Chiliz Price Analysis
CHZ was established in August 2019 and, within a few days, soared its value to the $0.0150 mark. Since then, crypto has seen a positive performance.
The coin gained significant traction in the market in 2021 because of its unique offering and multiple partnerships.
Last year, Chiliz slid its price, partly triggered by the crypto bear market, catalyzed by the crash of the Terra ecosystem, Three Arrows Capital, and crypto exchange FTX. These collapses left the crypto industry struggling and the token consistently trading below the $0.10 level.
Since this year, Chiliz has surged its value. The token is trading at $0.156901, up 0.83% in the last 24 hours, with a trading volume of $669 million. With a market cap of $1 billion, CHZ is currently ranked #53 among cryptocurrencies listed on Coinmarketcap.
