Bitcoin and Ether cryptocurrencies rose Monday, helping digital currencies broadly to an all-time valuation record.The total value of the digital-currency universe tracked by data research site Coinmarketcap.com, including those linked to the Bitcoin BTCUSD, +0.37% Ethereum and Ripple blockchain networks, reached around $160 billion on the session, surpassing a previous record at $156.4 billion on Aug. 25.
Most recently, one bitcoin token was buying $4,397.32 off about 2.7% from its 52-week high at $4,522.13, according to MarketWatch data and research site Coindesk.com.
A single Ether token bought $342.71, about $40 off its mid-June all-time high, while Bitcoin Cash, a spinoff from bitcoin, was down 3.6% at $599.16
So-called cryptocurrencies tend to see both big intraday and interday price swings.
Growing valuations for cybercurrencies come as the decentralized platforms garner increased attention from average folks and businesses. The Chicago Board Options Exchange, which operates the largest options exchange, has teamed up with Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss twins to create bitcoin derivatives.

And bitcoin's share of total market cap keeps falling. I do believe that if they don't address their problems with the fees and hashrate, we'll see a flippening.
