Market Overview
The entire market value of all crypto assets has moved in a range from $2.25 trillion to $2.51 trillion over the past seven days and as of this writing is sitting near the $2.50 trillion mark. This marks a new high for the crypto assets space with the previous high being $2.42 trillion. Like last week, Bitcoin led the way for the market with its market cap now sitting above $1.15 trillion and its market dominance listed as 46.8%.
The Heavy Weights
Bitcoin (BTC-USD) again had an impressive week, gaining 13% over the past seven days to currently trade at $62,100. It had several run ins with the $58K resistance area before finally breaking through the resistance on Friday. Afterwards it sailed through the $60K level and has been moving around the $62K level since, still two thousand away from its all-time high. The main stimulant for the move higher was the MAJOR news that a Bitcoin ETF is finally happening. Specifically, the ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF is expected to start trading next week. It's important to note however that this is a futures-based ETF and not a spot based one. In more bullish news, according to Santiment, whales scooped up nearly $4,800,000,000 in BTC since the September bottom, highlighting that this rally has largely been driven by whales.
Ethereum (ETH-USD) also had a positive week, gaining 7% to trade at the current price of $3, 855. It followed BTC's lead and finally broke through resistance at the $3,600 level after a few attempts earlier in the week. It continues to benefit from positive on-chain trends as well as a disinflationary supply and a growing user base.
Cardano (ADA-USD), on the other hand, has not ridden the Bitcoin wave and has been languishing between the $2.10 and $2.30 level, currently down 2% on the week to trade at $2.22. According to the CoinShares institutional flows report, ADA still saw inflows from institutional investors, but it hasn't been enough to propel the now fourth largest cryptocurrency higher.
Binance Coin (BNB-USD) had a very nice week, gaining 13% to trade at the current price of $478. It's market cap is now at $80B, $7B above Cardano's market cap, making it the third largest cryptocurrency. It was aided this week by the news that Binance is making a $1B fund to support project development on Binance Smart Chain - a move quickly appreciated by investors as BNB was trading under $400 at one point last week. In more bullish news, Santiment has noted that large holders of BNB have recently increased their holdings by 10%.
High Flyers
Nucypher (NU-USD) had a monster week, rallying 500%!!! to sit at its current price of $1.88. The parabolic move was potentially due to the partnership with Keep to launch Threshold Network and tBTC v2.
Polkadot (DOT-USD) was a winner as well, rallying 27% to sit at the current price of $43. The gains were a result of the news that Polkadot's parachain auctions will be commencing in November, a major development.
