ETC Price Surges 6.09% Amid Altcoin Rally and Community Call

Ethereum Classic (ETC) has seen a significant increase in value over the last 24 hours, driven by a combination of factors including a general altcoin market strength and short-term community attention.

According to CoinMarketCap, ETC's price has risen by about 6.09% over the past day, with hourly prints between roughly 7.3 and 7.6, and a live price around 7.86.

The altcoin market cap increased by about 1.7% over the last 24 hours, indicating a mild risk-on environment where many non-BTC assets are up, not just ETC.

A community call scheduled for September 18 is likely contributing to the attention on ETC, with traders speculating that 'something might be announced' even when no concrete roadmap item is public.
