The blog post further stated that Floki is looking forward to continuing building on the BNB Chain and making strategic partnerships to benefit FLOKI holders by enhancing the token’s utility and allowing its users to access liquidity without having to sell their tokens. The token, which started out as a meme coin, has evolved into a full-fledged Web3 venture with a considerable presence in the DeFi space.
The growing popularity of FLOKI has helped it secure the top spot on Binance’s list of trending cryptocurrencies. News of the announcement sent FLOKI soaring nearly 3% earlier today. The price has since fallen considerably. On the other hand, Venus Protocol’s native token, XVS, has plummeted by more than 3%.
