Bitcoin’s market dominance is surging while XRP's falls due to an SEC lawsuit.
The market dominance of Bitcoin today hit 68.49%—its highest figure all year.
Meanwhile, XRP, the fourth biggest cryptocurrency by market cap, stood at 2.26% in terms of market dominance.
XRP’s market dominance hasn’t been that low since 2017, according to CoinMarketCap data. And just one month ago, its dominance was over 5%.
Market dominance refers to the percentage a coin’s market cap accounts for the entire cryptocurrency market. It tells you a lot about how well a cryptocurrency is doing because if its market dominance is surging, it means investors are pumping money into the coin—or pulling out their investments in other coins.
Bitcoin has always had the biggest market dominance, followed by Ethereum, XRP and Tether, Litecoin or Bitcoin Cash.
This year, Tether (USDT) has been battling XRP's market dominance. Now, following XRP’s dip, it stands in third place at 3.2%.
Tether, the US dollar-pegged stablecoin, today hit close to $17 billion in market capitalization. This means that (hopefully), there are about $17 billion real US dollars sitting in a vault somewhere that investors have exchanged for Tether. According to Tether’s website, there are 16,991,893,171 Tethers in circulation, each representing $1. Tether claims that it holds $148 million in its vaults that have not been turned into circulating Tethers. #crypto $btc differences 2017 and now 2017; Chec...
Part of the increase in USDT’s market dominance is down to this year’s DeFi explosion; the stablecoin is frequently used on DeFi applications. USDT is also the biggest cryptocurrency by trading volume.
XRP’s depressing dip is down to the legal mess the cryptocurrency is currently in.
Ripple has spent 8 years working tirelessly to build an incredible company transforming global payments. Our mission doesn’t stop! Here’s what I sent to employees yesterday + our lawyers’ reaction to today’s SEC filing. https://t.co/wGHW4hCW2T

Yesterday, the US Securities and Exchange Commission filed a $1.3 billion lawsuit against Ripple Labs, the company associated with XRP, alleging the company had raised that amount in unregistered securities offerings since 2013.
Since then, three exchanges have stopped trading the cryptocurrency and the token’s price dropped.
At the time of writing, XRP’s price was down 34% in the past 24 hours—at $0.318, according to CoinMarketCap.
Its market cap also dropped—by over 30%—from $21.1 billion to $14.5 billion.
Bitcoin is winning, though: the cryptocurrency’s market cap today is over $438 billion, an increase of over $6 billion since yesterday.

The investment firm of famed tech investor Cathie Wood remains bullish on Bitcoin as its price has climbed back near its recently established all-time high of $111,814.

One notable sign that Bitcoin hype has...
Bitcoin Core developers have confirmed plans to remove long-standing data storage restrictions in the upcoming version 30 release, scheduled for October 30. The change essentially eliminates Bitcoin's current 80-byte limit on OP_RETURN outputs, which are special transaction fields that allow users to embed arbitrary data on the blockchain. Under the new rule, transactions can include multiple OP_RETURN outputs, each potentially containing up to 4MB of data. “Bitcoin Core is just one protocol imp...
