Ethereum follows Bitcoin, crosses the $3k mark.
Ethereum (ETH), the second largest cryptocurrency after bitcoin, follows the bullish trend of the crypto market.

Many investors see ETH as a better investment than BTC, especially in the long run. Ethereum is a general purpose blockchain, and ETH is the native token of the blockchain network. The network offers a number of different benefits, including faster transactions. However, no one expects ETH to take over as the market leader anytime soon.
Binance Coin takes a big step forward.
The current bullish run of the crypto market has helped most of the top cryptocurrencies, including Binance Coin (BNB), to get the push they needed. As the native token for an extremely popular exchange platform, Binance Coin has several uses cases.
