FTM, the token that powers the high-performance smart-contract-enabled Fantom layer-1 blockchain protocol, has seen a stunning return to form this year. Some pre-Fed meeting profit taken has seen it slip back under $0.52 from the more than eight-month highs it hit above $0.55 on Tuesday.
But FTM/USD continues to trade up a jaw-dropping 160% since the end of December 2022, with the pace of its exponential rate of gains picking up over the course of January.

But investors looking for high potential returns should also consider another type of crypto investing – presales. Up-and-coming crypto projects often offer the
