From a low of just under $7 yesterday NANO (previously XRB) is nudging towards $10 today with a spurt that started a couple of hours ago. It had been down trending all week from a high of $10.02 until today when it has spiked back up to $9.05. RaiBlocks had a great run in early January peaking at $36, like most altcoins that were pumped during this period it has fallen back heavily.

Nano touts itself as a ‘block lattice’ based network offering zero fee digital currency transactions. This makes micropayments more viable as there are no fees and transactions are instant.
