The Internet Computer (ICP), the token of the Swiss-based non-profit organization Dfinity Foundation, was launched on Friday (7). In less than four days, the new digital asset has risen to the 8th largest position in the world, with a market capitalization of around US $ 50 billion. In this brief period, the token has already been listed in the main brokers in the market, such as Coinbase, Binance, Gate.io, Huobi Global and Okex, which pushed its price, which came close to US $ 400 this Tuesday ( 11), according to CoinMarketCap. Although new, ICP has been developed since 2016 by the Dfinity Foundation, an organization that aims to build a decentralized and scalable blockchain in the cloud to store data and support applications. In practice, the project - led by an enthusiastic technology entrepreneur named Dominic Williams - was born with the claim to be a public internet and free from the 'clutches' of the big technology monopolies, such as Google, Facebook, Amazon etc. The ICP would be the token of that network.
