Conflux (CFX) has had a positive run so far in 2023, placing itself amongst the best-performing altcoins in the first half of the year. However, the “Chinese Ethereum” has been trading in the red in the past few days. According to data from CoinGecko, CFX lost nearly 16% of its value in the past week.

This CFX price fall comes despite the acquisition made by DWF Labs in the past week. On Wednesday, June 28, the Conflux network announced that the multi-stage Web3 investment firm purchased $18 million worth of its token.

This latest investment is a follow-up to the initial $10 million purchase of CFX tokens in March. It is understood to be a demonstration of DWF Labs’ commitment to “supporting the growth of Conflux”.

In a tweet, the head of DWF labs, Andrei Grachev, emphasized how the network is an excellent technology and his firm’s willingness to increase its CFX holdings.

@Conflux_Network is a bright example how a great team, technology, BD, GR and PR should perform. We know each other since ages and I’m more than happy to increase our $CFX holdings and support the guys with everything.

Conflux has built a reputation as a cutting-edge technology thanks to its “Tree-Graph” consensus algorithm, which enables the blockchain to achieve a high transaction throughput (tps) of up to 6,000 transactions.

As inferred earlier, the Conflux ecosystem has been experiencing steady growth since the turn of the year. Recently, the blockchain disclosed a partnership with dappOS, which promises mutual benefits for both entities.

Conflux So Far In 2023 – Price Overview

The price of CFX has been on an upward trajectory for most of the year, recording an 825% increase in the past six months. This price rally is consistent with the expansion and increased adoption of the Conflux ecosystem.

During the peak of this rally, Conflux announced several strategic partnerships with some of China’s biggest companies. Notably, the tree-graph consensus algorithm Layer-1 network announced a partnership with China Telecom to develop a blockchain SIM (BSIM) card in February.

However, we’ve watched the token’s price trend downward from its height earlier in the year. Since reaching its yearly peak of $0.4613 on March 20, the CFX token has lost more than 55% of its value, trading as low as $0.176 in mid-June.

As of this writing, CFX changes hands at $0.204467, according to CoinGecko data. This represents a 1% increase in the last 24 hours. That said, the token’s price has declined in recent weeks, shedding more than 28% in the past month.

The Conflux token has a daily trading volume of $44.4 million, representing a 62.6% decline from the past day. A decrease in 24-hour trading volume signals a recent fall in market activity.

Opeyemi is a proficient writer and enthusiast in the exciting and unique cryptocurrency realm. While the digital asset industry was not his first choice, he has remained absolutely drawn since making a foray into the space over two years. Now, Opeyemi takes pride in creating unique pieces unraveling the complexities of blockchain technology and sharing insights on the latest trends in the world of cryptocurrencies.

Opeyemi savors his attraction to the crypto market, which explains why he spends the better parts of his day looking through different price charts. “Looking” is a rather simple way to describe analyzing and interpreting various price patterns and chart formations. However, it appears that is not Opeyemi’s favorite part - in fact, far from it.

Being able to connect what happens on a price chart to on-chain movements and blockchain activities is what keeps Opeyemi ticking. “This emphasizes the intricacies of blockchain technology and the cryptocurrency market,” he would say. Most importantly, Opeyemi thinks of any market insights as the gospel, while recognizing that he is only a messenger.

When he is not clicking away at his keyboard, Opeyemi is most definitely listening to music, playing games, reading a book, or scrolling through X. He likes to think he is not loyal to a particular genre of music, which can be true on many days. However, the fast-rising Afrobeats genre is a staple in Opeyemi’s Spotify Daily Mix.

Meanwhile, Opeyemi is a voracious reader who enjoys a wide category of books - ranging from science fiction, fantasy, and historical, to even romance. He believes that authors like George R. R. Martin and J. K.
Rowling are the greatest of all time when it comes to putting pen to paper. Opeyemi believes his reading of the Harry Potter series twice is proof of that.

Indeed, Opeyemi enjoys spending most of his time within the four walls of his home. However, he also sometimes finds solace in the company of his friends at a bar, a restaurant, or even on a stroll. In essence, Opeyemi’s ambivert (haha! been searching for an opportunity to use the word to describe myself) nature makes him a social chameleon who is able to quickly adapt to different settings.

Opeyemi recognizes the need to constantly develop oneself in order to stay afloat in a competitive and ever-evolving market like crypto. For this reason, he is always in learning mode, ready to pick up the slightest lesson from every situation. Opeyemi is efficient and likes to deliver all that is required of him in time - he believes that “whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well.” Hence, you will always find him striving to be better.

Ultimately, Opeyemi is a good writer and an even better person who is trying to shed light on an exciting world phenomenon - cryptocurrency. He goes to bed every day with a smile of satisfaction on his face, knowing that he has done his bit of the holy assignment - spreading the crypto gospel to the rest of the world.
