The bullish sentiment returns as NFT volumes explode

[Bitcoin.com Exchange]( Dear Trader, August has been the best month for NFTs in history, with the volume on opensea, the most prominent NFT marketplace, surpassing $3 billion and with 1.6 million users making at least one transaction. But, directly buying jpegs and gifs is just one way to invest in the digital token space. Another way to ride the wave is, investing in token companies that provide infrastructure and platforms for NFTs such as [Rarible]( (RARI) or [SuperBid](. This app combines the idea of social auctions and influencer-generated NFTs. The boom might have helped bring back bullish sentiment, as it helps bring new awareness to the space. Bitcoin is back trading close to $50,000, Ether has breached $3,500, and Cardano has made its way to the top 3 currency by market cap. The rise of Cardano is potentially fuelled by investors’ hopes that smart contracts will finally come to fruition in the middle of September. At least, the bets on Polymarkets agree that by 1st October, the peer-reviewed blockchain will get working smart contracts. For traders looking to invest in more niche assets, we listed 2 on our exchange this week, one of them an alleged “Ethereum-killer (IOST) while the other one makes the creation of digital assets easy (Ravencoin).

The native currency RVN is now trading with the [BTC]( pair. [IOST Listing]( IOST is a blockchain protocol based on Proof-of-Believability that makes it highly scalable, efficient while remaining decentralized.
