Ripple (-0.6%), Cardano (-2.6%), Polkadot (-2.3%), Uniswap (-2.6%), and Litecoin (-1%) are also in the red. In contrast, Chainlink (4.5%) and Dogecoin (5.5%) have added the most value from the larger-cap altcoins. Consequently, LINK trades above $40 while DOGE is at $0.38.

Ethereum is also in the green with a 2% increase on a 24-hour scale. ETH came just $40 away from tapping another milestone yesterday at $3,000.
