After a bad first quarter this year, April was without a doubt a great month for the cryptocurrency market. Excluding the stable coin Tether (USDT), each coin or token in the top 50 was priced in green last month.
- EOS entered the Top 5 by climbing a whopping 187%.
- STEEM rose from rank 32 to place 29 thanks to an increase of 156%.
- The total crypto market cap rose from 264 billion to 414 billion.
- Even though Bitcoin surged 33%, Bitcoin's dominance dropped from 45.5% at the beginning of April to 37% at the end of the month.
Here is the full overview.

Well I guess Tron performed well in April and will continue performing well in May too.
Yes EOS is a clean winner followed by steem and other cryptos.
All Alt coins are dominating in terms of profit gains..."Ontology" is the clear winner!
Indeed, Ontology has emerged.
I am surprised aion isn’t here
I was not expecting EOS to pump so much i have been hearing a lot of FOMO on the grapevine...
ontology is a beast
When Steem price highest than BTC ? :-)
I hope BTC break 12.5k by May. And Verge looks pretty strong atm.
April end was good for Crypto!
but in May we might see More rise!
I Think its inspiration article.
every one needed to known every update about cryptocurrencies . Thanks @penguinpablo for update
April was on a good side but, May can do better in the increasing the cryptocurrency as we keep working toward it.
They all did well and EOS did even better cos no one expected the sudden rise in value.
After Huobi listing, Steem went up the margin. Despite the correction of BTC, steem was still moving.
I am being optimistic this May
Even some small token also worked good.
nice to see so many green bars
Loving all those green numbers!
Wow I hadn't seen all that information put together in a nice chart yet even though I check and trade on the markets each day. Been a pretty good month!
I really like how Steem weathered the bear market in the first quarter and was up to about $4.5 last week before a slight pull back.
If we can ever figure out this reward pool allocation and bid bot problem we are positioned well to get into the top 20. Slow and steady wins the race. If we can keep this steady trend going and add a few more big exchanges I think we can get above the $20 mark by the end of 2018.
