Monday, Feb. 26: the crypto markets are rising back up today, with all of the top ten coins listed on CoinMarketCap in the green.

Total market cap is up to around $450 bln, neither a high nor low of this week, which had seen numbers above $500 bln and close to $430 bln.

Bitcoin (BTC) has broken $10,000 again, trading at around $10,342.40 and up 9 percent over a 24-hour period by press time.

Ethereum (ETH) is as well far away from the $800 mark today, which it had for a short time plummeted below earlier this week. ETH is up almost 6 percent, trading at around $874.24 by press time.

Today’s biggest winner is altcoin NEO, which is up more than 15 percent, trading at around $133.77 by press time. NEO’s gains could be attributed to Binance’s announcement earlier today that they will support the NEO Council’s impending Ontology (ONT) Airdrop to NEO holders.
