The altcoins that made their owners smile from ear to ear made them cry last week

During the third week of April, there were some interesting changes in the top 10 altcoins in the cryptocurrency market cap rankings, with some altcoins falling out of the top 10. Litecoin Pushes Dash Litecoin and Dash are like a pair of old enemies, who have been fighting for the fourth place, one for me today, the other for you tomorrow. On four occasions, the two coins pushed each other to the fifth place, and the other fought back a few hours later and regained the fourth place again. However, Litecoin , which finally took the silver medal with a market cap of 180 million, ended the long war on a high note. Analysts confidently attributed this sudden gain to its prospects of activating SegWit. Its market price was $10.71 at the end of the second week of April, and jumped to $13.49 last Sunday night. At a roundtable meeting last Friday, Litecoin stakeholders decided to initiate a vote that is likely to activate SegWit. This cautious approach has resolved their hostility and prevented them from falling into the same situation as the cryptocurrency pioneer Bitcoin, without destroying Litecoin 's prospects.

(Please give the mining pools some time to vote. They have agreed to vote on SegWit and will give an answer soon. Please be patient.)

Monero and Ethereum Classic

(Monero and Ethereum Classic)

Ethereum Classic is on the rise, but Monero has become its victim. In fact, Monero suddenly lost the sixth place to Ethereum ’s younger brother Ethereum Classic last Friday, but Monero later took it back. On Sunday, ETC came back and snatched the position. Compared with the second week of the month, Ethereum Classic really had a good week. At the time of filing this report, it was up 23 percentage points. In fact, at the end of the second week, its price was still a pitiful $2.65, but it is currently priced at $3.96. Ethereum Classic’s current situation puts a smile on the face of every holder of it, and Cointelegraph will continue to monitor whether this trend continues. MaidSafeCoin PIVX suddenly appeared from nowhere and overthrew MaidSafeCoin from the tenth place. Most people witnessed the consequences of Dash taking the position and winning over the cryptocurrency elite last week. But MaidSafeCoin, the Scottish cryptocurrency, showed its usual resilience and knocked PIVX out of the tenth place and regained the throne last Thursday night. As of press time, PIVX is hovering at 14th place due to a tragic drop of 19.41%. As for whether it can recover to the top ten, perhaps only the guys in the top ten can give you the answer. But now MaidSafe has proved to you that it is not an easy coin to push. Last week was really an interesting week for the cryptocurrency market, and Cointelegraph is eager to update you on the latest developments.
