Ethereum rallies

If we look at the biggest cryptocurrencies, ethereum (+10,44%) is the one that by far has performed the best. Exactly what the increase is due to is, as usual, hard to say, but many speculate that it has to do with the upcoming “fork” (when a cryptocurrency divides or is updated) which is named Constantinople and which is scheduled to take place at the end of the month.

Ethereum is currently trading at $137, which is over ten dollars more than yesterday.

Also eos (+3,45%), xrp (+2,88%), bitcoin (+2,85%) and litecoin (+1,07%) show green numbers in the last 24 hours.

Bitcoin is up $100

The world’s biggest cryptocurrency bitcoin is currently trading at $3,749, which is around $100 higher than yesterday.
