BRETT Emerges as Top Performer in Weekly Crypto Market, Despite $2.53 Trillion Decline
As of the latest update on Monday, the global cryptocurrency market is valued at $2.53 trillion, showing a slight decrease of 0.89% in the last 24 hours. Throughout the past week, there have been notable movements in the market, with six tokens showcasing double-digit gains. Leading the pack is the meme coin BRETT, which surged by an impressive 65.8%.
In the realm of cryptocurrencies, bitcoin (BTC) saw a modest increase of 0.5% over the week, while ethereum (ETH) experienced a decline of 3.5% against the U.S. dollar. However, amidst these fluctuations, a few select crypto assets stood out with significant gains against the greenback, with BRETT stealing the spotlight. Despite a 10.5% drop in the last day, BRETT maintained a remarkable 65.8% increase over the past week. Following closely behind was the BRC20 token ORDI, which saw a rise of 22.9%. Despite a 6.7% decrease today, ORDI still managed to secure a notable gain for the week.
Several other cryptocurrencies also experienced double-digit gains, including OM, STX, XMR, and KAS, while INJ, TON, and KCS saw smaller but still significant increases. In terms of trading volume, aside from the usual suspects like BTC, ETH, and stablecoins, BNB, SOL, XRP, NOT, DOGE, and SHIB emerged as the top performers this week. On the flip side, the meme coin dogwifhat (WIF) suffered the biggest loss, dropping by 22.1%.
A total of nearly two dozen coins recorded double-digit losses this week, with NOT, FET, and BONK following closely behind WIF with significant declines. Other notable losers included GALA, AGIX, LDO, BEAM, PEPE, TIA, FTM, and ENA, each experiencing losses of 16% or more throughout the week. The past seven days in the volatile world of cryptocurrency have showcased both triumphs and setbacks, highlighting the ever-changing landscape of the market.
While coins like BRETT captured attention with their impressive gains, others like WIF faced steep declines, emphasizing the speculative nature of certain tokens, particularly meme coins. Despite these fluctuations, the consistent trading volumes indicate an ongoing interest from investors, promising further excitement and developments in the crypto space.
