A short tweet by Reddit co-founder and CEO Alexis Ohanian, sent the price of the Golem Network Token (GNT) to its highest level in two weeks on Tuesday, “Getting more and more intrigued by @golemproject,“ tweeted Ohanian to his 146k followers.
At press time, GNT is up close to 20 percent on the day at 0.000228 ($0.60). GNT’s exchange rate against bitcoin has been oscillating in a tight range since the end of May, hovering between 0.000176 and 0.00021:

Cryptocurrency data portal CoinMarketCap.com shows that the market capitalization of GNT rose to a new record high of $516.8 million as a result of Ohanian's endorsement:
