Elrond (EGLD) Token Price More Than Doubled in a Week

EGLD token has been launched by Romanian blockchain startup Elrond. The token price has more than doubled since the company launched a new app called Maiar.

The app lets users buy and transfer cryptocurrencies using just the recipient’s phone number. In just one week, the app had over 100,000 users. The company is also preparing to include new features that would let users send money from the app to their bank accounts as well as through a card. In this way, the app will work like that of a traditional fintech app.

Elrond cryptocurrency has been on a bullish momentum. However, the trading volume has also been on a downtrend over the past few weeks. There seems to be a hesitation between a strong price movement and a corresponding lack of conviction in the market. Although there is not a signal of retracement yet, it symbolizes a warning signal to new investors.
