Elrond is the best performer amongst the top 50 cryptocurrencies by market cap and could cross the $60 mark soon.
EGLD, the native coin of the Elrond blockchain, is the best performer amongst the top 50 cryptocurrencies by market cap. EGLD has added more than 8% to its value in the last 24 hours, outperforming the broader market.
The rally comes as the broader crypto market recovers from yesterday’s slump. The total crypto market cap is closing in on $950 billion after surging by more than 2% in the last few hours.
Bitcoin maintains its position as the leading cryptocurrency and is currently trading at $19,626, up by 2.7% in the last 24 hours.
Ether is also up by more than 3% so far today and is trading above $1,300 for the first time in nearly a week.
EGLD’s rally comes after the Elrond founder and CEO Beniamin Mincu announced a new mainnet upgrade.
