A relatively obscure Omicron has skyrocketed to an all-time high today as a new fast-spreading COVID-19 variant was named by World Health Organization (WHO) after the token.
As a result, Stock markets and Black Friday saw a massive sell-off that wiped out November gains for the S&P 500 Index and the Nasdaq Composite late last week
Mr. Whale, a crypto critic, commented on Twitter that the massive price spike was a sign that things are in a “giant bubble.”
A crypto token named after the new COVID-19 variant ‘Omicron’ is up over 650% within the 3 days, and is now worth over $400 million.
