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.
