Both Ripple and Stellar are up, along with many more.
The week is starting with mostly gains across the board, following readjustments over the weekend. These are the top 10 coins with the largest gains in the last 24 hours at the time of writing, according to CoinMarketCap, of the top 100 coins by market cap.
1. TenX – up 14.5%

2. Dragonchain – up 14.4%
A for-business blockchain platform, designed to let companies easily customise their own ready-to-go blockchain solutions which can interface with both legacy systems and public blockchains.
3. Ripple – up 10.3%
The third biggest gainer at the time of writing and the third largest cryptocurrency by market cap overall. Ripple was created specifically for use as a settlement layer in international money transfers, with a focus on uptake by banks, remittance companies and businesses that need international payment systems.
4. Cindicator – up 10%
