While whale activity has supported XCN in recent weeks, the latest breakout has been fueled by key network developments.
On July 12, the team announced that the highly anticipated improvement proposal for Onyx Points had passed. The OIP-60 proposal will activate points rewards for XCN stakers on the Ethereum network and deploy the protocol’s gas-free wallet. Execution was queued and scheduled to go live within approximately 48 hours.
As the token breaks out of a six-month falling wedge pattern, bullish bets have pushed open interest to $21 million. The 16% jump in OI also coincides with a surge in derivatives volume. According to Coinglass , the broader crypto market rally has triggered a 155% spike in this metric.
Interest in Onyxcoin has intensified in recent weeks due to exchange listing and overall market sentiment .
XCN gained momentum following its listing on the top decentralized exchange PancakeSwap and has also benefitted from previous integrations with Coinbase Wallet, Base, and BNB Chain. However, prices have historically seen sharp pullbacks during broader market downturns.
