It seems the ASIC owners are not eager to sell their share of DERO. I am not sure how this will play out in the long term, but for now the price is rising rapidly and so is the volume. A 20,000 buy order has been placed at 0.00015000 BTC per DERO. This is huge and should reinforce the current cost.

Also, DERO currently has a 24 hour trade volume of $85,000, $15,000 shy of coinmarketcap's listing requirement. Getting listed on coinmarketcap could bring a significant amount of attention to the project and grow the community.
