The weekend has seen marginal gains for most crypto assets as total market capitalization claws back above $200 billion. Tezos has been the clear leader in terms of performance though as it tops $1 billion market cap and closes in on a top ten position.<\/p>\n

Tezos Outperforming Crypto Markets<\/h2>\n

The good news is that there has been no big crypto dump over the weekend and most digital currencies have ground slightly higher. Bitcoin has continued consolidating<\/a> as it pushes above $7,500 while the altcoins get dragged along with it. Only one has made any real progress over the past couple of days.<\/p>\n

Tezos has just flipped Cardano as its market capitalization topped a billion dollars for the third time this year. Starting the weekend priced around $1.30 XTZ surged to hit an intraday high of $1.65 a couple of hours ago. The move equates to 27% over just two days making this altcoin the top performer by a large margin.<\/p>\n

Daily volume for XTZ cranked from under $40 million to almost $70 million with Binance and OKEx taking the majority of the trade, followed by Coinbase Pro. Since the beginning of the year Tezos has made a whopping 250%, outperforming Bitcoin itself and most of the other altcoins which have dumped all of their 2019 gains.<\/p>\n

The move was not lost on project supporters such as Kevin Mehrabi.<\/p>\n
