The tradeable LRC token was up around 31% in Wednesday’s dealing.
Crypto token Loopring (LRC) was a top mover on Wednesday – rising 31% to a price of 42.4 cents on the Coinbase exchange – as its founder Daniel Wang is set to present at Coindesk’s Consensus virtual conference.
Loopring is an Ethereum-based token that describes itself as an “open-source, audited, and non-custodial exchange protocol”, though a 2020 Decrypt article perhaps gives the system that the token powers a more accessible moniker, calling it “a for Ethereum”.
Essentially, the tradeable Loopring token is used to power a decentralised payment exchange and an Ethereum scaling solution using Ethereum ‘layer 2’.
