What is the total market of Cryptocurrency worth right now? It may surprise some to hear that the market cap has exceeded the $420 billion level for the first time in seven weeks: the emerging coin market has increased at a robust pace over the previous two weeks driven by prompt growth in aLTCoin prices. The traders are attributing the bull-run to the end of tax season and increasing confidence in cryptocurrency markets.

Bitcoin (available on Coinbase) price rose almost 50% since the start of this month; expanding its market capitalization from $111 billion to $156 billion at present. ALTCoins, however, are outperforming Bitcoin (available on Coinbase) during the current bull-run.
