Token benefits include full on-chain redemption, no need for technical integration, and a fixed total supply of 10 million WAMPL tokens.
Wrapped Ampleforth has witnessed price swings since the Coinbase announcement, first spiking 22% from $6.03 to $7.36 before falling back to $6.17.
After more volatile price action over the last 24 hours, WAMPL is currently down a percent to $6.41.
