What is Pickle Finance? New Ethereum DeFi craze rallies 1,000% in one day
BTC $10,820 (+3.1%) • ETH $367 (+2.1%) • XRP $0.24 (+0.9%)
It appears that decentralized finance (DeFi) has not peaked despite a deluge of scammy projects and clear copy-cats of popular protocols.
Just recently, a new .finance project launched with the name of Pickle. Despite it being named after a food and having the logo of Pickle Rick from Rick and Morty, Pickle — or Pickle Finance — the coin has seen strong adoption within DeFi circles.
There are prominent crypto and Ethereum investors promoting the project, whose native coin, the aptly-named PICKLE, has rallied 1,000 percent in the span of 24 hours. This makes it likely the best-performing “legit” altcoin of the past day or two.
