Arthur Hayes took to Twitter to reveal his recent purchase, saying “My vision is a bit $BLUR-y, it’s hard to see those trees sometimes.” In another tweet earlier he said, “$BLUR it’s cold in here, there must be some Degens in the atmosphere!”

BLUR Token Price Risks Falling
BLUR token price is currently trading at $1.12, up nearly 50% in the last 24 hours. The 24-hour low and high are $0.7358 and $1.19, respectively. However, the trading volume has increased by just 10% in the last 24 hours, indicating quite a low in interest. A low trading volume and profit-taking risks BLUR price to fall suddenly.
South Korea’s largest crypto exchanges Upbit and Bithumb today listed the BLUR token. Binance is the only mainstream exchange that has not yet listed BLUR.
