The 10 Most Popular Cryptocurrencies in October — buidlbee ranking

October broke every imaginable and unimaginable record for hacker activity on the crypto market and probably will go down in history as a month of hacker domination. This could not but affect digital assets in general and, in particular, one of the leading indicators, market capitalization. New month, new data. Let’s look at what is going on with cryptocurrencies now. 

We wrote about what the market capitalization of cryptocurrencies is here. So, if you already know this indicator or have read our explanation article, let’s look at the top cryptocurrencies by market capitalization for 30 days, and how their value has changed over the past month. We gathered all the data from CoinMarketCap.

#1 Bitcoin

Market cap — $375.93B ($380.92B at the beginning of September)

There is nothing new here. Bitcoin, as always, ranks first in market capitalization. The Satoshi coin is trading at $19.65K at the time of writing, with a 24-hour trading volume of ~$50B. In the last 24 hours, the value of BTC rose by 3,44%, but in the previous week, the asset fell by 1.68%, again breaking through the $20K mark. Users are now wondering how the currency will behave next: will it fall even more, to $14K and lower, or will it go back up?

#2 Ethereum
