Cryptos are up across the board. EOS has jumped 14%. BCH is up close to 9%. Maker has risen 13%. While OmiseGo has gained close to 20%.
Combined trading volumes have spiked to near all time highs at $33 billion, a figure not seen since the bulls heydays of 2017.
Ethereum, in particular, has done something rare for months, handling $5 billion in the past 24 hours. USDT dominates, so we can’t see where these volumes are coming from, but we suspect China as it appears Chinese exchanges are making a comeback.
