-
If you’re looking for a cryptocurrency that can generate high ROI like that of ETH or BNB then SFP isn’t the right coin to invest in. SFP use case is strictly related to the SafePal ecosystem. It should only be purchased if you’re using SafePal products or services else it won’t make much sense to invest in SFP considering it’s a tokenized asset of a crypto wallet.
