Monero keeps rising ahead of fork, now 9th largest coin by market cap

Monero is now the 9th largest coin according to coinmarketcap, jumping ahead of Dash, IOTA and EOS.

The Monero hardfork is coming up, resulting in a huge jump in Moneros value. Three days ago I wrote a post on Monero jumping ahead of Dash, another privacy coin. Since then, XMR's value has gone from $315 to its current $362.

If this rise continues, its possible for Monero to bypass Stellar in the coming week as well. But the question everybody keeps asking is; Will Moneros value correct itself after the hard fork, or will it stay in the top 10?

In related news there is also upcoming Ledger support for Monero. While I dont understand much of the github link, you can read more about it on this reddit post.

Where do you think(or hope) to see Monero after the fork? Should Monero stay in the top 10? Dont forget to comment and upvote!
