While China shows signs of becoming more accepting of cryptocurrency trade, Conflux (CFX) is also quickly becoming one the crypto assets projected to explode in price in 2023.
By June 1, 2023, Hong Kong is expected to make the buying, selling, and trading of cryptocurrencies legal for all of its citizens, according to reports. The revelation has sparked a rally in Chinese currency, and the so-called “China narrative” has gained momentum over the past few days.
This year, Conflux Network (CFX) has outperformed the market’s other leading cryptocurrencies. Tuesday’s data from coin market tracker Coingecko demonstrates that the coin’s price increased by an astonishing 547% over the previous week.
Conflux: The China-Backed Blockchain Project
Conflux Network is a public, permissionless, Layer-1 blockchain protocol that aims to provide high throughput, low transaction fees, and secure and dependable transactions. It seeks to solve the scalability restrictions of conventional blockchain networks by employing a novel Tree-Graph methodology that enables parallel transaction processing.
Conflux is the only public and regulatory-compliant blockchain in China. It utilizes a technique that combines proof-of-work and proof-of-stake.
Researchers from Tsinghua University, Peking University, and Shanghai Jiao Tong University, among others, developed the Conflux Network. Dr. Andrew Yao, recipient of the Turing Award, serves as the chief scientist of Conflux.
