The effect of the announcement was effective despite the sales
Cryptocurrency market started the new week with new lows. Meanwhile, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and BNB Chain have been losing over 10% since last week. Solana dropped more than 20% in the same period as it dropped to almost $30. The price movements of the last 24 hours are also in the red around 1%. However, the situation is not the same for AURORA. The altcoin, which is among the top 300 by market cap, has gained over 15% in the last 24 hours. The ensuing sell-off left a stretching red candlestick on the AURORA chart.
Trying to evaluate the Coinbase announcement at MXC. It gained over 5% at one point after the announcement. However, just like AURORA, it could not escape market-wide sales. The Coinbase announcement is of particular importance, as the MXC token is among the top 150 by market cap.

MXC (MXC)
Meta X Connect (MXC) is the first IoT and Blockchain industry firm to work with proof-of-participation consensus mechanisms.

MXC is an ERC-20 token used for device transactions via MXProtocol. The cross-chain of IoT tokens and data allows it to be published, sold, and traded in an NFT marketplace.
