The cryptocurrency market faced another day of erratic price movements on Jan. 13 after Bitcoin (BTC) bulls were rebuffed in their attempt to push the price above $44,000. This led to a sharp sell-off that has pushed the price back into the $42,000 range.
Despite the mid-day struggle that Bitcoin and many of the other large-cap cryptocurrencies faced, several small-cap altcoins managed to make notable gains.
Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows that the three biggest gainers in the last 24 hours were Cream Finance (CREAM), Electroneum (ETN), and Rari Governance Token (RGT).
CREAM token holders can opt for Iron Bank token
Cream Finance, a DeFi lending protocol, led the altcoin market with a gain of more than 35% after its 24-hour trading volume soared 365% to $75.2 million.
Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows that after falling to a low of $37.10 on Jan. 10, CREAM price catapulted 112% to hit a daily high of $78.65 on Jan. 13, as its 24-hour trading volume soared 351% to $75.3 million.
The price increase follows the announcement that CREAM token holders can now be eligible to receive the next Iron Bank token by staking their CREAM on the protocol during an extended lock-up period.
Electroneum focuses on the sharing economy
Mobile-based cryptocurrency platform Electroneum saw the price of its native ETN token soar 75% to $0.0134 in the past day, while its 24-hour trading volume surged 1,552%.
