Tezos (XTZ) price spikes 64% to hit 8-month high

As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience in the financial markets, I find it fascinating to witness such rapid and significant price surges as we are seeing with Tezos (XTZ) today. The 64% increase in just 24 hours is nothing short of remarkable, especially considering that this is the highest level since early April.


In just a day, the value of Tezos’ original token soared over 64%, reaching an all-time high of $1.40 – a peak not seen for Tezos since early April.

According to market data provided by crypto.news, Tezos (XTZ) saw a significant increase in value, starting at $0.78 in early trades on November 18 and peaking at $1.40 across major cryptocurrency exchanges. This price surge for the native token of this autonomous proof-of-stake blockchain network exceeded the growth experienced by Hedera (HBAR).

Among the leading 100 cryptocurrencies, Hedera experienced one of the greatest gains, surging by approximately 45% within the last 24 hours.
