Even better than earning interest is the Bitshares social consensus: just for holding Bitshares PTS you get an at least 10% sharedrop in all future Bitshares DACs (decentralized autonomous companies). PTS just hard forked to use Delegated Proof of Stake (

Coinmarketcap will be updated shortly. Poloniex has resumed trading on the new chain and Bter will transition and resume trading soon.
