Total Cryptocurrency market Cap continues to surge
The total cryptocurrency market capitalization has increased to $200 billion in November from the $40 billion at the beginning of 2017. The rapid growth in the cryptocurrency market value is due to the surges in the price of digital currencies, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash and Ripple.
According to data from CoinMarketCap, Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency by market cap, is up over 600 percent this year. It is now trading at $7186.98. Another digital currency, Ethereum rose 3.83 percent to $325.53 on Thursday, bringing its year-to-date increases to nearly 4000 percent.
Increasing interests in the digital currencies for both individual and institution investors have also boosted the market. In October, CME announced that it will launch bitcoin future products. Recently, New York-based VanEck announced to partner with U.K. firm Cryptocompare to offer cryptocurrency indices.
According to CoinDesk, Thomas Kettner, managing director for MVIS, said in a statement: “Digital assets are a dynamic area that merits attention, especially by professional investor. Although not without risks, digital assets have the potential to integrate into the broad economy and become an investable asset class in their own right.”
