Filecoin (CCC:FIL) is rapidly gaining attention in the crypto markets, hitting an all-time high on Thursday morning and overtaking other leading names. It seems investors are betting that FIL can disrupt other top tokens like Bitcoin (CCC:BTC). So what should you know about Filecoin (FIL) price predictions now?
Essentially, Filecoin is an open-source cryptocurrency and decentralized storage system. Its founder has compared the Filecoin mission to making a decentralized version of Amazon Web Services. As CoinMarketCap puts it, Filecoin incentivizes users to storage as much data as possible by linking data storage with block rewards.
This guiding purpose is one of the reasons FIL has gained more than 400% since the start of March — it offers a potential for blockchain document storage that Bitcoin does not.
However, cryptocurrency experts cite other reasons for the rise, and for the emerging Filecoin (FIL) price predictions. The system is set to reduce output later in April, and has also linked up with Chainlink (CCC:LINK). Perhaps even more importantly, Grayscale Investments showed Filecoin some love on March 17, launching a FIL investment trust. The new Grayscale Filecoin Trust is only open to accredited investors, but it has racked up institutional support in its first few days on the market.
Lastly, some experts are pointing to China, where interest in Filecoin is high. Daniel Roberts wrote for Decrypt that Filecoin mining activity is booming, as is FIL trading on the Huobi exchange.
With all this in mind, what Filecoin (FIL) price predictions should you be aware of?
