Ethereum Captures Fresh Price Highs, ‘Flippening’ Begins to Trend
Ethereum (ETH) reached a new ATH this Monday, tapping $4,246 per ether. ETH is up over 6% during the last 24 hours and 21.9% over the course of the week. Against bitcoin (BTC), ETH is up 19% during the course of the last seven days. 30-day stats shows ETH is up 96% and 90-day data shows ether is up 136%.
Ethereum’s price rise has been dragging bitcoin’s (BTC) leading dominance down a great deal, as BTC only commands 43% today. ETH dominance is 19.6% and it’s been rising higher as each day passes. Data shows that reported volume for ETH is around $54.7 billion, while “real volume” stats from Messari indicates volume could be around $12.2 billion.
Since ETH dominance has risen significantly, crypto enthusiasts believe the crypto-asset could possibly flip BTC. The term “flippening” is trending on Twitter and a number of people are assessing the possibility of ETH dominating BTC.
“Maxis catching up on reality,” one person tweeted on Monday. “We are now just a little over 2x away. The flippening might indeed take a lot less than 5 years,” he added.
