The crypto market starts today, June 27, 2018, below the barrier of 250 billion dollars, after having managed to overcome it a couple of days ago with a steep rise of 8% in its capitalization. Its value at the time of writing is $ 246 billion.

Yesterday, the capitalization of the global cryptocurrency market experienced a 5% drop, from 256 to 242 billion dollars. Shortly after noon (UTC -4: 00) there is also a significant drop in the volume of transactions , which ranges from 16 to 10 billion dollars, that is, 37%. Although at the time of writing this article shows a slight escalation in this average, as shown in the graph below:
