A trillion dollars in the crypto currency. Why Pavel Durov displays Telegram on ICO

Unlike Russian citizens enjoying the long New Year holidays, crypto traders, investors and crypto-instruments all over the world have kept their nose to the wind for the past ten days. What interesting happened in the cryptomir, while we ate Olivier on vacation

A trillion dollars is close . The total capitalization of the crypto currency market January 4-6 broke through the bar at $ 800 billion. In just three days, the total volume of market capitalization of the Crypto-currency increased by $ 100 billion! It is interesting that during the first week of 2018 all leading crypto-currencies showed extraordinary growth.

What metamorphosis has undergone the rating of the main coins? First, Ripple came in second place in terms of capitalization, temporarily shifting firmly to the second position Ethereum. On January 4, the capitalization of Ripple reached $ 147 billion, accounting for more than half of the bitcoin share. The price of Ripple jumped from a mark of 25 cents to $ 3.80 - with a price increase of almost 1300% per month, the pumpkin literally turned into a coach.

The creators of Ripple woke up with billionaires. Co-founder Chris Larsen, who owns 5.19 billion XRP tokens, became richer overnight than Mark Zuckerberg and Sergey Brin, becoming the owner of a fortune of $ 59.9 billion.

On this fabulous background, Ethereum managed to reach a new high - $ 1,260 per coin. There were no obvious reasons for this in the period after the New Year - it is most likely the inertia from the nuclear spread of applications based on the smart contract Ethereum like CryptoKitties, as well as the actions of developers in the last months of 2017.
