On August 3, Coinbase made another announcement that the listing had been scheduled for August 7, causing another surge in the price of the coin. By August 7, the coin was trading at $21.25 having risen by 50 percent. That has been the peak before a price reversal that has seen ETC lose 32 percent of its value.
