MTL, RGT and KSM post gains in excess of 36% after the ETH/BTC pair turned bullish and Bitcoin price trades in a range-bound pattern.
Signs that an altseason is underway are beginning to increase across the cryptocurrency market after numerous altcoins posted double-digit gains on Aug. 31. Meanwhile, the price of Bitcoin (BTC) continued to face headwinds and the digital asset trades at $47,100.
The top altcoin Ether (ETH) looks poised to stage a 40% rally against BTC according to analysts, and a 5% gain in the ETH/BTC pair on Tuesday is thought to be the fuel behind altcoins which rallied more than 30% today.
Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows that the biggest gainers over the past 24-hours were Metal (MTL), Rari Governance Token (RGT) and Kusama (KSM).
Metal Pay expands to Georgia
MTL, the top-performing token, is the native cryptocurrency of the Metal Pay platform which touts itself as “the easiest way to buy, sell and trade crypto.”
VORTECS™ data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro began to detect a bullish outlook for MTL on Aug. 27, prior to the recent price rise.
The VORTECS™ Score, exclusive to Cointelegraph, is an algorithmic comparison of historic and current market conditions derived from a combination of data points including market sentiment, trading volume, recent price movements and Twitter activity.

The surge in momentum came following a Aug. 31 announcement that the project had received its money transmitter license for the U.S. state of Georgia, meaning residents in the state can now legally utilize services offered by Metal Pay.
