Despite incurring an initial 45% decrease in market value, and even without the heavy influence of $DASH, the top 40 masternode coins have enjoyed a relatively stable second half of the third quarter. Since mid-August, the masternode sector’s market capitalization has hovered between $625M and $450M. Aside from an initial spike at the end of August, volume has also been relatively stable ranging between $5M to $20M per day. Though many crypto-enthusiasts are interested in short-term volatility, there is likely a sizeable group who are more than content with having a sideways market that doesn't have the typical precipitous valuation drops or unexpected price ascents.
