<p>Going by the figures the market is churning out, newly-split Ethereum Classic is likely to be third on the list of the world’s top cryptocurrencies just behind Bitcoin and Ethereum by tomorrow.According to <a href="http://coinmarketcap.com/" rel="noopener">C</a><a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/" rel="noopener">oinmarketcap</a> who do cryptocurrency market capitalizations, ETC is on the fourth spot as at the time of this publication. It has a market cap of over $ 213 million and a 24-hour trading volume of $90 million. That is about a $6 million shy of the market cap of the third spot holder <a href="https://steem.io/" rel="noopener">Steem</a> which currently has $219 million. A downside to Steem’s current status is its 24-hour trading volume which stands at around $651,520.</p>
<h2>24-hour percentage change</h2>
<p>Another factor which could work in ETC’s favour in the next day or so is its 24-hour percentage change. At the time of writing, ETC is the only cryptocurrency among the top ten list with a positive +19.13% % Change (24h). Others, including Steem which has a negative -5.54%, are in the red.     ETC started being traded on <a href="https://poloniex.com/" rel="noopener">Poloniex</a>, one of the biggest Altcoin exchanges, almost immediately after its split from ETH following a hard fork on the platform. Afterwards, it was actively traded on a number of other exchanges. About a day ago, a major Chinese ETH exchange started listing ETC.</p>
