Ripple has been leading the crypto market in terms of gains. In the entire altcoin market, Ripple’s XRP token has been rising under 17% and dominating every other cryptocurrency in the top 100 in terms of growth. Currently, Ripple is valued $1.04 on Bitstamp with a $21.7 billion market cap.
However, other cryptocurrencies were strong too – as the total market cap rose approximately $15 billion – to $470 billion which is now closer to the much-expected $500 billion mark. This represents a single day increase of more than 3%.
Bitcoin, for example, is eyeing $11,500 for a couple of days now. The flagship cryptocurrency was battling around the $10,000 mark over the past few weeks – but now rose to $11,489 with a $194.2 billion market cap. When seen through a timelapse of seven days, it increased more than 16% – contributing to a 41.3 market share.
Ethereum still managed to rise a bit less than 2% and is currently trading at $862 on Bitfinex. This translates into a $84.7 billion market cap. Even though the growth of Ethereum is moving slowly, is still the second largest cryptocurrency in terms of market cap.
Bitcoin Cash, NEO, EOS and Stellar are the altcoins following these moves. They all climbed by a couple of percents – with Stellar rallying with 11% growth. Monero and IOTA also measured some growth and overtook each other’s places a couple of times.
