Market Summary
Market Cap: $101,223,756,762
24h Vol: $3,141,144,729
BTC Dominance: 42.3%
We're seeing a bit more green than this morning, as we've gained $2B in Market Cap. Litecoin, Dash and Gnosis are seeing huge gains over the last week, but Veritaseum is still leading the pack at a whopping 111%. Almost everything else looks fairly stable within a few +/- percentages over the last 24 hours. Interestingly enough, Bitcoin is continuing to rise the closer to August 1st we get. Are people buying it up to dump it right before that key date? Or perhaps they're just optimistic about the future? If you're like me you're probably not worried about what happens in the short term, but it should be a fun ride the next few weeks as people continue to argue and more news is released.
