The cryptocurrency markets appear to be on an upswing today, July 2, after recovering slightly after last week saw Bitcoin dip below $6,000, twice.
Bitcoin is above $6,500, trading for around $6,599 by press time and up around 4 percent over a 24 hour period.
Ethereum is trading at around $470, up almost 6 percent over a 24 hour period by press time.
Of the top ten coins on Coinmarketcap, IOTA is up the most, 9 percent over a 24 hour period and trading at $1.13 by press time.
EOS is currently trading at $8.69, up about 8.5 percent over a 24 hour period to press time.
The EOS platform, which launched at the beginning of June after completing its year-long, $4 billion Initial Coin Offering, has been having governance problems due to the system's lack of centralized enforcement over their Block Producers.
Total market cap is at around $269 billion, up from last week's low of $232 billion.
