The CLARITY Act, formally known as H.R. 3633, aims to provide a clear regulatory framework for digital assets by distinguishing between digital commodities, securities-like assets, and stablecoins.
As Onyx notes in its post on X, the V2 rollout will position XCN “as a Digital Commodity Token within a Mature Blockchain System.”
Potentially, this means broadening the project’s appeal to institutional investors amid broader regulatory compliance.
Onyx has cautioned the community that there will be no token swaps, with users asked to beware of scams and fake airdrops.
Onyxcoin price outlook
The anticipation surrounding Onyx V2 could spark considerable interest in XCN, hence catalyzing an upward flip.
Among market outlook indicators traders are watching to gauge potential price movements is open interest.
While XCN derivatives have seen a slight decrease in OI, the weighted funding rate remains positive. Derivatives volume, which reflects trading activity in futures and options, has also fallen 14% to around $25 million.
From a technical point of view, indicators on the daily chart further support a short term bearish strength.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) for XCN is currently at 43, not yet oversold. However, it is downsloping to suggest sellers could gain momentum.
Meanwhile, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) shows a bearish crossover, with the MACD line crossing below the signal line. XCN price is also near the support line of a falling wedge, and a drop could extend losses.
Interestingly, Onyxcoin is down 19% over the past week and has pared most of the gains seen when price jumped to highs of $0.02 in mid-July.
XCN is nonetheless more than 914% up in the past year. While this suggests a bullish trend amidst broader market volatility, price is near a critical support level.
