Giant Animoca Brands Announces Investment in an Altcoin: Incredible Surge in Price Follows

In a recent announcement, Animoca Brands announced its intention to purchase additional PROS tokens from the open market.

Prosper’s utility token, PROS, is designed to bring institutional-grade Bitcoin mining power on-chain. The token offers exposure to the Bitcoin hashrate as well as the broader Bitcoin ecosystem. PROS’ current circulating market cap is $10 million, but the altcoin’s price has surged 76% following the investment news.
