BTC and ETH are still in the top 5 trending cryptocurrencies list on a 24-hour chart. CHEX and BOUNTY are new entrants, filling the gap between Bitcoin tokens and Ether. However, Ethereum tokens are expected to reclaim the 2nd spot if its 3-month price projection stands true.

A 24-hour list by CoinMarketCap of top trending cryptocurrencies shows BTC at the top and ETH in the 4th position. Their respective prices are $92,057.52 and $3,220.52. For a quick reference, CMC reportedly drafts the list based on the visibility and use activity on its platform. This includes activities like engagement and viewership by general users and investors.

CHEX and BOUNTY on the List

Chintai (CHEX) ranks 2nd on the list, and Chainbounty (BOUNTY) ranks 3rd, with significant gains in their 24-hour trading volume. BOUNTY’s gain stands at 37,089.78% for over $130.25 million. The volume of CHEX, on the other hand, surged by 151.80% to $1.68 million.

The impact of being in the said position is reflected on their token values. For instance, CHEX is listed at $0.06975, up by 42.85% over the last 24 hours. Similarly, BOUNTY has surged by 90.86% to $0.04009 during the same timeline.

That said, it is important to note that positions are subject to change based on several activities. Crypto traders and investors are recommended to research and assess risk in advance.

ETH to Reclaim its Spot?

It is anticipated that ETH could reclaim the second position on the list. This is based on the 3-month projection which forecasts a maximum gain of 80.79% – taking the trading value to around $5,898.71 amid the medium volatility of approximately 3.85%. However, ETH could also reclaim the position earlier.

The closest ETH price prediction has forecast a monthly growth of 11.91% to $3,651.35. The token is testing critical support and resistance levels of $3,120.92 and $3,334.00, applicable in the same order.

XRP Ledger Upgrade Progress Puts $3.06 Resistance in Focus

The post XRP Ledger Upgrade Progress Puts $3.06 Resistance in Focus appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. XRPL Hub upgrade enhances validator connectivity and reliability for institutions XRP price trends show cautious optimism with resistance near $3.06 and support at $2.98 Technical indicators signal mild momentum as RSI holds neutral and MACD shows gains Chief Technology Officer David Schwartz has shared a fresh update on the ongoing XRP Ledger (XRPL) upgrade.  In a tweet on X today, he said “It’s going awesome!
