Why SKL crypto is rising

Since Skale Network is based on the energy-efficient proof-of-stake model, it appeals more to environmentally conscious investors than competitors. Also, SKL has benefited from the rush to find the next Bitcoin. Recently, Bitcoin's lifetime returns shot up as high as 80,000,000 percent. The surge in Skale token can also be linked to investors pursuing bargain opportunities following the recent crypto crash after Tesla’s about-face on Bitcoin payments.

Is Skale coin expected to go up in 2021?

There's a high chance that SKL's price could move higher. The NFTs that have helped fuel the token’s rise will become popular with more companies, including GameStop and eBay, getting involved.

Skale should benefit from the Ethereum blockchain upgrade that promises to lower transaction costs, speed up processes, and bring greater scale. Also, the upgrade will significantly cut Ethereum’s electricity consumption, which would make it a greener technology. Many big investors are taking environmental impact into consideration when choosing investments. Therefore, SKL could see more interest from institutional investors.
