Walmart raised the cryptocurrency market capitalization above $2 trillion

On August 15, it became known that the U.S. corporation Walmart has decided to search for an employee with a focus on the cryptosphere – it was reported including one of the leading financial media in the United States, Marketwatch. The world’s leading retailer is reportedly “hiring a director to shape its cryptocurrency strategy.” In this effort, Walmart is following in the footsteps of Amazon, which is also interested in employees in the cryptosphere.

In Walmart’s case, it is talking about a “digital and cryptocurrency product manager” to develop the company’s digital asset roadmap. Note that the cryptocurrency market has surpassed the $2 trillion total capitalization level, with bitcoin’s dominance going down to 43.5%.

Indeed, while bitcoin even swung slightly down by 0.26% to $46,242,000 at the end of August 16, and Ethereum corrected by 0.15% to $3,196,000, 95% of other digital assets went in the plus. Thus, Dogecoin continued to move above the $0.3 mark, adding 2.4% overnight to reach $0.3286.
