Bitcoin, which has made 6.9% on the day, has a market cap of $1.12 trillion and a market share of 41.3%. It is about the same size as Tesla but slightly smaller than the Silver market cap, which is $1.36 trillion.

Ethereum has a $560 billion capitalization and is now larger than JPMorgan Chase, which has $496 billion. The third-largest crypto asset by market cap is Binance Coin which has $107 billion at the time of writing.

Crypto Movers and Shakers

CoinGecko is reporting a 24-hour volume of $138 billion, which is the same as the total market cap was in March 2019.

Ripple’s XRP is the top ten’s top mover with a 9.8% gain on the day, propelling the token to $1.27. It has been knocked down the charts recently, however, and currently sits below Cardano in seventh.
