It has been a crazy week for MONERO up from 53.54$ on August 19 to 120$ by August 26, today
The price burst is mainly due to it's official listing on a major Korean exchange known as Bithumb.
Another factor contributing to it's increase might be the spread of curiosity among crypto-investors, such as myself! As soon as it started increasing like a Mofo - it's under everyone's radar now!
On August 23, Bithumb officially started accepting MONERO deposits on it's platform - However trading MONERO was supposed to start today, but it got rescheduled for tomorrow!
By the 27th of August Bithumb will officially allow for XMR Trading Pairs, and we all have witnessed what the Koreans did to ripple.
Now Go get yourself some MONERO
