Bitcoin Tops Chart Tracking Massive Gains Since Crypto Listings, Plus Ripple and XRP, Ethereum, Litecoin, Tron, Stellar

‎‎‎ ‏‏‎

From a look at Bitcoin’s big returns to a hiring spree at Ripple, here’s a look at some of the stories breaking in the world of crypto.

Bitcoin

Crypto data analytics platform DataLight shows just how much a $100 investment in a newly listed coin is worth today. Bitcoin tops the list at $1.3 million, followed by Ethereum at $68,305 and Dash at $39,610. While commentators on reddit/Crypto remark that the smooth graphs may have been more accurately presented as a table, given crypto’s notoriously bumpy price action, the data shows Bitcoin’s strong performance since its inception.

ROI Since Exchange Listing

Despite Bitcoin’s chart-topping moves, Binance Coin grabs first place as the biggest gainer so far this year.

According to data compiled by CoinTimeMachine, Binance Coin tops the charts for the top 10 cryptocurrencies, up 149% year-to-date at time of publishing, followed by Litecoin, EOS, Tron, Cardano and Bitcoin.

Ethereum

The company behind MLB Crypto Baseball just released an overview of what’s in store for 2019. Lucid Sights teamed up with the Los Angeles Dodgers last year, giving fans tokenized MLB collectible figures that can be stored and traded on the Ethereum network. This year, the company is launching an overhaul of its game cards, introducing new gameplay features and more.

The team says the average price of the figures, which have a limited supply, has steadily increased over the last few months. The average MLBC figure now sells for $22, up $5 per figure since December.

Ripple and XRP

Ripple is looking for a new front end web developer. In total, the San Francisco-based startup now has 47 open positions including two jobs at Xpring, the company’s development arm focused on boosting the XRP ecosystem.

Litecoin

The author of the book “Understanding Litecoin” and chief operating officer of BlockFuse, Andrew Yang, just sat down for an interview with Crypto Capital Venture. The discussion focuses largely on the Bolt-A-Thon, an online conference and hackathon focused on the Lightning Network.

Stellar

The crypto-backed lending platform YouHodler has added support for Stellar (XLM). The company also offers US dollar and euro loans secured by collateral in Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Litecoin, EOS, Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin SV.

It's good that today we started supporting XLM for you YouHodlers!

Tron

Tron CEO Justin Sun is assuring his followers that an earlier tweet about a $20 million cash and Tesla giveaway is legit. Apparently, some people thought his Twitter account was hacked.

My earlier tweet wasn't a hack. 😂#Tronics appreciation is always real! #Tesla will be on its way to a lucky winner! #TRON #TRX #BTT #BitTorrent https://t.co/jCAvL0V7WP
