Does anyone know what happened to Bitshares/PTS ? Why the huge jump in volume ? $5 million + ? Was there a breakthrough of some sort ? They are nearing the $30million market cap which they have only reached briefly before during the Chinese pump in early December. I find this situation very curious considering they are a direct competitor with Counterparty along with Mastercoin and NXT.

It was announced that later BTS X chains would be based off of the test BTS chain and thus everyone is rushing to get PTS/AGS before the 28th since most of the market seems to think that BTS is worth a lot as a DAC but other concepts are not.
