On February 21st, Binance announced the 47th issue of Lanchpool project @Portalcoin, which supports BNB and FDUSD staking mining. Most people were not expecting this news. The hair-raising party regretted not sending more tweets, and the investment circle regretted why they did not include more E’s.
The reason is that from November to December last year, the Chinese area was basically filled with Tweets to gain points, and there were very few positive reports about Portal. At one point, some people questioned that their official website was exaggerated and intended to make money through viral marketing. Even the investors who participated in the pre-sale still thought that the project would be successful after they cautiously paid.
Facts have proved that those who think independently and participate deeply have the last laugh, and this wave of operations amazed everyone. Overall, excluding teams and investors, these three groups are about to win:
① Rich "gamblers": In December last year, the market conditions were not good, and there were many Fud voices about Portal. These people were still playing dozens of games, and there was obviously an element of gambling in it. Fortunately, they made the right bet. After Portal is listed on Binance, their rate of return will be the envy of others.
② Large BNB holders: The average return rate of Binance’s Launchpool in the past seven periods is approximately 142%. Holding BNB not only reaps the increase in BNB, but also gets a lot of new coins for free. The amount of BNB pledged in this period has reached a new high, which shows the market expectations and the big investors are comfortable again.
③"Lost the Saint": Portal launched two seasons of social mining at the end of last year, and it is said that some overseas bloggers earned a huge amount of points. Referring to the token model, 14% of tokens are used for community incentives. If the team structure is large, a larger proportion should be allocated to social mining participants, and those at the top will get the meat.

4) Price prediction
According to statistics from Planet Daily, the average annualized return rate of Binance’s Launchpool in the past seven periods has reached approximately 142%. If PORTAL’s annualized rate of return is also 142%, and a total of 16 million BNB are involved in mining, calculated based on the BNB price of 364 USDT, then the reasonable price of PORTAL is 16, 000, 000 × 364 × 2.7% ÷ 40, 000, 000 = 3.96 USDT.
If calculated based on 3.96 USDT, the initial circulating market value of PORTAL reaches US$660 million. There is a risk of overestimation. It is recommended to estimate conservatively. If calculated with reference to the XAI yield rate, which is also in the chain gaming sector, the initial price will be 2.4 USDT.
