This Week in Coins: Bitcoin Rally Cools and Solana Explodes

Illustration by Mitchell Preffer for Decrypt. Bitcoin’s fortnight long rally cooled off this week, but several of the biggest altcoins continued posting double digit percentage gains, including Ripple’s XRP, Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA). Entering the weekend, Bitcoin (BTC) grew by 2.7% over the last seven days to hit its current price of $34,802. Much of its price appreciation over the last two weeks was down to hype that an exchange-traded fund (ETF) would soon be approved stateside. Suff…

This Week in Coins: Chainlink Moons 44%, Leads Marketwide ETF Speculation Rally

Illustration by Mitchell Preffer for Decrypt. The last seven days were an exhilarating ride for holders of many leading cryptocurrencies, with multiple coins posting double-digit percentage gains by the start of the weekend. The marketwide rally began last week, when rumors and speculation that a Bitcoin spot ETF was about to be approved in the United States drove Bitcoin (BTC) to reclaim $30k, a level not previously seen since summer. The market leader enjoyed a wilder rally this week, rising…

This Week in Coins: War and Inflation Chill Crypto Investments

Illustration by Mitchell Preffer for Decrypt. Crypto is down this week, although Bitcoin and Ethereum proved more resilient than a few altcoins. Prices fell—but not by much—driven downward by a globe-rattling Israel–Palestine war and persistent inflation readings in the latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) report by the U.S. Bureau of Labour Statistics. Broadly, investors tend to switch to lower-risk assets in times of political and economic uncertainty. Narket leader Bitcoin (BTC), which capital…

This Week in Coins: ETF Hype Pumps Ethereum and Bitcoin as Chainlink and Bitcoin Cash Surge

Illustration by Mitchell Preffer for Decrypt. With each passing week, it’s getting easier to talk about crypto’s relative stability compared to its performance in recent history—even just a year ago. A cursory glance at some of the headlines of this column over the year reveals we’ve had more slow news weeks than otherwise in 2023. However, we’ve still come a long way since New Year’s Day, when market leader Bitcoin (BTC) sold for roughly $16.5K. The world’s favorite cryptocurrency begins the la…

This Week in Coins: Slow News Is Good News for Bitcoin and Ethereum

Illustration by Mitchell Preffer for Decrypt. Prices of leading cryptocurrencies stayed stable over the last seven days. Market leader Bitcoin (BTC) held the fort at $26,569, more or less exactly the same price as last week, while Ethereum (ETH) dropped a slight 2.8% to trade for $1,592. It was another of crypto’s relatively less volatile weeks, which seem to be occurring more frequently this year. There were no major price swings among any of the forty biggest cryptocurrencies by market capit…

This Week in Coins: Steady Week for Bitcoin and Ethereum, Toncoin Balloons 23%

Illustration by Mitchell Preffer for Decrypt. It was another week of fairly stable prices for leading cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin (BTC) grew 3% over the seven days and started Saturday trading at $26,564, while Ethereum (ETH) remains more or less at the same price it was seven days ago at $1,636. ​​ Ethereum’s growth may have been hobbled by reports that its supply recently turned inflationary (meaning more Ether is issued than burned) in one of few such periods since the Merge in September 2022….

This Week in Coins: Green Candles—But Barely—for Bitcoin and Ethereum as Global Adoption Grows

Illustration by Mitchell Preffer for Decrypt. Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) started the weekend with slightly higher prices than seven days ago. The world’s biggest cryptocurrency currently trades for $25,815, which is an increase of about 0.6% over the week, while its closest runner-up grew 0.8% to change hands at $1,630. Many other leading cryptocurrencies have also posted similar small gains. There are no substantial changes to the price of any of the top thirty cryptocurrencies by marke…

This Week in Coins: Bitcoin and Ethereum Unmoved in Slow Market Week

Illustration by Mitchell Preffer for Decrypt. Most of the top thirty cryptocurrencies by market capitalization posted negligible losses or gains over the last seven days. Bitcoin (BTC) starts the weekend at $26,051, pretty much the same level it was at last week. The world’s most popular cryptocurrency briefly surged on Tuesday after a judge representing the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ordered a review of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) denial of crypto asset mana…

This Week in Coins: Bitcoin and Ethereum Recover While Pepe Gets Squeezed

Illustration by Mitchell Preffer for Decrypt. This week markets appeared grateful for the dearth of news—”no news is good news,” as the saying goes. Most leading cryptocurrencies recovered their losses over the week after last Thursday’s flash crash sank virtually all leading cryptocurrencies by double-digit percentages. Bitcoin (BTC) currently holds the fort at $26,015, about 0.4% cheaper than it was this time last week. A lot of Bitcoin mining machinery came online this week, as evinced by the…

This Week in Coins: Flash Crash! Bitcoin and Ethereum Shed 10% as Altcoins Tumble

Illustration by Mitchell Preffer for Decrypt. The prices of leading cryptocurrencies took another downturn this week after briefly inching upwards the week before. Market leader Bitcoin (BTC) posted a mild overnight drop of 2% to below $29,000 on Thursday, after minutes of the latest Federal Reserve policy meeting were released the day before. The document indicatesthat the U.S. central bank will continue its conservative monetary policy in an ongoing effort to rein in inflation. Later that da…

This Week in Coins: Bitcoin and Ethereum Prices Inch Upwards After PayPal Pitches Stablecoin

Illustration by Mitchell Preffer for Decrypt. Leading cryptocurrencies finally broke a six-week spell of poor price performance or inertia this week. Market leader Bitcoin (BTC) added a modest 1.5% to its market value over the seven days to trade at $29,408 on Saturday. According to the latest weekly report by CoinShares, last week was a strong indicator that institutional investors have stopped shorting the leading currency for the first time in fourteen weeks. Meanwhile, Ethereum (ETH), the…

This Week in Coins: Sparse News Extends Streak of Underwhelming Bitcoin and Ethereum Prices

Illustration by Mitchell Preffer for Decrypt. It was the sixth consecutive week of underwhelming price performance by leading cryptocurrencies. There was a dearth of adoption or regulation stories, which for crypto fans and holders made this one of the slowest weeks in recent memory. Market leader Bitcoin (BTC) fell 1.1% over the last seven days and currently trades at $28,972. Its closest rival, Ethereum (ETH), fell 2.3% to change hands at $1,829, according to CoinGecko. Tether’s dollar pegge…

This Week in Coins: Weak Week for Bitcoin and Ethereum—and Worldcoin

Illustration by Mitchell Preffer for Decrypt. The beginning of the week saw the underwhelming launch of Worldcoin Protocol, along with its native cryptocurrency, WLD. Worldcoin is co-founded by Open AI CEO Sam Altman and the premise is at once utopian and dystopian: anyone wanting some WLD has to visit an ”Orb”—these can currently be found in Berlin, Dubai, London, Mexico City, Miami, New York City, San Francisco, Seoul, and Tokyo— and get a snapshot of their eyeballs taken. This biometric dat…

This Week in Coins: Bitcoin and Ethereum Dip as Chainlink, XRP, XLM Lead Growth

Illustration by Mitchell Preffer for Decrypt. Last week’s blistering altcoin rally tapered off this week as Chainlink, XRP, XLM, Stellar and TRX were the only coins to post any notable gains over the last seven days. Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) entered the weekend slightly lower than they did this time last week. Bitcoin dropped 1.5% to its current price of $29,869, according to CoinGecko. Meanwhile, the world’s second favorite coin, ETH, dropped 2.5% to trade at $1,888 at the time of wr…

This Week in Coins: XRP Leads Alt Week as Solana, Cardano and Polygon Outperform Bitcoin and Ethereum

Illustration by Mitchell Preffer for Decrypt. It was a week of altcoin rallies after Ripple’s courtroom victory against the SEC, and details of an upcoming Polygon 2.0 rollout shifted attention away from the two market leaders. Bitcoin (BTC) still gained in value, a modest 3%, and currently changes hands at $30,287, according to CoinGecko. On Monday, reports hit the press that the British multinational bank Standard Chartered predicted that Bitcoin will hit $120,000 before 2025. It wasn’t qui…

This Week in Coins: Solana Surges as Bitcoin and Ethereum Rally Rebound

Illustration by Mitchell Preffer for Decrypt. Echoing last week, the values of market leaders Bitcoin and Ethereum remained pretty inert over the past seven days. Nonetheless, market leader Bitcoin (BTC) hit a one-year high after crossing the $31,000 threshold on Monday on news that the world’s largest asset manager, BlackRock, was refiling its application to the SEC for a Bitcoin spot ETF—a regulated investment vehicle that, if approved, would provide investors with exposure to Bitcoin without…

Illustration by Mitchell Preffer for Decrypt. The recovery that began last week—after U.S. inflation appeared to cool—hit its stride this week as markets continued to reverberate from the bombshell of the world’s largest asset manager, BlackRock, filing an application to the SEC for a Bitcoin spot Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF). Dozens of companies apply for ETFs, and dozens have been rejected. To date, not a single Bitcoin spot ETF has been approved by the crypto-skeptic SEC, despite the fact that…

This Week in Coins: Markets Recover as Inflation Cools Down

Illustration by Mitchell Preffer for Decrypt. Markets recovered from last week’s crash after readings this week showed that U.S. inflation cooled to 4%, more or less in line with expectations. On Wednesday, the Fed elected not to raise interest rates at a meeting for the first time in eighteen months. Leading cryptocurrencies traded sideways that day but appear to have made some gains entering the weekend. Bitcoin posted a slight gain of 3% over the last seven days to trade at $26,428 on Saturd…

Illustration by Mitchell Preffer for Decrypt. Crypto markets crashed hard this week on news that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission had launched enforcement actions against Binance on Monday, followed by Coinbase the next day—both sued for allegedly operating as unregistered securities exchanges. The pair are the two largest crypto exchanges in the world—and the entire industry took notice. Market leaders Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) sustained among the lighter losses among leading…

Illustration by Mitchell Preffer for Decrypt. Markets managed to finally overcome four weeks of inertia and grow a little this week, but perennial leaders Bitcoin and Ethereum remained virtually flat, with only nominal gains over the last seven days. Bitcoin (BTC) added 1.8% this week and traded on Saturday at around $27,189. It briefly reclaimed $28,000 at the start of the week, however, after U.S. lawmakers ended their standoff over the debt ceiling last weekend with a tentative deal. Ethereu…
