The best performer is undoubtedly Stellar’s XLM, which surprised with a 23% explosion, so let’s dive in.

This comes on the back of news that Tesla didn’t sell its BTC holdings for a fourth consecutive quarter. The positive report seems to have alleviated some of the strain on the market, which bounced upwards. Bitcoin dominance currently sits at around 46.6%.
