Anchor Protocol (ANC), the Terra blockchain’s biggest DeFi platform, appears to be swimming against the market tide. Its ANC token has managed to surge by more than 13% amid the market crash.
The global cryptocurrency market has shrunk by over 6.5% in the last 24 hours. Total market capitalization stands at $1.68 trillion. The largest Crypto, Bitcoin (BTC) prices have decreased by almost 8% in the time.
ANC TVL increases by 2% in last 7 days
Anchor Protocol token has come out to be the top price gainer in the last 24 hours. ANC token is trading at an average price of $2.17, at the press time. Meanwhile, Anchor Protocol’s total locked value (TVL) has increased by 2% in the last 7 days. ANC’s 24 hour volume has skyrocketed by over 300% to $208 million.
ANC TVL stands at $16.97 Billion. However, Terra’s UST stablecoin is the major part of this value. For the first time, total deposits in the Anchor protocol breached the $14 billion mark. Anchor offers very low risk involved returns on UST token deposits.
Anchor offers the highest annual yield among any DeFi platform, at 18%. This makes it extremely attractive for returns in times of market duress. ANC benefits from any inflows to the platform, given that it is Anchor’s governance token.
