Bio Protocol (BIO), the latest project launched on Binance, experienced a 6.5% drop in value after its debut on January 1st. Despite Binance’s backing and the increasing interest in the DeSci (Decentralized Science) sector, the token started with losses, surprising analysts who expected an immediate surge.
BIO’s price started at $0.86, but quickly dropped to $0.76 before stabilizing at around $0.80. Despite the drop, Bio Protocol managed to reach a market capitalization of $1.3 billion in its first few days, positioning itself as one of the most relevant tokens within the DeSci sector. With a fully diluted valuation of $2.6 billion, BIO garnered attention, albeit with relatively low trading volumes.
Bio Protocol’s future in an expanding DeSci sector
The project was backed by Binance Launchpad, a platform that helps launch new tokens into the market. Bio Protocol was introduced as a platform to support the launch of science-focused DAOs (decentralized autonomous organizations), and has already been responsible for launching eight DAOs, including Hairdao, which currently leads with a treasury of $77 million.
The DeSci market remains a niche with low liquidity, which has hindered the rapid growth of its tokens. Although BIO leads the charts, transactions on decentralized platforms remain limited. However, the project has shown no signs of manipulation or linked wallets, which puts it in a good position to develop.
The rise of Bio Protocol has revitalized the DeSci sector, which reached a total market capitalization of $2.6 billion, representing significant growth from $500 million by the end of 2024. As interest in biotechnology and life extension increases, the DeSci market could witness even greater growth.
DeSci tokens like BIO continue to face liquidity challenges, limiting the speed of their growth. While BIO leads in market cap, transactions on decentralized platforms are still limited, but there are no signs of manipulation or suspicious wallet activity.
