Happy to share. It used to seem a mystery to me that the price of MAID has been struggling. But, upon closer inspection it became clear that the market fundamentals just don’t support price appreciation due to the lack of liquidity and broad exchange access.
This is really hard to say. On average, Decentralized Storage / Internet & dApp Platform projects in the top 200 are listed on 37 exchanges with 68 trading pairs. If we look at the four projects with the least amount of exchanges, we see that:
- Blockstack (12 exchanges w/ 19 trading pairs) is ranked 66 w/ a market cap of ~$1.4B & ~$25M in trading volume
- Arweave (13 exchanges w/ 16 trading pairs) is ranked 93 w/ a market cap of ~$730M & ~$18M in trading volume
- Maidsafe (2 exchanges w/ 4 trading pairs) is ranked 141 w/ a market cap of ~$290M & ~$1.5M in trading volume
- RSK (8 exchanges w/ 8 trading pairs) is ranked 163 w/ a market cap of ~$235M & ~$4M in trading volume
Based on the above, I think the roof without solving the liquidity/exchange listing challenge is probably top 70 if lucky, but probably more realistically at barely cracking the top 100 again in a sustained way.
