As Bitcoin (BTC) price struggles to reach $100k, the altcoin industry, excluding Ethereum (ETH), has been gaining bullish momentum in the past few weeks. The rise of Ripple Labs-backed XRP to the third most valuable cryptocurrency by market cap has reminded investors of the high volatility in the altcoin space.
Already, the TOTAL3, which tracks the altcoin’s market cap excluding Ether, has retested its all-time high of about $1.1 trillion. Consequently, more retail and whale investors have been rushing to mid and small-cap altcoins with great bullish potential for higher returns.
