​​Governance proposals and layer-two launches provide a boost to altcoins

Bullish sentiment is on the rise on Sept. 14 as the price of Bitcoin (BTC) climbed higher throughout the morning and now takes aim at the $47,000 level. 

The building momentum also had a positive effect on altcoins and a handful of tokens posted double-digit gains.

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows that the biggest gainers over the past 24 hours were Rari Governance Token (RGT), Curve (CRV) and Synthetix Network (SNX).

The Rari Governance Token is the native token of Rari Capital, a non-custodial decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol that offers users a way to autonomously trade crypto assets and earn a yield.

According to data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro, market conditions for RGT have been favorable for some time.

The boost in momentum for CRV seen on Sept. 13 came as a result of the announcement that the Curve protocol had launched on the Ethereum layer-2 scaling solution Arbitrum.
