Maybe the reason might be the fact the EGC will soon be added at the exchange C-CEX.
I see EGC is there on the first place as the next coin to be added on the exchange.
DOn't know if this is the reason, but anyway that means more people will be able to deal with this coin.
That would be good. I buy on cryptopia and yobit at the moment. Will be good to see some more markets holding it.
