The Crypto Market Shuffles Top RankingsWhile Bitcoin, Ripple XRP and Ethereum continued to be the top 3 coins in the market, their market capitalization was severely impacted because of the new trading lows. Stellar is now the fourth largest cryptocurrency in the world as Bitcoin Cash ABC went into a freefall. Stellar is followed by Tether, Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin SV, EOS, Litecoin, and Tron. The market value of Tron has fallen below $1 billion. EOS is the biggest loser amongst the top 10 coins at press time, having fallen by 21.58% in the past 24 hours.
Interestingly, Bitcoin SV registered an 11.24% gain while all other currencies were bleeding.
No respite for traders in the market as the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has updated on Thursday that it has delayed the decision on the VanEck-SolidX ETF offering until February 29, 2019.
