For quite some time, the crypto market was gripped under extreme bearishness, resulting in an overall market cap tumbling under US$1 trillion in May this year. On 18 July, the crypto market cap reclaimed its US$1 trillion market cap, courtesy of a rally of over 4%, raising hopes of sunnier days ahead. The crypto market cap stood at US$1.01 trillion at 12.03 PM (GMT +1) on Monday, with a total crypto market volume over the last 24 hours at US$80.60 billion.
Leading cryptos, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Cardano, etc., witnessed green after a long time, bringing smiles to the faces of the market participants. In fact, Bitcoin was up by 31.14% and was trading at US$22,041.39, while Ethereum was up by 8.45% and was trading at US$1476.39, and Cardano was placed at US$0.488 with a rally of over 7.55, according to CoinMarket Cap.
The rise of cryptos also means good news for blockchain industries, and now they may see increased interest amidst the rally. Cardano (ADA) founder Charles Hoskinson said that blockchain technology could open up a plethora of opportunities that would transform the industry.
Hoskinson had said blockchain technology would create a situation where all the government’s tax revenue is open source, making it easy for the public to see from where the government is making money and where it is going.
