Bitcoin SV (BSV), the Craig Wright-supported hard fork of Bitcoin Cash (BCH), is seeing the most growth over the past 24 hours among the top 20 coins by market cap. BSV jumped almost 7 percent on the day, while weekly gains amount to almost 8 percent at press time.

After hitting $132.7 billion yesterday, total market capitalization of all cryptos has declined to $130.3 billion at press time, while daily trade volume has also fallen to around $28 billion from yesterday’s almost $33 billion.
