What CoinDesk reports
Leading the gains is BTW, the native token of Bitway, a bitcoin-compatible layer-1, which jumped 25% in the past 24 hours and is up 170% over the past 30 days.
The immediate significance

CoinDesk and Decrypt have also published a related report, providing another attributed account to compare without treating repetition as proof.
What remains unknown
