Most Significant Crypto Gainers and Losers

NavCoin (+64.12%)

NavCoin (NAV) emerged as one of the most significant gainers in the crypto markets in the last 24 hours.  NAV made a 64.12% gain against the US dollar and is currently trading at $0.433. Historical data from CMC shows that the NavCoin’s volume dropped from around $3 million to $100,000 in the last three months. However, NAV now holds a daily volume of $15,395,162 and a market cap of $27,477,640 at press time.

A sudden rise in price without any communication from the project team only tells us one thing – a pump and dump or news are soon to come out.

Electroneum (+54.95%)

Electroneum (ETN) has had positive sentiment since the launch of a beta version of the Electroneum mobile payment application last week. Trading volume has been rising since the launch, and the daily volume hovers around $5,452,046 at the time of writing. ETN new gains stand at 54.95% against the USD dollar with a current price of $0.0144.

RusGas (-57.75%)

RusGas (RGS) has been on a decline and emerged as the most significant loser in the last 24 hours. RGS is down by 57.74% against the USD and currently trading at $0.0003 with a volume of $894,275. RusGas is a so-called blockchain platform in the gas industry, and it seems to be just another failed project in the crypto space.
