On Dec. 31, Ethereum's development team launched the test network for Casper, a significant upgrade for Ethereum which is currently in alpha stage. Additionally, the entire cryptocurrency market has been extremely bullish in the past couple of weeks; the current market cap of all cryptocurrencies put together is at a record $767 billion. Ethereum recently lost its long-held place as the second-largest cryptocurrency to Ripple, which has had an absolutely incredible rally that started on Dec 12: From about $0.25 to the current price of $3.70 per XRP, and a market cap of $144.6 billion.

The largest cryptocurrency out there is still Bitcoin, with a price of $15,027 and a market cap of $252.2 billion at time of writing. Its price dropped 1.17 percent in the last 24 hours.
