second place:
first place:
third place:
SEELE fell by 91.94%
second place:
ONT fell by 18.28%
EOS fell by 3.09%
These three are old-fashioned projects, and all of them were once smash hits. SEELE went public on May 28, 2018. ONT went public on March 18, 2018. EOS was listed on July 13, 2017.
If the trend of SEELE and EOS is still ups and downs, ONT has plummeted all the way after its listing, which can be described as a perfect trend model for cutting leeks.
EOS can have such a performance today, which makes many people sigh. People once placed high hopes on it, and it was hailed as the representative of blockchain 3.0, but now people can't see any hope.
