$NOT, the token underpinning crypto’s viral new Telegram-based social clicker game Notcoin, has surged 18% overnight and about 109% since this time a fortnight ago.
The Notcoin token currently changes hands at $0.01858.
It has been rallying steadily since it launched three weeks ago, with the exception of a brief wobble last week.
