Electroneum is currently one of the best performing cryptocurrencies in the top 100 coins ranking. The 42nd-ranked virtual currency is almost at a 50 percent gain in the last 24 hours. Some ETN bulls believe the coin still has more room to grow given the recent updates and fixes.<\/p>\n

Electroneum to the Moon<\/h3>\n

Currently trading at $0.025, ETN is up by more than 47 percent in the last trading day. ETN\u2019s spike began on Tuesday (September 18, 2018). At the time, Electroneum\u2019s value stood at $0.005. By the following day, ETN surged to $0.015, an increase of 200 percent. This price spike catapulted Electroneum into the 52nd position on the market capitalization ranking.<\/p>\n

After its Tuesday\/Wednesday spike, ETN continued to increase, even more, adding to its value in the process. ETN\u2019s market capitalization currently sits at $201 million. At the zenith of the Thursday surge, Electroneum reached $0.027, its highest price since the start of May 2018.<\/p>\n

As at press time, ETN had recovered from a minor pullback and seems destined to test $0.026 once again.<\/p>\n

Double Spending Bug Fixed<\/h3>\n

Despite the significant price rally, ETN\u2019s trading volume hasn\u2019t increased. Much of the spike appears due to some critical updates made to Electroneum\u2019s operating protocols, as well as the mobile payment app beta launch.<\/p>\n

Electroneum which is a fork of the privacy-focused coin Monero inherited a bug which allowed double spending attacks<\/a> by funding an exchange multiple times with the same coins. According to reports, ETN\u2019s development team recently patched the bug as announced in a tweet<\/a> posted on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
