The crypto market exploded these days with Bitcoin being able to surpass $18k for the first time in three years.
Altcoins have also exploded these days with ETH and XRP being the main stars.
Forbes notes that XRP, ETH, LTC are now the world’s biggest cryptos after BTC.
Forbes wrote that Ethereum, XRP, Litecoin and chainlink have a combined market value of around $100 billion, and they have each added between 20% and 50% this week – in other words; they outpaced even BTC’s rally.
Ethereum, XRP, Litecoin and Chainlink have been boosted by BTC’s growing popularity; other crypto trends have also pushed the prices up according to the online publication.
“Ethereum’s touching $500 for the first time since June 2018 represents a significant milestone,” Paolo Ardoino, the chief technology officer at British Virgin Islands-based Bitfinex, told Forbes.
He continued and said “Ethereum’s up, and coming transition to proof-of-stake is being closely watched. [Its] strong price performance underlines a mood of optimism that seems to be lifting the crypto space. While bitcoin is the undisputed king of crypto, the flourishing ethereum community is alive with many possibilities.”
