Approximately 26.18% of the bitcoin Gold trade volume was registered by Bithumb via the trading pair BTG/KRW, followed by the pair BTG/BTC on Binance.
In the otherwise silent space of this particular hard fork, the surge is being speculated to be because of the latest full-featured desktop called the Electrum G. The wallet boasts a light-weight, feature-rich, and user-friendly wallet for BTG. According to the official BTG , Electrum G is a Simplified Payment Verification wallet that stores just the headers and not the entire blockchain.
