On Thursday, Feb. 16, Xu tweeted about the OKX’s plans to unveil the OKBChain, a new blockchain network aimed at expanding the OKB decentralized ecosystem.  According to more data by CoinMarketCap, OKB is currently trading at $54.15, having gone up by 9.27% in the last 24 hours.

Furthermore, the OKBChain will be developed and managed solely by the OKX company, which is contrast to the OKXChain, that is a 100% community driven project.  According to Xu, more details regarding the network’s infrastructure and its consensus algorithm should be expected in the coming weeks as OKX plans to launch the project before the end of Q1, 2023. The OKX exchange is rated as one of the world’s biggest exchanges, with over 50 million users worldwide. Clearly, the launch of its new blockchain will drive much excitement within the crypto verse, which could translate into higher adoption of the OKB token. Based on price predictions by top crypto forecast site, Coincodex, OKB is expected to maintain its current price gain for now, hitting a new price level of $61.05 in the next five days. However, they anticipate the altcoin to return to its current price level in the next 30 days trading around $54.48.  For long term investment, PricePrediction.net predicts OKB to be profitable. Based on their price projections for 2023, the OKX native token is expected to attain a peak price of $82.06 before the year ends. However, it goes without saying that these are merely speculations with no guarantee. All investors are reminded to conduct their personal research before any investment decision.  -Featured Image: GetBlock.net, Chart from TradingView
