Post a bad start to the week, the cryptocurrency market is showing a modest recovery today with all of the top 20 cryptocurrencies in green.
The overall state of the cryptocurrency market seems to be in a good health today, March 6. Over the last 24 hours, the crypto market has added $6 billion to its overall market cap valuations. All of the top twenty digital currencies are currently in green with EOS and Litecoin showing double-digit percentage gains.
Bitcoin (BTC), which continues to dominate the crypto space shows a modest 3% gains. At the press time, Bitcoin is trading at $3903 with a market cap of $68.5 billion.

On the other hand, Ethereum (ETH) has shown a significant 7.3% surge today. At the press time, Ethereum (ETH) is trading at $138.94 with a market cap of $14.7 billion. Just like Bitcoin, Ethereum too is making up for its Monday loses. Also, the cryptocurrency continues to maintain its second position.
The jump in the Ethereum price comes just at a time when Switzerland’s SIX stock exchange announced the launch of the Ethereum exchange-traded product (ETP). The Swiss stock exchange has launched this product in partnership with the Swiss crypto startup Anum AG.
In the top five list, XRP has the least percentage gains today. At the press time, XRP shows 2% gains trading at $0.31 with a market cap of $13.01 billion.

EOS is strongly occupying its number 4 rank in terms of market cap. Also, the EOS market cap stands at $3.8 billion.
Over the last month, EOS has registered a massive 50% price surge. This Ethereum competitor has successfully ousted Bitcoin Cash from the top five and has been enjoying its number 4 position for quite some time now.
On the other hand, Litecoin (LTC) is not willing to give up the chase. At the press time, Litecoin is trading at $55.72, after a 16% price surge in the last 24-hours.

On Wednesday, March 5, Tron announced an important partnership with Tether to launch the USDT stablecoin with TRC20 compatibility on the Tron blockchain network ahead in Q2 2019.
