That said, there was not much volatility on this day, like the day prior, either, with Tuesday only recording one double-digit percentage gainer and loser alike. The big winner of the day was Chiliz (CHZ), which went up 10%, while Tokenize Xchange (TKX) lost 11% in the same time period. The total marketcap of all cryptoassets, meanwhile, came down a tad bit to $876 billion.
