Crypto Market Cap Gains $4.5 Billion – EOS, Stellar, Litecoin, Cardano, Bitcoin, XRP Lead the Way

The crypto market is off to a quick start on Monday.

A sudden surge brought the overall market cap up more than 4%, rising from $104.4 billion to $108.9 billion, according to CoinMarketCap at time of publishing.

EOS is the biggest gainer, rising more than 11%. Here’s a look at the top 15 coins by market cap.

The surprise spike caught many off guard, including eToro’s crypto analyst Mati Greenspan.

According to the senior analyst, a correlation with a surge in USD volumes could indicate new money is coming into the market.
