DraftCoin price prediction: is there any upside ahead?
What is DraftCoin?
DraftCoin (DFT) is an open-source, decentralised cryptocurrency that allows users to carry out private and transparent transactions. Made by BTCDraft, the coin is used as part of an online amusement program. BTCDraft was the first cryptocurrency that could be used on a gaming platform based on blockchain. DraftCoin is the native currency of the BTCDraft Crypto Gaming Website.
The blockchain’s algorithm is Scrypt. It works on proof-of-stake (PoS) to verify transactions and keep the blockchain secure.
The launch of the DFT coin
DraftCoin and BTCDraft were launched in 2014 by crypto enthusiasts who wanted to create a sustainable, ethical solution to scam initial coin offerings (ICOs) and disinterested developers, among others, according to the DraftCoin white paper. BTCDraft relies on users’ ability to earn and accumulate DraftCoin on the basis of their grasp of arcade and casino games.
BTCDraft was launched without ICOs. The whitepaper stated that out of a total of 20 million DFTs, 15 million have been mined. The remaining 5 million coins will be paid to clients staking DFT in their personal wallets.
DraftCoin market capitalisation
DraftCoin had a market capitalisation of $33,759, as of 17 January, and a circulating supply of 8.715 million DFTs.
The token’s market capitalisation was obtained by multiplying its volume of circulating supply and the current price, while the circulating supply indicates the number of assets in the market.
The token’s fully diluted market capitalisation stood at $72,479 on 17 January, ranking the coin at 2,614, according to CoinMarketCap.
What is driving the DraftCoin DFT price?
The price of DraftCoin is heavily driven by demand and supply. The dynamics are affected by real-world events, competition, regulation and more.
Because the DraftCoin market isn’t as big as the likes of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether or Solana, DFT holders with large volumes of the asset could influence the price via trading.
