Today, the cryptocurrency market witnessed a notable rise in the value of Celo (CELO), a scaling solution for Ethereum and a global payment infrastructure for cryptocurrencies. This surge came after Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin shared his positive thoughts about Celo on the X platform.

He stated, “This is amazing to see. Improving worldwide access to basic payments/finance has always been a key way that Ethereum can be good for the world, and it’s great to see @Celo getting traction.”

This endorsement led to a remarkable rise of over 17% in CELO’s price, bringing it to $0.6231, with a market capitalization of $41 million. Notably, trading volume skyrocketed by 371% today.
