Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple Prices Continue to Soar
Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple prices continue to soar, with each digital currency hitting new all-time highs on Monday.
Bitcoin prices reached a new high of $6,600 on Monday morning, according to CoinMarketCap. Ethereum prices also reached a new all-time high of $490, and Litecoin prices topped $300 for the first time. Ripple prices also broke the $1 mark for the first time, reaching a value of $1.30.
These soaring prices reflect the growing popularity of digital currencies and the increasing demand for them from investors. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple are all decentralized networks that operate without a central authority, which makes them resistant to government interference and manipulation.
The increasing demand for digital currencies is also being fueled by growing fears that the global economy is entering a period of turbulence. The Trump administration has been critical of global trade agreements, which could lead to increased tariffs and other trade restrictions. This could lead to a decline in the global economy, which in turn would lead to increased demand for digital currencies.
Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple prices are still relatively low when compared to their all-time high values of late 2017 and early 2018. However, the continued growth of these digital currencies indicates that they are still very much in demand and will likely continue to rise in value over the long term.
XRP Remains the Top Crypto by Market Cap
Ripple continues to maintain its spot as the top cryptocurrency by market cap. The digital asset has seen a noticeable increase in value over the past few weeks, rising from $0.27 to $0.34.
Ripple’s market cap currently stands at $43.4 billion, ahead of Bitcoin Cash ($30.5 billion) and Ethereum ($25.2 billion). While Ripple has seen a significant increase in value over the past few weeks, it is still far behind Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Ripple’s current price surge may be attributed to the recent news that Japanese bank SBI Holdings plans to use Ripple’s xRapid platform to improve cross-border payments. xRapid is a Ripple product that allows for fast and low-cost transactions.
XRP remains one of the most promising cryptocurrencies out there, and its continued growth could lead to it becoming the dominant digital asset in the future.
Bitcoin Cash Jumps as Investors Seek Safety in Altcoins
Bitcoin Cash is up more than 5% on the day as investors seek safety in altcoins.
Ethereum Classic Jumps 5% on Coinbase Listing News
Ethereum Classic (ETC) jumped 5% on news that Coinbase is considering adding the digital asset to its trading platform.
Coinbase is one of the biggest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world. The addition of ETC would make it one of the most popular digital assets available on the platform.
ETC has been growing in popularity lately, partly due to the fact that it is not subject to the same restrictions as other cryptocurrencies. Ethereum Classic is a decentralized platform that runs on blockchain technology.
The jump in price follows news that Ethereum Classic has surpassed Litecoin in terms of market capitalization. Litecoin is currently worth $11 billion while Ethereum Classic is worth $12 billion.
Litecoin Jumps 10% as Investors Flee Bitcoin
Litecoin soared 10% Thursday as investors flee Bitcoin amid a sell-off of the largest digital currency.
Bitcoin fell more than 10% to $5,900 on the Bitfinex exchange Wednesday, its lowest level in more than three months.
Other digital currencies also lost value, with Ethereum down 7% and Ripple down 11%.
Bitcoin has been under pressure since early December, when South Korea announced plans to ban anonymous cryptocurrency trading.
Litecoin is based on the same code as Bitcoin but has a much smaller market cap.
Bitcoin Prices Slump 7% as China Clamps Down on Exchanges
Bitcoin prices slumped 7% as China clamped down on exchanges on Wednesday, as investors fretted about the future of the cryptocurrency amid a regulatory crackdown.
Bitcoin was trading at $6,564 on Bitfinex, one of the largest exchanges in the world, according to CoinMarketCap.com. It had been trading at around $6,900 just a day earlier.
The Chinese government has been increasingly critical of cryptocurrencies and has announced plans to shut down domestic exchanges and stop people from investing in them.
Bitcoin is a digital asset and a payment system invented by an unknown person or group of people under the name Satoshi Nakamoto. Transactions are verified by network nodes through cryptography and recorded in a public dispersed ledger called a blockchain. Bitcoin is unique in that there are a finite number of them: 21 million.
Ethereum Prices Plummet 13% on China Exchange News
Ethereum prices plummeted 13% on the Chinese exchange Huobi on Wednesday after a report claimed that the Chinese government was planning to crackdown on digital asset trading.
The report, published by the South China Morning Post, claimed that the Chinese government was planning to ban all cryptocurrency trading and Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs).
Ethereum prices fell below $300 on Huobi, with the cryptocurrency trading at $275 at press time.
However, a Huobi spokesperson denied the report, stating that they “cannot confirm the information mentioned.”
Ethereum prices have been volatile this year, with their value hitting an all-time high of over $1,400 in December. However, the cryptocurrency has since lost over 60% of its value.
Ripple Prices Crash 20% on SEC Concerns
Ripple prices crashed 20% on Tuesday after the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) raised concerns about the digital asset.
The SEC released a report on Monday night stating that cryptocurrencies and Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) may be securities, which could mean that they are subject to regulation.
Ripple prices fell from $0.92 to $0.77 on Tuesday morning, according to CoinMarketCap.
In a statement, Ripple denied that its XRP tokens were securities:
“Ripple believes that the digital asset XRP is not a security and does not constitute a security. We are committed to working with the SEC and other regulatory bodies to ensure that any digital assets we offer are properly registered and meet all legal requirements.”
However, the SEC warned that cryptocurrencies and ICOs may be subject to regulation and that investors should be careful.
“Investors should be aware that digital assets and tokens may be securities and that, under federal securities law, such investments may be subject to registration or other requirements. An investment in a digital asset or token may be ill-advised if the investor does not understand the risks.”
