Contender: Hashflow (HFT)

One such token is decentralized exchange token Hashflow, HFT.

It is believed that being a newcomer to the market played a defining role in the price hike for APT.

HFT was launched on Binance Launchpad, which became the starting point for projects such as Polygon (MATIC), Sandbox (SAND) and STEPN (GMT), has raised several billion dollars in staking pools during its IEO. In addition, according to CryptoRank, both projects have about the same investors, such as DragonFly Capital and Jump Crypto.
