange, one of the world’s largest crypto exchanges, recently extended support for wrapped BAT token withdrawals. Earlier in November, Brave New Token announced support for Solana on the browser and the wallet. 

Luke Mulks, VP Business Operations at Brave, said,

One thing we’ve been doing is clearing out the paths for people that want to wrap that (SPL withdrawals) into Solana. . .and also we’ve been working with a lot of the DEXs and Yield Aggregators in the Solana ecosystem to start talking about how we can integrate them.

New developments and news of partnership fueled a bullish sentiment among traders. @Murfski, a cryptocurrency analyst, has tracked BAT price for over two years. The analyst observed that the two-year consolidation is coming to a head, and BAT/BTC price trend is going according to plan.
