Cryptocurrency Market Cap Surpasses $300 Billion Value- Unkrypted

by Ricky Makan Co-Founder at Unkrypted

For the first time ever as two of the biggest cryptocurrencies eyed significant milestones and the market for digital coins broke $300 billion.

According to data from CoinMarketCap.com, the market capitalization for all cryptocurrencies is currently at approximately $300.5bn. Of that amount, bitcoin’s market capital represents the lion’s share, accounting for about $158 billion.

The largest crypto-currency Bitcoin, with a market cap above $150 billion, has surpassed 10000 milestones.

The thrust above $300 billion perhaps also showcases the rate at which the marketplace has increased in recent weeks. On Nov. 3rd, for the first time, the whole marketplace capitalization rose above $200 billion. By contrast, the Cryptocurrency market crossed the $100 billion level back in June. Other Cryptocurrency market developments contributed to today’s market capitalization highlight, additional data discloses.

The world’s second-largest cryptocurrency, ethereum, has a press-time marketplace capitalization of $46 billion and at present trading at about $475, representing a price increase of more than 25% in the past week. Like bitcoin, ethereum also hit a new all-time high over the weekend.

Visa Vs Cryptocurrency Market by Statistics

The marketplace evaluation of all of the cryptocurrencies has exceeded the market capital by $30 billion of leading monetary service provider Visa.

During the time of reporting, the marketplace capital of Visa remains just above $254 billion, whereas the marketplace assessment of the complete cryptocurrency market is $300 billion.

In 2016 the yearly report given by Visa gives the information that the Visa network processes approximately $5.8 trillion value of transactions per year, mainly from the 3.1 billion visa debit and a credit card issued internationally. In 2016 more than 83.2 billion transactions were settled on the Visa network.

In comparison to the crypto-currency market resolves considerably less transactions on a regular basis. The Ethereum system resolves additional transactions than other cryptocurrencies in the market, and the whole cryptocurrency marketplace processes approximately one million transactions per day i.e 30 million transactions per month and approximately 360 million transactions per year.

While the core developers of public Blockchain networks such as bitcoin and Ethereum are working on the expansion and employment of second-layer payment networks. The utilization of second-layer payment paths like Lightning and Plasma will facilitate cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and bitcoin to stay as a protected store of values, while payment way functions like the Visa network is introduced on top of the cryptocurrencies.

The international cryptocurrency exchange marketplace processes $3.6 trillion in trade on a yearly basis, which is close to the amount of the Visa network. It is logical to contrast the trading amount of cryptocurrencies to the Visa network because both markets handle trades among hundreds of digital and government-issued physical currencies.
