Ethereum’s Market Performance Since December 2018
Mid December last year found ETH in the number 3 spot according to market capitalization. This was after XRP edged out the King of Smart Contracts from the number 2 slot as the bear market accelerated with BTC trading at $3,200 on the 15th of December. At the same time, ETH was trading at around $83.
ETH is currently valued at $153 which is a 84.3% increase in a period of less than three weeks when compared with the $83 value witnessed mid December. With another 2 weeks to the hard fork, the digital asset might continue to make gains in the crypto markets as excitement and curiosity around the event hits the crypto community.
