For its part, Ether has increased to $4,123.59 (+4.24%), while Binance Coin has risen by 5.89% and is now trading at $681.34.
The price of the reference crypto is inching closer and closer to surpassing $59,000 after falling as low as $56,000 over the weekend. However, it is worth noting the asset is not the only one to have had a good weekend. Thus, Ether, the second largest cryptocurrency in the market by market cap, broke through the $4,000 barrier early this morning for the first time ever.
As for the Bitcoin dominance index, it stands at 43.9%, which shows crypto investors are showing a strong interest in altcoins, a very positive sign for the health of the cryptocurrency market.
Dogecoin, meanwhile, is also experiencing a 5% growth, likely driven by news that UK fintech company Revolut is exploring the possibility of adding support for the meme crypto.
According to CoinMarketCap’s ranking, 9 currencies on the top 10 are in green.
As for the market cap of all currencies listed in CoinMarketCap, it stays at $2,510,893,863,817.
