Today, Loopring (CCC:LRC-USD) is in the spotlight after GameStop (NYSE:GME) announced it would be launching a marketplace for non-fungible tokens (NFTs) later this year. The video-game retailer also announced that it was close to signing agreements with two undisclosed crypto companies, bringing attention to Loopring price predictions. These partnerships will see the companies collaborate to design and invest in games that use blockchain and NFT technology. Crypto speculators believe one of these companies is Loopring. At the time of writing, LRC crypto is currently the 58th largest crypto based on its market capitalization of $2.27 billion.
Loopring is a blockchain-based project that works on top of Ethereum’s (CCC:ETH-USD) blockchain. Furthermore, Loopring utilizes ZkRollup (“zk” standing for “zero knowledge”), which allows it to process multiple private transactions as one. The zkRollup process increases transaction speeds and lowers costs. The Loopring team describes zkRollup as “the most secure scaling mechanism the industry knows of, whereby users can access their assets in all circumstances.”
Additionally, it was reported back in November that Loopring CEO Daniel Wang had moved 61.3 million of LRC crypto from layer 1 to layer 2. At the time, speculators believed the crypto was transacted to provide support and liquidity for the GameStop NFT marketplace. After the confirmation of a marketplace today, it seems like the move could possibly substantiate those suspicions.
With rumors of the potential partnership circulating, fans of the LRC crypto are wondering where it will head this year. Let’s dive right in.
