For its part, Ethereum has grown to $238.05 (+1.5%), while XRP has jumped by 0.24% and is now trading at $0.198.
In spite of the recent attack on Twitter, in which hackers have stolen a significant amount of Bitcoins, the price of the reference crypto has not been affected by the incident.
However, the price of Bitcoin is getting closer to an important psychological barrier, so if bulls do not manage to keep its price above $9,000, it could eventually crash to $8,500.
It has recently been known the attackers behind the largest hack in the history of Twitter are trying to launder some of the Bitcoins through the privacy-focused crypto wallet Wasabi Wallet.
According to experts at Elliptic Analysis Service, the attackers are trying to launder 2.89 BTCs, 22% of the funds obtained during the attack.
According to CoinMarketCap’s ranking, 7 currencies on the top 10 are in green.
As for the market cap of all currencies listed in CoinMarketCap, it stays at $273,355,676,439.
