BTC + ETH Weekend Moves, BTC Dominance Drops
Cryptocurrencies made a spectacular entrance into September, with a rising tide for all coins. Bitcoin has once again breached $50,000, for the second time in two weeks, and is now trading at $51,753. ETH was not left behind. It has climbed 24% in the last seven days to trade as high as $3,979.
Bitcoin dominance has fallen significantly, signalling the dawn of the altcoin season. Other altcoins like Ethereum, Cardano, Binance Coin, and Tether have seen their market dominance rise recently.
