Trading volume in Bio Protocol crypto rose 720% after a week of significant announcements.

Summary
  • Bio Protocol crypto is up 25% daily, reaching $211 million in market cap
  • The protocol recently unveiled funding for clinical trials on humans for a brain health supplement
  • BIO staked tokens rose to 122M, representing 3.5% of its circulating supply

Despite a broader market downturn, some altcoins are gathering momentum. One of them is Bio Protocol (BIO), which reached a daily high of $0.1514 before stabilizing at $0.1301. Even after the correction, the token is up 25% on a daily basis. The surge brought the token’s market cap to $217.58 million.

Accompanying the token’s strong performance was a 720.24% increase in daily volume, which reached $443.47 million. What is likely driving increased trading interest is a series of updates that helped boost the token’s scarcity and utility.

For one, one of the protocols on BIO’s platform, Cerebrum DAO, approved its first funding for a human clinical trial. Its community voted in favor of the protocol to raise $80,000 to expand the trials for a brain health supplement, Percepta, focusing on memory loss and neurodegeneration.

Bio Protocol will provide the funding. In exchange, it will get a share of CLAW tokens, which are tied to royalties from the Percepta brain supplement. This means that Bio Protocol crypto is tied to the commercial success of this drug.

On the tokenomics side, there has been a significant increase in the amount of staked Bio Protocol crypto. Staked BIO tokens rose to 125 million, representing 3.5% of its circulating supply. Staked tokens generate BioXP, giving users access to new assets in the Bio ecosystem.

Launched in December 2024, Bio Protocol crypto hopes to power the funding layer of the biotech industry. Biotech is a risky venture, but one that offers potentially high returns that pairs well with crypto.

UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach

The post UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The UK and US are reportedly preparing to deepen cooperation on digital assets, with Britain looking to copy the Trump administration’s crypto-friendly stance in a bid to boost innovation.  UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent discussed on Tuesday how the two nations could strengthen their coordination on crypto, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.  The discussions also involved representatives from crypto companies, including Coinbase, Circle Internet Group and Ripple, with executives from the Bank of America, Barclays and Citi also attending, according to the report.

The Financial Times reported on Monday that UK crypto advocacy groups also slammed the Bank of England’s proposal to limit individual stablecoin holdings to between 10,000 British pounds ($13,650) and 20,000 pounds ($27,300), claiming it would be difficult and expensive to implement. UK banks appear to have slowed adoption too, with around 40% of 2,000 recently surveyed crypto investors saying that their banks had either blocked or delayed a payment to a crypto provider.  Many of these actions have been linked to concerns over volatility, fraud and scams. The UK has made some progress on crypto regulation recently, proposing a framework in May that would see crypto exchanges, dealers, and agents treated similarly to traditional finance firms, with…
