The Basic Attention Token (BAT) hit an all-time high of $1.81 early this morning, and the cryptocurrency is trading at $1.52 at the time of writing, according to CoinGecko. BAT is the native cryptocurrency for the privacy-focused web browser Brave. Instead of tracking users’ behavior and showing ads based on that behavior, Brave allows users to earn BAT for voluntarily viewing ads. They can also block all ads, but they do not earn any rewards for doing so. The coin was launched through an ICO in 2017, bringing the firm $35 million.
For the possible reasons for the rise of the token, it is necessary to look at the latest announcements and updates from Brave.
