Weekly Marketcap Report, Small-caps defy the weakness led by Stratis (STRAT)

cryptocurrency market capitalization index  jun 17

In this report, we try to provide an overview of the crypto market during the last week with a different focus with respect to our other analyses. The focus will indeed be on market capitalization and based on this parameter the projects have been divided into three groups: top, medium, and small*. For each category, we provide insights about the overall performance of the group, the correlation between the various group components, and a special focus on the best/worst performing projects of each group.

Top coins in terms of market capitalization posted the worst result overall as already mentioned for the second consecutive week. This time, however, they shared the worst spot in terms of performances with Mid-cap coins. On the other hand, BTC was able to close the week on a more positive tone and finished better than both. The overall effect resulted in a basically unchanged level of BTC dominance.
