Among the top ten cryptocurrencies on CoinMarketCap, Stellar (XLM) and IOTA (MIOTA) are up the most on the day, seeing over 7 and almost 5 percent growth respectively.

Other than stablecoin Tether, Cardano (ADA) is seeing the least 24-hour growth of the top ten coins, up only 1.53 percent. Cardona is however seeing major growth on the week, boasting a whopping 23 percent price increase.

Yesterday, July 20, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) reported that BTC futures daily average volume has increased by 93 percent in Q2 over Q1. The number of open contracts on Bitcoin futures also increased by 58 percent.

This week’s crypto market growth got further encouragement yesterday, July 20, when the CEO of crypto trading platform BitMEX suggested Bitcoin’s current bull run may give way to a price point of $5,000 before heading to $50,000 in 2018.
