The crypto market is reaching new highs but is slowing down from the explosive growth. Some cryptos, however, are still charging straight ahead to the new highs. Bitcoin is currently trading for $10,461, which represents a 1.03% increase on the day. Meanwhile, Ethereum gained a staggering 10% on the day, while XRP skyrocketed as well, with its 12.91%.

Hedera Hashgraph took the position of today’s most prominent daily gainer yet again, with gains of 47.35%. On the other side, Synthetix Network lost 7.5% on the day, which made it the most prominent daily loser.

Bitcoin’s dominance fell by almost a full one percent in the past 24 hours as most of the market moved up more than Bitcoin itself. It is now at 61.82%, which represents a decrease of 0.97% when compared to the value it had yesterday.

The cryptocurrency market capitalization gained a great amount of value on the day and managed to pass the $300 billion mark. It is currently valued at $307.46 billion, which represents an increase of $8.01 billion when compared to yesterday’s value.

What happened in the past 24 hours

The cryptocurrency market passed the mark of $300 billion market capitalization as of today. Over the past month, this figure slowly and steadily increased from $218.4 billion to $303.1 billion. This represents a total market cap gain of 65.92% from the start of 2020.

Ever since the beginning of the year, the market cap was slowly rising, while Bitcoin’s dominance was slowly falling. Bitcoin’s dominance rate dropped from 68% to 62% as many altcoins managed to score double and even triple-digit percentage gains.
