Total Crypto Coins Market Capitalization Now Over $100 Billion USD

 

According  to the data from the website CoinMarketCap that tracks all of the more  serious crypto currencies the total market capitalization has just  passed the $100 Billion USD mark. Furthermore in less than three months  it has risen multiple times from just about $25 Billion to today’s peak  of a little over $101 Billion USD with Bitcoin surging shortly to a  little over $2900 USD, before getting back down to the $2700 USD range.  Many are wondering already when the bubble will burst or if it will at  all, as other people are considering Bitcoin and some of the altcoins  still being greatly undervalued. For now the craze continues, even with  the shortages of GPUs and other mining hardware on the market.


 

It  is interesting to note that Bitcoin (BTC) is responsible for just about  the half of the total market cap of crypto currencies, if we take BTC  from the equation and look only at all altcoins the number falls down to  abut $53 Billion. In the last three months Bitcoin has significantly  reduced its dominance in the market cap from over 80% to less than 50%  currently. The most significant altcoins gaining in the total market cap  at the expense of BTC are Ethereum and Ripple. Although we’ve seen some  positive movement with Litecoin, Dash, Monero and some others as well,  they are still much smaller compared to the market cap of the top three  crypto coins in terms of market cap.
