The price of XRP and Bitcoin was boosted over the weekend but the news was not so good for Binance Coin and others.
On Friday morning, market leader Bitcoin (BTC) was below $54,000. At the time of writing on Monday (7am UK), it had reached £56,300 to stand 18% up over seven days.
XRP went from $1.07 on Friday to $1.16, although it lost almost 2% in the last 24 hours. Ripple’s coin is 12% higher than at this point a week ago.
Binance Coin (BNB) dropped from $437 on Friday to $416 and is slightly down over seven days.
It has been overtaken by Cardano in the league table of coins by market capitalisation. The proof-of-stake platform’s ADA token, however, also fell over the last three days – from $2.27 to $2.22. It is 1% up on last Monday’s price.
