$ATOM, the cryptocurrency that powers the Cosmos network of independent, parallel blockchains, is rallying on Friday in tandem with a broader lift in crypto market sentiment.
ATOM/USD was last nearing weekly highs and a retest of the $9.0 per token level, having gained close to 3.0% on the session, as crypto markets rally on hopes that BlackRock’s spot bitcoin ETF application will be approved.

The platform will also facilitate trade in recycled materials and encourage individuals and businesses to offset their carbon footprint.
