DeFi Token Soars 12% As Market Turmoil Spurs Decentralized Stablecoin Demand

Curve (CRYPTO: CRV) soared 12% in the last 24 hours, following news that the Securities and Exchange Commission plans to sue Paxos Trust Co. for issuing Binance USD (CRYPTO: BUSD).

What Happened: At the time of writing, Curve was trading at $1.04. 

The rally in CRV’s price can be attributed to the BUSD saga, and the demand for decentralized stablecoins increased.
