24 Hour Double-Digit Crypto Gainers: Ecash Jumps 40%, Tezos Spikes 16%, Arweave Gains 12%

During the last week, a large quantity of popular crypto assets have consolidated and have even seen some slight losses during the last seven days. However, there’s a slew of crypto coins that have seen significant double-digit gains during the last 24 hours.

Ecash, Tezos, Arweave, Bitcoin Gold Jump

The lion’s share of crypto coins in the crypto economy have seen double-digit gains during the last month but over the last week, there’s been some consolidation for a great number of the usual market leaders.

For instance, over the last day, both bitcoin (BTC) and ethereum (ETH) have slid in value slightly and have been very consolidated during the last week. But there’s been a variety of other crypto assets that have made massive moves during the last day to end the weekend.

The biggest gainer on Sunday is a coin called ecash (formally BCHA or Bitcoin ABC) which has jumped 42.4% during the last day. Seven-day statistics show ecash has spiked 98.4% this week.

Other notable gainers on Sunday include cosmos (ATOM), bitcoinsv (BSV), and enjin coin (ENJ). Coins like flow, kusama, decentraland, and bitcoin cash (BCH) have been moving up the ladder as well in terms of 24-hour gains.

Unfortunately for Safemoon fans, the safemoon (SAFEMOON) token is down 26% on Sunday as controversy surrounds the network. Safemoon is the only double-digit loser on Sunday and below SAFEMOON is axie infinity (AXS) which dropped over 6% during the last 24 hours.

The Congolese Mountain of Gold: Surprise Discovery in Africa Shows Metal’s Scarcity Is Hard to Prove

A myriad of gold bugs like to compliment the yellow precious metal for its ostensible scarcity, as estimates say only 2,500 to 3,000 tons of new gold is produced annually. While new gold discoveries have seemingly slowed, investigative studies also show that in some areas, gold is being smuggled into the economy by the ton, and often never accounted for as far as per annum issuance estimates. Recently, reports show a whole mountain of gold was discovered in the Congo, as the Democratic Republic of the Congo is well known for being a region that sees tons of smuggled gold filtered into the global financial system unreported. Surprise Gold Deposits Continue to Crack the Precious Metal’s Scarcity Proposition It has always been said that the precious metal gold (Au) is scarce, and some reports even say that gold mining on earth will end by the year 2050 .
