Share this article

Listing of crypto assets on known exchanges has been known to help initiate a price rally. In the case of Avalanche’s AVAX and Stellar’s XLM, following 8 August’s Robinhood’s listing announcement, the rally was, however, short-lived.

On 8 August, leading cryptocurrency exchange Robinhood informed users of the listing of AVAX and XLM as tradeable cryptocurrency assets on its platform.

Following the announcement, the price of AVAX immediately rallied by 7%, causing the token to exchange hands at $30.43. Likewise, XLM also registered an 8% uptick in its price as it traded at $0.137 following Robinhood’s announcement.

However, momentum seemed to have dropped as the bears initiated a price retracement for both tokens. As of this writing, AVAX traded at $28.68, shedding 5% of the intraday trading gains.

XLM exchanged hands at $0.1285 after dropping by 6% from its yesterday (9 August) intraday trading high.
