The recent announcement of the strategic partnership between the Waves platform and GBP Digital (the Digital arm of Gazprombank) has already driven the price of WAVES by over 50% (2.6$ a week ago and around 4.5$ at this moment).
The third largest bank of Russia, Gazprombank sees this partnership as a means to equip itself for the future i.e. providing clients with comprehensive initial coin offering (ICO) services and customised blockchain solutions — specifically tailored for the Russian metals and mining sector.
And it works both ways. This will not only introduce WAVES and crypto currency in general with the public, but it will allow the bank to meet the ever-rising demands of investors wanting to invest in the crypto currency world.
Hoping WAVES hits its former high of over 6.8$
