The bullish trend in the cryptocurrency market is tolling a remarkable route in the month of August. For the first time since May, the industry is recording a total market cap that is almost $2 trillion.<\/p>\n
The data from CoinGecko<\/a>, a crypto data aggregator, indicates that the total crypto market value crosses $1.9 trillion a few days ago. This was after the market hit the mark since May 18.<\/p>\n Related Reading |\u00a0Coinbase Removes USD Coin (USDC)\u201d Backed By Dollar\u201d Statement<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n From July 19, the entire crypto market experienced a considerable surge that pushes the total market value to about $700 billion. Nevertheless, the market is yet to attain its all-time high as of May 11. The value shows a deficit of about $700 billion from its peak of $2.5 trillion.<\/p>\n In the recent recovery trend in the industry, prominent digital assets such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) are not left out. As a result, these cryptocurrencies have explored their mid-May market cap levels again.<\/p>\n As of Monday, Bitcoin records a market value of over $860 billion. CoinGecko reveals that it’s the first time since May 16 for BTC to hit such a limit. The cryptocurrency experienced a main sell-off earlier in the year. This was after Bitcoin became a $1 trillion asset.<\/p>\n However, the sell-off triggered the plummeting of the market cap to $560 billion by July 20. The recent rebounce of the BTC price over $45,000 brought over a 53% increase to its market value.<\/p>\n Similarly, the global second-largest digital asset by market cap, Ether, is not left out. The cryptocurrency accrued more gains in July since the bear market. The asset had almost an 81% increase from its July 20th<\/sup> value of\u00a0 $204 billion to $369 billion.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n On Thursday, the digital asset passed through a prominent network upgrade. The Ether price moved by 50% in response to the London hard fork. This displays investors’ anticipation of getting solutions to Ethereum\u2019s high transaction fees through the upgrade.<\/p>\n Though the crypto market experienced a recent positive turning, some key cryptocurrencies somersaulted in their market cap value.<\/p>\n For instance, Binance USD (BUSD), a top-ranking stablecoin by market value after Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC), had a drop.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n As listed on Thursday, BUSD couldn’t make it among the top 10 most-valued digital assets. UNI, Uniswap\u2019s governance token, dethroned BUSD from the list. This left BUSD as the 11th-largest cryptocurrency with a market cap of $12 billion.<\/p>\nOther Cryptocurrency Assets Reacting To The New Market Trend<\/strong><\/h2>\n
