Curve DAO (CRV) Surges 15% Amid Community Burn Proposal

Curve DAO token, CRV has jumped 15% today amid a 10% burn proposal after a sharp price drop this week. Positive day trading has seen the asset outpace the wider market which trades sideways as bulls attempt a rebound. CRV holders will now vote on a burn proposal to stabilize the token. 

Curve DAO Spikes 15%

The native token of Curve DAO is up 15.3% in the last 24 hours as bulls ignite to recover lost gains. Despite these daily gains, the asset is down 19% this week after huge losses on June 13. Monthly figures are also in the red zone plunging to 22%. Although CRV’s decline was more pronounced, the wider saw losses this week with some altcoins recording double-digit setbacks. 

Curve Dao’s market capitalization is slightly over $406 million after recent gains while daily fading volumes are over $200 million, an 8% drop in the market. As bulls attempt to gain lost ground, some within the community tip a run on the back of the burn vote. At press time CRV trades at $0.32 with sights on new gains. 

This week, the asset’s 34% price drop liquidated the founder’s positions as millions were wiped out. Michael Egorov lost positions on crypto lenders plunging into $20 million debt on four platforms. Similarly, a user’s $3.3 million worth of CRV got liquidated afterward. As a result, the proposal to burn 10% of the total supply is for control and to preserve market stability. 

The Curve Finance team and I have been working to solve the liquidation risk issue which happened today.

Many of you are aware that I had all my loans liquidated. Size of my positions was too large for markets to handle and caused 10M of bad debt. Only CRV market on…
