Notcoin, the cryptocurrency tied to the popular Telegram-based game, saw a significant price jump after Binance announced a new trading pair.
The NOT token surged 16%, highlighting increased investor interest and trading activity.
As of this morning, Notcoin is trading at $0.018, up 10% for the day, according to CoinMarketCap.
This makes it one of the top gainers in the crypto market today, boosting its market cap to $1.84 billion.
The surge follows Binance’s announcement of a new trading pair for NOT against the Brazilian Real (NOT/BRL), which becomes available today at 14:00 UTC.
This new listing provides more accessibility for Brazilian traders and reflects Binance’s ongoing support for the token.
Notcoin originated earlier this year as a social clicker game on Telegram, where players earn Notcoin currency by tapping a virtual coin.
The game has gained a substantial following, and the NOT token has become central to its ecosystem.
It encourages community engagement, with users earning tokens through gameplay and staking.
Since its token generation event (TGE) in May, which introduced NOT on major exchanges like OKX and Binance, Notcoin has quickly climbed the ranks, now among the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market cap.
The token’s 24-hour trading volume has also surged by 65%, reaching $1.26 billion.
Despite this growth, NOT remains 37% below its all-time high of $0.0289 on June 2.
Nevertheless, the token’s integration into new markets and its community-focused approach continue to drive interest.
In a notable recent move, Notcoin donated over 1 billion NOT tokens, valued at $6.8 million, to Telegram and its founder, Pavel Durov.
Durov has committed to holding these tokens until their value hits $680 million, with plans to use the funds to expand Telegram’s server capacity.
