Solana and Avalanche lead the top of the month as the market turns red

During the course of this month, September 2021, the cryptocurrency market has shown a series of ups and downs. After starting the month with a significant recovery trend, during the last two weeks most altcoins have been trading in decline.

Amid these constant ups and downs, 5 cryptocurrencies stand out with a rising monthly average, according to Live Coin Watch statistics. Thus, the monthly top is headed by solana (SOL) , which reaches a new all-time high; and avalanche (AVAX) whose transactions grow by more than 500% in one month.

The cryptocurrencies of the month are completed with tezos (XTZ) , which implemented a new protocol update; and polkadot (DOT) , which brings decentralized finance (DeFi) to its platform through the Cream Finance project.

The price of bitcoin (BTC) has fallen around 9.9% so far this month. The price of the cryptocurrency ranged between USD 40,769 and USD 52,615, a maximum that reached on September 6.

The decline in the total value of the BTC market and the fall in the rest of The markets, observed in this last week, is attributed to the liquidity crisis of Evergrande, one of the largest real estate companies in China.

Another of the facts that Related to the price drop is a new statement from the People’s Bank of China, which occurred on September 24, by which prohibits all operations with cryptocurrencies.

Ether (ETH), Ethereum’s cryptocurrency, also lost value this month, with an average decline of 5.8%. Its price fluctuated between $ 2,759 and just over $ 3,950.

The decline in ETH may be related to the general market decline, although the Ethereum network has also continued to be affected by high gas rates. This, despite the implementation of a new commission scheme last August.

The rise in rates has to do with the rise in non-fungible tokens (NFT). As a solution to the problem, the co-founder of Ethereum, Vitalik Buterin, proposes to migrate the NFTs to a second layer.

Buterin suggests the creation of «rolled NFTs» or wrapped-NFT. These could be mobilized and traded between the different rollups of Ethereum.

As reported by CriptoNoticias, Solana suffered a stoppage that led to no blocks being mined for more than 8 hours. This caused the network to unintentionally fork due to a problem suffered by miners.
