🚀 After the announcement of decentralized trading’s arrival with the release of new Minter 2, BIP skyrocketed +200%, making it to the list of top gainers on CoinMarketCap.
In an upgraded blockchain, BIP will be used as a primary token when paying fees for exchanging leading cryptocurrencies (BTC, ETH, UNI, LINK, and many more) via pools, with the block time of up to 5 seconds and millions of transactions processed daily. Given the unpredictable nature of growth in Ethereum trading fees, Minter stands out by offering the constant fee of $0.03 and 0.2% charged by the pool per each trade.
Those willing to purchase BIP can do it, for example, at Bithumb Global.
