Reading Time: 2 minutes

Over the past week, we have seen some interesting price movements, with Bitcoin and Ethereum taking the spotlight. Bitcoin, the world’s largest and most popular cryptocurrency, has had a rollercoaster week.

At the beginning of the week, Bitcoin reached an all-time high of $64,863.10. This was a significant milestone for the coin, as it continued to break its own records.

However, by mid-week, the price of Bitcoin dropped by 0.89% to $60,763.77. This dip in price may have been caused by a combination of factors, including profit-taking by investors and concerns around increased regulation in the cryptocurrency market.

Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency, also had an interesting week. It ended the week with a 1.20% increase in price to $2,409.43.

The total market cap of all cryptocurrencies has dropped by 0.13% to $2.13 trillion by the end of the week

In terms of trading volume, the 24-hour volume for the cryptocurrency market increased by 5.49%, reaching $69.37 billion. This shows that there is still a high level of interest and activity in the market, despite the slight dip in prices.

Bitcoin continues to dominate the market with a dominance of 56.5%. However, Ethereum’s dominance has also been on the rise, currently standing at 13.6%. This could be a sign of the growing popularity and adoption of the Ethereum blockchain, which is often seen as a more versatile and functional platform compared to Bitcoin.

Among the top altcoins, there were varied price movements. Binance Coin (BNB) saw a 2.13% increase, likely due to the growing popularity of the Binance Smart Chain and various initiatives being launched on the platform. Solana (SOL) also had a positive week, with a 1.96% increase in price.

XRP, the native cryptocurrency of the Ripple network, saw a 2.72% increase in price. This could potentially be linked to the ongoing lawsuit between Ripple and the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which has been making headlines in the cryptocurrency community.

Dogecoin (DOGE) experienced a minor increase of 0.03% in price. While this may not seem like much, DOGE has been one of the most talked-about coins in recent months, thanks to its growing popularity among celebrities and influencers.

Tron (TRX) also saw a positive week, with a 1.15% increase in price. On the other hand, Toncoin (TON) experienced a 3.01% decrease in price.
