LYL Stock Price Increased 35%: Why It Happened
  • The stock price of Dragon Victory International Ltd (NASDAQ: LYL) increased by 35%. This is why it happened. 

The stock price of Dragon Victory International Ltd — a company that operates an online crowdfunding platform in China — increased by 35% as it went from a previous close of $2.80 to $3.78. It appears that a coordinated short squeeze of the stock has been happening on social media platforms like StockTwits, Discord, and Reddit. Investors cited the low float and sympathy play involving the increasing price of the bitcoin cryptocurrency. The price of bitcoin increased over 80% over the past month as it went from $31,000 in late January to nearly $60,000 this past week.


Dragon Victory utilizes blockchains and smart contract technology for integrating the upstream and downstream links of auto parts supply chains.
