CELO, Fantom and Keep3rV1 rally after liquidity mining programs launch

Newly launched incentive programs and protocol upgrades were followed by 50% rallies in CELO, FTM and KP3R.

The cryptocurrency market once again finds itself waiting for some form of catalyst to get the prices moving and this week commenced with the market moving sideways as Bitcoin struggles to find its footing near $48,000. 

Several altcoins have managed to break free of the wider market malaise and post impressive gains, giving credence to Cointelegraph's Markets Pro data intelligence service which is now indicating that altseason has arrived.

The initiative is built on the Celo blockchain and looks to harness the decentralized nature of the blockchain ecosystem to help increase financial inclusivity for the world’s 6 billion mobile phone users.
