InvestorPlace – Stock market news, stock advice and trading tips
One of the high-flying cryptos dominating the discussion among crypto investors today is Optimism (OP USD). Up about 10% at the time of writing, interest in Optimism price predictions is understandably high today.
This increase in the value of OP comes amid some pretty impressive news Coin base (NASDAQ:COIN). This top cryptocurrency exchange has announced its own layer-2 blockchain today. It’s the kind of big news many crypto investors have been hoping for.
It is unclear how much use “Base” will be. But given Coinbase’s significant market share, this is something many investors seem to think could be a big deal. At a time when catalysts are finally pricing positively into cryptos, it is also interesting to see the positive price movement this announcement is causing today.
The increase in optimism comes as this scaling technology is expected to be used to build out Coinbase’s new infrastructure. Optimism, aptly named, uses optimistic proofs, or roll-ups, to scale transactions on various blockchains. While best known for being associated with Ethereum (ETH-USD)-based projects, this is yet another high-profile application area for the technology. Consequently, there is good reason for investors to grow positive on this project.
With that said, let’s dive into where the experts think OP could be headed from here.
