Orbs (ORBS), an Ethereum challenger, is on a parabolic run, with its price up by more than 60% in what can be classified as one of its biggest trading days in months. The coin is changing hands at a price of $0.05746 but with a 289%\u00a0jump<\/a> in its trading volume with over $648 million traded overnight.<\/p>\n The hype around ORBS is centered on the prospects behind the coin’s listing on the OKX trading platform. Huobi made the\u00a0announcement<\/a> on its X handle, noting that the perpetual swap feature for the ORBS\/USDT pair is now live.\u00a0<\/p>\n The exchange announced that users can now gain access to 20X leverage, with additional ORBS-focused products, including margin trading and savings, also billed for a later launch. ORBS is one of the hardest-hit tokens in the past crypto winter. The coin is still down by over 84% from its all-time high (ATH) attained about three years ago.<\/p>\n The current upshot is a testament to the\u00a0optimism within its ecosystem<\/a> and the desire to help chart a revival in usage and, in the long run, in the trading price of the ORB.<\/p>\n While the most important hype in the market revolves around Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), XRP and Cardano (ADA), to mention a few, many low-cap and mid-cap altcoins are also charting revolutionary trends within their own ecosystem.<\/p>\n While Orbs is aiming at driving scalability and usability to rival Ethereum, projects like Bad Idea AI (BAD) are redefining AI-based capabilities within the Shibarium Layer-2 protocol. Other altcoins like Fantom (FTM),\u00a0Chainlink<\/a> (LINK) and Optimism (OP) are also arguably helping to drive the overall goal of broadening the acceptability of the broader digital currency and blockchain ecosystems.<\/p>\nMid-cap tokens pulling their weight<\/h2>\n
