QI crypto was rallying by over 42% with a volume rally of over 670%, according to CoinMarketMap on 13 June at 8 AM (GMT +1). 

Why is QI crypto rallying? 

QI crypto was rallying on the back of the news of the QI crypto’s announcement that users can redeem their sAVAX along with the staking rewards after 15 days of the redemption period. For this, the BENQI will run on a 14-day cadence, and it will only stop after the unstaking request is initiated that the AVAX tokens can be withdrawn.

However, if a particular user doesn’t want to wait for that many days, they can exit their sAVAX for AVAX. Then, they can log on to the Platypus platform at minimal slippage for short swaps. However, the sAVAX: AVAX exchange rate with imbalances could cause issues for large trades.

QI crypto’s market performance? 

On Monday, QI crypto was trading at the US $0.018848 with a trading volume of US$14,28,55,787, according to CoinMarketCap. QI crypto was enjoying a live market cap of US$61,38,654 with 32,56,92,000 QI coins in circulation. 

How long will the rally last is to be seen, but its rally has been impressive considering the prevailing bearish market sentiments. The RSI indicates a huge uptick suggesting investors are on a buying spree and is already at 62.35 on Monday. 

But while the rally has been impressive, the market participants would do well to tread carefully in a volatile market and take investment decisions based on the market research and not on FOMO.
