Despite the cryptocurrency market being in a slight slump over past two weeks which saw Bitcoin sink to lows of $4,000, Stellar and Monero have both claimed that they are going to be the next big thing in the cryptocurrency space by consolidating their market cap.

The two digital currencies have added good amounts to their market cap to solidify their holdings in higher places on the list for the top ten cryptocurrencies.

For a short time last week, Stellar Lumens became the fifth biggest cryptocurrency after it took over EOS however, it was still behind Bitcoin Cash. Currently, Stellar is the sixth biggest cryptocurrency in the crypto market after falling back down.

Still in first place, however, is Bitcoin with a market cap of over $69 billion but it has lost massively after it dropped below the $5,000, $4,500 and $4,000 key resistance levels, then leaving it currently priced at $3,972 at the time of writing.

Following the announcement of a Stellar airdrop by the Asia Pacific based blockchain exchange Bithumb has announced a 15 Bitcoin giveaway to a random member. The airdrop is for the celebration of the exchanges fifth-year anniversary of trading.
