A Solana-based platform letting people trade virtual real estate, Parcl (PARCL), has seen its token price swing wildly after Coinbase added it to its exchange.
The Coinbase Effect
Coinbase announced it would list Parcl on December 15th. This news sent the PARCL token price soaring, jumping 50% from around $0.33 to a peak of $0.586 on December 17th. The excitement was short-lived, however.
A Quick Dip
Just two days later, the price plummeted to $0.408. At the time of writing, it’s trading at $0.418, down about 9% in the last 24 hours. This rollercoaster ride highlights the volatility often seen in the cryptocurrency market.
What is Parcl?
Parcl uses synthetic assets – digital tokens representing real-world assets – to let users invest in virtual real estate. Think of it as a way to bet on the value of property in major cities like New York, Miami, and Dubai without actually owning any buildings. Users buy tokens representing stakes in these city indexes.
