Today, Binance announced the listing of Holo (HOT) while Upbit listed the Basic Attention Token (BAT). Unsurprisingly, pumps followed in both cases.

As is generally the case anytime Binance announces a new listing, the price of the fairly obscure cryptocurrency has enjoyed a pump in price. At the time of writing this, Holo (HOT) is trading at $0.000931, marking a near 60 percent increase in just a few hours.
According to CoinMarketCap, the majority of HOT tokens are traded on the IDEX cryptocurrency exchange — which accounts for 55.55 percent of the total trading volume.
HOT’s traded volume has also skyrocketed — surging to the tune of an additional $7 million. It currently standing just upwards of $9 million. Whether or not the cryptocurrency will sustain these gains remains to be seen.
For those unfamiliar with the project, Holochain provides a means for creating and running decentralized applications (DApps). It’s a library which is written in the “Go” programming language, bringing command line tools to build apps with Lisp and JavaScript.
Not the Only One
Another cryptocurrency which has enjoyed a massive increase in its price today is Basic Attention Token (BAT).
Following its Upbit listing announcement, the price surged from $0.32 to $0.42 in less than 30 minutes.
Nevertheless, both cryptocurrencies have experienced corrections since their spikes, raising questions whether they’ll be able to sustain their increased valuations.
