Presearch, Frontier and Algorand book double-digit gains as altcoins soar

On Sept. 9, bulls made a strong showing as Algorand (ALGO) and Solana (SOL) each steamrolled to new highs even as Bitcoin (BTC) continues to flounder under the $47,000 mark. 

The strong performance from the altcoins gives further credence to the argument that the market is in an "altseason," a phase that is typically characterized by surging altcoin prices when BTC is range-bound.

Presearch integrates Wyre into its marketplace

Presearch, a blockchain-based decentralized search protocol, registered a 61.3% gain in the past 24 hours and it appears that investors reacted positively to the project's recent addition as a search engine option on Android phones.

Frontier prepares to go mobile

The second-biggest gainer on the 24-hour chart is Frontier, a chain-agnostic decentralized finance aggregator that supports a number of blockchains, including Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain and Harmony.

VORTECS™ data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro began to detect a bullish outlook for FRONT on Sept. 4, prior to the recent price rise.
