One of these great performers is the TWT.

Trust Wallet Token (TWT) has rallied up to 90% over the last ten days, and there might be a reason.

Trust Wallet Token (TWT) Price Analysis

At the time of writing, TWT is trading at $2.27 and is up by over 4% over the last day, according to data from CoinMarketCap. In the previous seven days, the cryptocurrency is also up about 90%, making it one of the best-performing cryptocurrencies on the market.

On 15 November, a day after hitting a record high of nearly $2.75, TWT’s price rose to an intraday high of $2.43. The token was trading at $0.40 at its lowest point in 2022, making it one of the year’s best-performing assets. The cryptocurrency has gained approximately 225% over the last year.

Why Is the Price of TWT Rising?

Following the crash of FTX in November and the rush of traders and investors withdrawing their money from exchanges, TWT gained positive momentum.

As illustrated above and according to on-chain statistics from the cryptocurrency analytics platform Glassnode, investors have been forced to withdraw Bitcoin (BTC) from exchanges at a record rate of 106 thousand BTC per month.

This has been happening due to the FTX crash and has not slowed down since. As a result, the price of TWT, the native cryptocurrency of a self-custody platform, has been rising.

The whales are also acquiring a taste for TWT, as Santiment notes. The on-chain analytics platform reports that as the altcoins continued to climb, the supply rate of TWT owned by addresses with a balance of between 1,000 and 10 million TWT  (whales and sharks) increased exponentially.

The long-term price performance of TWT will also be enjoyable to keep an eye out for, given that most exchanges (including Binance) are now posting evidence of their reserves after the FTX saga.

What these exchanges are doing is intended to provide traders the confidence to leave their assets on the exchanges.

It’s also noteworthy that the increase in TWT may have occurred due to Changpeng Zhao, CEO of Binance, endorsing and emphasizing the value of self-custody wallets in the wake of the FTX scandal.
