+title: "DASH PASSES $1 BILLION MARKET CAP"

+Dash has surged in price, momentarily passing a $1 billion market cap.
+
+Beginning the day at around $97 per coin, Dash experienced a price spike growing to a price of $146 and a market cap of over $1 billion over the next six hours. Since then the price has experienced minor corrections, but remains close to $1 billion in total for the coin. This increase is reminiscent of the February-March surge from about $16 to about $117 over the course of about six weeks.
+
+Price surge may have been triggered by Bitcoin scaling rumors
+
+The strong price rally for Dash includes mirrors similar increases across the cryptocurrency spectrum. Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, Monero, and Dogecoin all rose by 20-33% over the past 24 hours. Zcash in particular rose by over 100%. This across the board rise could be attributed to Bitcoin’s similar 10% rise, possibly triggered by rumors that a scaling agreement had been reached, hinting at an end to the deadlock plaguing Bitcoin and resulting in high fees and slow confirmations.
+
+Dash’s rise could be the result of a general rise in cryptocurrency, and could also be attributed to certain Bitcoin users seeking an alternative. The rumors regarding the scaling solution reached indicate Segregated Witness (SegWit) would be implemented, and a large contingent of the Bitcoin community views SegWit and off-chain scaling solutions negatively. On-chain scaling supporters would logically flock to Dash.
+
+Dash has had an incredible year
+
+2017 has been a very kind year to Dash. The coin started the year at around $11 with a market cap of around $78 million. Since then, the price has grown over tenfold and the market cap has grown by even more. More importantly, Dash has scored a series of business integrations, most notable of them being with BlockCypher, which will ensure the cryptocurrency reaches wider adoption during the rest of the year.

+title: "The Billion Dollar Market Cap Club Now Includes Seven Different Cryptocurrencies"

+The bigger question is whether or not we will see a top 10 of billion dollar crypto market caps soon.
+
+The cryptocurrency ecosystem has seen substantial growth these past few weeks. With the overall market cap rising to US$87.3bn, things are looking very good. More importantly, there are seven different billion dollar market cap currencies right now. It is possible we will add at least one more before the month of May is over. Things are finally coming together for cryptocurrency as a whole.
+
+The Billion Dollar Market Cap Club
+
+It is good to see so many currencies pass the illuster US$1bn market cap mark. For the longest time, only Bitcoin seemed capable of achieving such a feat. That is only normal, as it remains the world’s leading cryptocurrency. Things have changed quite a bit recently, though, as new players have emerged.  More specifically, no one expected Ripple‘s XRP and New Economy Movement to be part of the billion dollar market cap club.
+
+Other currencies in this club include Ethereum and Litecoin, which are no surprises. Dash successfully surpasses the threshold as well. Dash has seen strong momentum for quite some time now. As of right now, one coin is worth US$153.24. Not too long ago, that value was less than one-third of the current price. Perseverance pays off for cryptocurrency enthusiasts. A firm belief in a coin and its future will eventually result in a proper reward.
+
+Interestingly enough, Ethereum Classic snuck into the billion dollar club as well. The ETC market cap has grown quite a bit over the past 48 hours. At this rate, ETC may soon overtake Litecoin. It is a bit strange to see Litecoin in fifth position based on market cap right now, though. For some reason, the recent positive news for Litecoin is not resulting in the spectacular price growth some experts had predicted. Then again, good things may still come for Litecoin in the future.
+
+The bigger question is whether or not we will see a top 10 of billion dollar crypto market caps soon. A few currencies are slowly making their way there, though. Monero is well underway, although its growth is slower and steady. Bytecoin is not too far behind, although it has a much larger coin supply. Steller, Dogecoin, and Zcash can all still make it to the US$1bn mark as well in the coming weeks. These are by far the most exciting times to be involved in cryptocurrency.
