In this article, we will analyze On Terra the last 90 days of transactions involving mirror assets and examine what are the top 10 assets based on transactions and volume within each asset type.
Mirrored Assets (mAssets)
In the blockchain world, mAssets are tokens that are similar to “mirrors” of things in the real world by reflecting the current market price. Despite their cryptocurrencies’ open access, fractional ownership, and censorship resistance, they give traders exposure to real assets prices. mAssets, unlike traditional tokens, serve exclusively for tracking price movements of the corresponding assets and are therefore purely synthetic.
Here are a few mAssets registered on Mirror : mAAPL, mABNB, mAMC, mAMZN, mBABA, mBTC, mCOIN, mETH, mFB, mGLXY, mGME, mGOOGL, mGS, mIAU, mIAU (Delisted), mMSFT, mNFLX, mQQQ, mSLV, mSPY, mTSLA, mTWTR, mUSO, mVIXY etc..
