GENERAL OVERVIEW
The last seven days were positive for the cryptocurrency market, which was coming from a difficult week. All our sectors were positive and overperformed BTC.
Platforms and tokens fared better than currencies, which is something we often observe in a bull market.
CURRENCIES
Cryptocurrencies whose main feature is to be used as a medium of exchange were clearly positive during the last seven days with performances ranging from +0.13% to +23.54%. The median value was a positive +7.30% w/w, up circa fifteen points from the previous one.
All the currencies finished the week with a positive result, the exact opposite of what we observed the last time. BTC was positive as well, gaining 4.94% in order to close at 10’897 USD.
Currency cryptos showed a level of correlation in line with last week, with an average of circa 0.58. Beam (BEAM) showed the lowest correlation with its peers “as usual”, approaching 0.49.
Nano (NANO) was the best performing crypto among currencies, closing the week at 0.8674 USD, for a -23.54% w/w return. The project saw some changes in its advisory board which were well received by investors.
