CoinEx News: DigiByte (DGB) traded near $0.00303 on July 17, rising about 10.8% over 24 hours after reaching an intraday high of $0.00403. DigiDollar, a USD-pegged asset designed to be minted by locking DGB as overcollateralized backing, is expected to activate on the DigiByte mainnet on July 17, adding a new use case for DGB holders.

With DGB still roughly 25% below its intraday peak, the next test is whether the activation produces sustained trading activity and measurable demand to lock DGB, rather than a short-lived event-driven spike.
