It’s time for yet another recap, where we cover the top ten currencies by market capitalization, analyze quickly how the market caused or react to these movements and cover some news about the crypto landscape, and also find out which were the 10 best-performing tokens of the week. Lets take a look:

Another week of steady growth for cryptocurrency! The good news began on Tuesday, where BTC climbed nearly 10% in a day, with the rest of the market following its steps. The main reason for this seems to be the successful launch of CME’s BTC options, which managed to overshadow what happened to Bakkt and their proposal of Bitcoin futures. The sentiment generated by the availability of new alternatives of trading is certainly a trigger factor for people to enter the fray, which boosts positive trends like the ones we’re seeing right now.

With BTC now trading near the $9,000 mark, we will have to wait for the following weeks to see how long the bullish tendency stays strong, dragging the entire market up in preparation of a crucial year for cryptocurrency and blockchain as a technology aiming to disrupt new economic landscapes.
