Recent market dynamics show a positive rebound in the cryptocurrency realm, with notable assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum making steady gains. Surprisingly, Notcoin (NOT) has emerged as the star performer, outperforming all other coins in the top 100 rankings.
Following a period of volatility that witnessed significant drops in major assets by 20% or more from late Sunday to Monday, Tuesday brings relief as the market displays green patterns. In a unique twist, it is Notcoin, a cryptocurrency gaming token, leading the charge rather than Bitcoin or Ethereum.
Notcoin (NOT) serves as the token for a game on Telegram launched on The Open Network (TON) back in May. Rapidly establishing itself as the most significant gaming token of the year, Notcoin has seen an impressive surge of 30% over the past 24 hours, surpassing $0.012, as per CoinGecko data. Notably, it stands out as the top gainer among the top 100 coins by market cap within this timeframe, despite a marginal 0.4% dip in its price over the previous week resulting from substantial losses preceding the recent spike.
The recent price upswing of Notcoin is directly linked to the introduction of a new game, *Lost Dogs: The Way*, within the Telegram mini app. This narrative-based game enables Notcoin players to select from three potential story outcomes, earning in-game currency based on their decisions. Players can maximize their rewards by inviting friends and fulfilling various tasks.
Remarkably, Notcoin’s surge is an isolated phenomenon in the realm of gaming tokens, as it stands as the sole gaming token within the top 100 cryptocurrencies to register a double-digit percentage increase over the past day. In contrast, other gaming tokens like Gala Games (GALA) and Immutable (IMX) have recorded more modest gains of around 9% and 8%, respectively.
While Notcoin’s meteoric rise overshadows the gains of significant assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, which have seen increases of slightly over 3% and 2% respectively in the same period, it’s crucial to recognize the volatile nature of gaming tokens. These tokens, much like meme coins, are prone to substantial price fluctuations, with Notcoin being classified as a meme coin within the TON ecosystem.
