CVX, which has risen 52% in the last 24 hours and at the time of writing, was among the day's risers. The rapid increase in entries into the Curve ecosystem in recent days and the accompanying explosion in andCRV volumes may have been among the reasons for the rise of CVX, which is directly linked to the ecosystem. Investors' aim to get a share of transaction fees and mining rewards through Convex may have increased interest in this area, while the price may have risen.
