UPbit improves MOCA’s trading ability
The trader’s investment in the Moca coin was possibly influenced by Upbit’s move to list the crypto. Historically, token listing triggers price increases of newly listed assets. The whale timed its purchase well, allowing him to take advantage of the asset price jump. Following Upbit’s announcement, MOCA witnessed a remarkable surge of trading activity and its value skyrocketed immensely, enabling the investor to make an unrealized profit of $2.55 million.
The unrealized gains show what strategic investment can do in the digital asset market. The trader leveraged the market momentum to his advantage by purchasing the MOCA tokens in bulk. While MOCA’s price fluctuates swiftly amid extreme volatility associated with crypto, the trader expects the coin to see price appreciation after the listing.
So far, there have not been reports about big investors trading and profiting from MOCA. However, today’s trading activity by the whale brought massive limelight to the Moca coin and its potentiality.
