YEREVAN (CoinChapter.com) – Web3 blockchain token FLOW jumped 40% in the New York session on Aug 4 and traded at $2.58 after Bitcoin-like consolidation since mid-June. Moreover, the digital chart flashed bearish cues, but the Instagram partnership helped FLOW defy the trend.

Instagram Partnership Behind The Surge

Meanwhile, as Flow announced on Aug 4, it will become “one of the first blockchains to be supported by Meta.” The latter will introduce NFTs to “collectors and creators” on Instagram, minted on Flow.

The feature includes connecting a digital wallet, sharing digital collectibles, and automatically tagging the creator and collector. There will be no fees associated with posting or sharing a digital collectible on Instagram.
