Cardano reached USD $ 1, Ripple and Stellar continue to rise.

Ripple almost triples the price I had two weeks ago.

If the year 2018 continues as it begins, we could say that it is the year of the altcoins. And it is that other currencies and not especially Bitcoin are the ones that have shown higher price advances in the first days of the year.

The case of Cardano, a currency that was born recently and is already ranked 5th according to its capitalization market, is striking. When it is 9:00 am in New York, it has a price of USD $ 0.97, 26.20% more than yesterday, but beware! Just 3 hours ago it had reached the record of USD $ 1.01.

The currency, born in October 2017, remained until December with prices below USD $ 0.1. So, in less than a month, its price has skyrocketed 1000 times.

Cardano increasingly attracts the attention of investors for its scientific spirit. Today we also announce that your Blockchain will be used in educational projects, specifically in the verification of diplomas.

The airplanes

In Venezuela, when a person is fast-thinking, they say it's an airplane. That same comparison could be made with these two cryptocurrencies that have had an unexpected growth in recent weeks. Ripple and Stellar: both fly at high speed in 2018.

On the one hand Ripple exceeded the price of USD $ 1 on December 21, an event that was reviewed by Diario Bitcoin. Now not only exceeds that price, but almost triples. At this time it has a price of USD $ 2.78, 15.42% more than yesterday and 116.46% more than last week. The volume of operations in the last 24 hours exceeds USD $ 4 billion and therefore the capitalization market is more than USD $ 107 billion, approaching half of that of Bitcoin, which reaches 251 billion dollars . This is how Ripple gains dominance in the cryptocurrency market and now has the highest ever obtained: 15.28%.

And Stellar is also worthy of review. The cryptocurrency is ranked number 7 in the capital market with a price increase of 35.03% compared to yesterday and 241.76% higher than last week!

Nor should we lose sight of NEM, the currency that occupies position 8, which increased 19.16% more than yesterday and 39.59% more than last week.

On the other hand Bitcoin is in slight rise, of 8,68% with respect to the day of yesterday, but its present value is 5,02% inferior to Wednesday of the last week. Its price is USD $ 15,150.70.
