Illuvium, LCX and Tokemak hit new highs as Bitcoin dominance lingers

LCX, ILV, TOKE and at least 10 other altcoins hit new all-time highs alongside ETH today.

According to data from Messari, 31 tokens have established new record-highs in the past 24-hours and the total cryptocurrency market cap increased from $2.619 trillion to $2.732 trillion overnight.
