BitTorrent surged over 87% on the day as a result of various trading competitions that involved BTT token. What’s next for BitTorrent, and should you consider buying some BTT now?

Fundamental analysis: Binance and Hubi trading competitions push BTT up

BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer file-sharing and torrent platform that dates back to July 2001 when it was first launched. The platform was then purchased by the TRON blockchain platform in July 2018. Ever since its acquisition, BitTorrent managed to improve and add various new tools. Its native cryptocurrency, BTT, launched in February 2019 on the TRON network.

BTT’s sudden price increase is most likely caused by multiple trading contests that included BitTorrent, including the ones hosted by Huobi and Binance.
