The cryptocurrency market plummeted after US President Donald Trump threatened to raise tariffs on China to 100% on Friday.
While Bitcoin and the majority of altcoins turned red, many altcoins, especially among the top 100 altcoins, lost more than 40% of their value in the last hour, attracting attention.
As the cryptocurrency world tries to leave the great crash that occurred on Friday behind, Bitcoin (BTC) and altcoins have begun to recover.
While Bitcoin surpassed $115,000 and Ethereum surpassed $4,100, Binance Coin (BNB), which stood out with its strong performance during the recent decline, made a name for itself again.
BNB is on the rise again!
BNB, which broke records in succession in the past weeks and reached a new ATH by exceeding $1,300, has now surpassed $1,300 again.
Trading at $1,330, BNB has also surpassed Tether (USDT), the largest stablecoin, in terms of market capitalization.
BNB is currently the third largest cryptocurrency in the market, just behind Bitcoin and Ethereum, with a value of $185 billion.
USDT became the fourth largest cryptocurrency with a market capitalization of $179 billion.
While many altcoins are still struggling to reach their pre-drop levels, BNB has surpassed those levels with a 15.7% surge in the last 24 hours.
