Impact of the KuCoin Community Chain on the value of KuCoin Token (KCS)

With the launch of the KuCoin Community Chain (KCC), the exchange joins Binance and OKEx in a list of crypto exchanges that have launched their own blockchain.

With respect to value, Binance Coin (BNB) has had a meteoritic rise since the Binance Smart Chain went live in September of last year. When BSC was launched, BNB was trading at roughly $24. At the time of writing, Binance Coin is trading at $560 thus demonstrating a 2,233% increment in the value of BNB since the launch of the Binance Smart Chain.

Similarly, OKExChain Token (OKT) was launched earlier this year at a value of $52. At the time of writing, OKT is trading at $200 signifying a 284% increment in value in less than six months.

Therefore, it can be loosely concluded that the launch of KuCoin Community Chain will open the doors for KCS gaining in the crypto markets due to increased adoption on its native blockchain. KuCoin Token is currently trading at $13.28 and the launch of KCC could catapult the token to breaking its all-time high of $21.14 set in January of 2018.
