Synthetix Network Token (SNX) Is Being Accumulated En-Masse: Blockchain Data

According to Matt Casto, a crypto-asset analyst working for CMT Digital, there are clear signs that SNX is being accumulated en-masse. He shared on the data he compiled:

“September had the two largest daily quantites of SNX bought on DEXs (9/5 and 9/6) so far this year and was the month with the most SNX acquired. Large holders have been accumulating since July, and large buys posted last month with lower trader counts. Disclosure: I am long SNX.”

Reasons to Be Excited

SNX holders have reason to be excited.

Over recent weeks, Synthetix has been rolling out a test layer-two scaling solution in collaboration with Optimism.

Optimism is an Ethereum-focused developer group working primarily on a network called Optimistic Ethereum. The network is a second-layer chain that uses a technology called Optimistic Rollups to decrease the cost of transactions while also increasing throughput.

The solution rolled out right now is only a test/beta for retail users that hold one to 2,500 SNX tokens. However, soon, Synthetix is expected to have much of its operations on this scaling solution.

Kain Warwick, the founder of Synthetix, recently commented on Optimistic Ethereum’s prospects:

“Optimistic Ethereum will be the DeFi chain over the next 12-24 months. Nothing is even close. Mainnet is coming and it’s going to melt your fucking faces.
@clembalestrat should have a sneak peak for you all very soon…”

Adding to SNX’s bull trend, there has been an uptick in active addresses as per Santiment:

“SNX has rebounded nicely over the past week (+19.4%). Network activity, such as on-chain circulation and active addresses, indicated a bullish divergence when it dropped to $3.55. Both metrics sustained high levels to allow price to jump back above $5.00.”

Santiment is a blockchain analytics firm that closely tracks top altcoins.
