Weekly Crypto Report, Ethereum is the most resilient coin of the group

Table of Crypto performance Jun 12

GENERAL OVERVIEW

The last week was a bad one for the crypto market, which registered negative returns for all the projects in our sample. Thanks to a comeback in the last day limiting damages, none of the coins finished with a double-digit loss.

On Thursday, traditional financial markets rediscovered the bad side of volatility after a bull run going on since the lows of March. This negative performance was mainly due to the negative tone of the FED message of Wednesday, which cooled down the hopes for a fast recovery of the general economy from the Covid emergency. We already saw in March cryptocurrencies involved in a phenomenon of general markets crash. This time we saw a similar behavior, which also doesn’t offer support to the idea that Bitcoin can be seen as a some sort of safe-haven asset from investors. On the contrary, BTC fell together with the other risky asset classes.

We already mentioned how all the projects reported a negative result. It is also interesting to note how some of the most succesful coins of the past weeks in terms of performance were among the worst performers this week, Cardano (ADA) and IOTA (IOTA) above all.

On the other hand, Stellar (XLM) was the worst project in our sample, losing 8.85% of its value during the week after its hard fork.

In a wider period, ADA is still offering the best performance, while ETH catches the second best performer place among the coins we cover following the performance of this week.
