Market Summary
Market Cap: $90B
BTC Dominance: 49.7%
24 Hour Volume: 2.2B
Active Currencies: 831
Active Assets: 185
Active Markets: 4774
We've maintained a rather steady market cap of $90B over the past few days. With August 1st right around the corner we'll finally get to see what all this fuss has been about. July has been an interesting month for crypto, and I'm glad it's almost behind us. Bitcoin dominance is right around 50%, but you'd have to speculate that it's due to more people moving into BTC before the fork.
There's actually quite a bit of green over the last 24 hours, with Statis being the clear winner at 11%. BitConnect has dropped the most over that timeframe, down about 5%. Monero and IOTA are actually up over the last 7 days, which is quite impressive given the drops recently. We're still trending upward according to the TaiFu index, so hopefully we see people getting back into crypto after the 1st.
