Moreover, data provided by Santiment shows that Blur’s social volume witnessed an 80% surge. 

It’s important to note that, per Santiment, the BLUR price-daily active addresses (DAA) convergence is currently at 24%. In simple terms, when the price DAA divergence indicator stays positive, the model triggers a “buy” signal.

The bullish expectations surface while the total open interest (OI) in BLUR reaches $295 million. However, the platform does not separately indicate the amounts of short and long positions. 

NFT sales surge

The BLUR token price surge comes as the NFT ecosystem gained a 45% momentum over the past day. The total NFT sales volume surpassed the $18 million mark, according to data provided by DappRadar.

Per the data aggregator, most of the NFT sales, $10.65 million, come from the Blur marketplace, while its competitor, OpenSea, only saw a $2.83 million trading volume over the past day. 

The number of sales on Blur has reached around 7,530 unique trades, with a total number of about 4,470 traders, according to DappRadar.

Source: Oka/Adobe Japan is inching closer to reforming its strict crypto tax laws for corporations – in a bid to stop an “exodus” of crypto talent and capital from flowing overseas. Pressure to reform has mounted in recent years, with industry figures and opposition leaders alike all calling for change.
