The total cryptocurrency market capitalization is slowly climbing towards $2.4 trillion as we progress towards the end of Q3 2021. Week 35 has been all about smart contract blockchains since Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Polkadot (DOT) and even oracle provider ChainLink (LINK) all posted weekly gains of over 20%. Even though Bitcoin did climb up a few percent as well and is approaching a market cap of $1 billion, BTC dominance is still declining and will likely soon reach 40% if the downward trend continues. While it may not be enough to call it “altcoin season” just yet, the past month was, for sure, an “altcoin month”. It is therefore not surprising, that our Top 3 Coins to Watch article focuses on altcoins for the third week in a row.
