After briefly falling below $29,500 yesterday night, Bitcoin surged over $1,000 this morning to recover the $30,000 mark. As of press time, evidence from several tools reveals the larger cryptocurrencies tracked that trend and surged by high single-digit percentages. Cardano is steadily pushing forward with its own expected smart contract implementation, while Ethereum is approaching a favorable fundamental trigger in the shape of the much-anticipated EIP-1559—the protocol's transition to a proof-of-stake consensus design.
