Earlier today, XTZ left the top 10 list before reclaiming the 10th spot again. However, the fight for this position is intense: market capitalization of XTZ stands at almost USD 893 million, while Tron (TRX) reached USD 891.8 million and Stellar (XLM) – USD 890 million.

XTZ price chart:

With no specific fundamentals to support the decline, XTZ is likely correcting after last year’s rally, when its prices more than doubled. The coin traded at c. USD 0.47 at the beginning of 2019 and ended it at more than USD 1.3 per coin, outperforming Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and many other major coins.

At the end of 2019, Tezos had multiple positive news to share with the market, including new staking opportunities at the major cryptocurrency exchanges such as Coinbase, Binance, OKex, and Kraken.

Meanwhile, this past Tuesday, the Tezos Foundation said they have exceeded their goal to bring 1,000 new developers into the Tezos ecosystem by training 1,300 developers.
