These increases in ETH and XLM volume today are down to these altcoins surging in price; Ethereum has reached a new all-time high above the $4,100 level, as U.Today covered earlier.

As for the 13th currency, Stellar Lumens (XLM), it has surged to the highest level last seen back in early January 2018: $0.74, according to data shared by CoinMarketCap.

XLM reached an ATH of $0.90 back on January 4, 2018.
