The sudden and intense price action followed today's announcement of two separate partnerships.

DeFi Projects: All the projects involved fall into the decentralized finance (DeFi) category, which includes all the decentralized applications (DApps) that provide services not unlike those offered by traditional financial institutions, but in a decentralized — and often anonymous — fashion. DeFi DApps often allow users to lend money, earn a yield on their deposit, insure against risk or exchange between different assets.

SaltSwap allows its users to exchange between different tokens, earn by providing liquidity for trading or earn high interest on deposits. Similarly, Parthenon also allows its users to trade and earn interest on their deposits.

UBU Finance, lastly, allows for trading of numerous tokens, earning interest on deposits and investing in new projects.
