Bitcoin Hits $4,800 as Overall Cryptocurrency Market Cap Surpasses $176 Billion; RISE Rises Rapidly
Bitcoin has been booming the last couple weeks, slowing down for no man. Not only that, a multitude of projects are bringing in an enormous sum of new capital to the overarching cryptocurrency markets. Bitcoin dominance still sits around 45.2% and continues to reign dominance over all other cryptocurrency projects.
Bitshares is also making some noise with their recent promotions which can be seen via Twitter. The token currently has a 10% gain over the past 24-hours and momentum/promotions suggest this increase will keep coming.
Bitshares has continued building out a completely decentralized conglomerate of projects working together to offer a variety of services and products within the cryptocurrency industry.
Rise Project Rises With Massive Updates
Rise is another project that recently has the cryptocurrency community buzzing!
The Rise Leadership Team recently updated their community with a new website, mobile wallet application, and blockchain incubator.
The organization around their effort is truly bringing value to their cryptocurrency and ultimately strengthening their community and likelihood of creating a successful blockchain ecosystem. As you can see to the left, the team is doing a great job of explaining what type of improvements they are bringing to the table and have a huge focus on functionality.
Lack of organizational leadership is something the cryptocurrency community faces and has faced since the beginning — it’s not easy to bring together a decentralized network of peers, working together to create and gain value.
As you can see in the CoinMarketCap chart below, Rise has experienced quite rapid growth over the past 7-days which will likely continue through their development.
With a market capitalization of just $58 million, Rise is poised for growth as they implement the necessary organization to scale. This may be your only time to grab some of this resurrected project. Make sure you take a look at the exchange links at the end of this article to find new exchange solutions.
