Bybit merchants at the moment worth the token at $0.724 apiece, whereas these on OKX see its worth barely decrease at $0.6974.

Like fellow outstanding Telegram recreation Hamster Kombat, Catizen may also debut its token with a Launchpool rewards marketing campaign by way of main change Binance. Out of a complete provide of 1 billion CATI tokens, 90 million CATI can be supplied as much as Binance prospects who stake Binance Coin (BNB) or the FDUSD stablecoin from September 16-19.

Based on the Binance web page, the CATI token’s preliminary circulating provide can be 305 million, which implies that simply over 30% of the tokens will initially be unlocked. This seems to incorporate the airdrop allocation, although Pluto Studio beforehand indicated that 43% of the entire token provide could be supplied to gamers by way of the airdrop.

That is the beginning of a busy month for The Open Community (TON) as a number of Telegram video games plan to launch their tokens. The most important, Hamster Kombat—which has a reported participant base of over 300 million customers—will launch HMSTR on September 26, although different video games are plotting their very own token drops across the similar time interval.

This flood of hundreds of thousands of potential new customers has resulted in TON builders warning of potential technical blips forward, following two durations of downtime in late September that had been attributed to airdrop and buying and selling demand.
