Ethereum [ETH] Price Watch

Constantinople, the planned hardfork of the ethereum network set to activate this week has done little to spur the ETH market. Going into the upgrade, Ethereum’s native token Ether lost more than 5 percent of its value since yesterday now valued at $119. Its total market cap is just over $12.4 billion, still lower than Ripple’s XRP which stands above $13 billion.

ETH might still rally close to launch of Constantinople or after it is successfully activated tomorrow. There’s no reason to believe it will not succeed after it was delayed from last year.

TRON [TRX] Price Watch

Tron is the surprise element in the crypto markets today as it grew rapidly in a few hours to reach 0.247 from 0.212 where it closed yesterday. Thus far, the cryptocurrency rose over 8 percent in a short while. This rise starkly contrasts the state of cryptocurrency markets which seems to have entered another bear trend.

The increase corresponds with a rise in 24-hour trading volume from $170 million to $348 million in 24 hours. This comes mostly from Binance crypto exchange which accounted for about 25 percent of the trades and UpBit with just under 14 percent of the transactions.

There is no telling if the rise is sustainable or if the gains will be wiped by a sharp downward correction.

Also, the reason for this spike is still not clear although the positive news of BitTorrent’s Token [BTT] have been all over the place. As Smartereum reported, CEO of Tron Justin Sun announced the BTT

He declared:

“TRON Foundation and BitTorrent Foundation are introducing a new cryptographic token called BTT along with an extended version of the BitTorrent protocol in order to create a token-based economy around the usage of networking, bandwidth and storage on hundreds of millions of computers on the internet.”
