The launch of a blockchain-agnostic Metaverse, establishment of a new partnership with token bridge Allbridge and the project’s migration to Ver 2.0 have all played significant roles in Waves’ rise last week.
Waves was also added by Binance as a collateral asset by Binance, the largest spot exchange by volume last week.
Amid the ongoing Russia-Ukraine crisis, the project’s founder Sasha Ivanov reminded his Twitter followers that he was from Zaporozhye, Ukraine.
