Institutional Interest Fuels Crypto Rally as Market Adds $110 Billion in 7 Days

Institutional Interest Fuels Crypto Rally as Market Adds $110 Billion in 7 Days

During the past week, crypto assets increased in value by 9.62%, rising from $1.10 trillion to the current $1.21 trillion. Apart from the listed stablecoins, the top 20 crypto assets by market capitalization all experienced gains this week, as $110 billion was injected into the crypto economy.

Crypto Market Surges, Rally Led by Pepe, Stacks, Bitcoin Cash

At the time of writing, the crypto economy stands at $1.21 trillion, following a 9.62% increase this week. Metrics indicate that bitcoin (BTC) gained 18.1%, while ethereum (ETH) rose by 12.5%.

However, numerous other digital assets experienced significantly larger gains, as evident from cryptobubbles.net’s weekly data. According to the data, BCH, XRD, PEPE, WOO, ZIL, and VET all recorded double-digit gains.

The meme coin pepe (PEPE) experienced a significant 65% increase this week, while bitcoin cash (BCH) jumped over 38%. Pepe led the pack in terms of gains, while stacks (STX) rose by more than 41% over the past seven days.

Conflux (CFX) saw a jump of 40.4%, and kaspa (KAS) gained 26% during the same period. On the other hand, digital currencies such as bittorrent (BTT), kucoin (KCS), terra luna classic (LUNC), and quant (QNT) faced losses ranging from 2.2% to 7.9% this week.

Friday’s leaders in terms of 24-hour stats include FTT, which is up more than 14%; VET, up over 11%; BSV, up more than 8%; LEO, also up more than 8%; ZIL, up 7.6%; and BCH, up more than 6%.

Although, today’s 24-hour losses are led by PEPE and STX. PEPE shed 5.5%, while STX lost 9.8% during the last day. Bitcoin dominance remains high at 48.2%, and ETH’s market dominance stands at 18.6%, according to coingecko.com’s current data.

The crypto rally is believed to be driven by institutional interest and the involvement of major traditional finance (tradfi) giants. In the past week and a half, several spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) were filed, and a crypto exchange backed by Charles Schwab, Citadel Securities, and Fidelity Digital Assets was recently launched.

However, despite the so-called institutional interest, the global trade volume of the crypto economy has been low, and a few crypto businesses are still exhibiting signs of financial weakness.

Even when it’s out of the spotlight though, the deep web is quietly making news, whether trialling the latest privacy coins or the newest coin mixers that promise to restore a little of the privacy that’s being stripped away from bitcoin users on a daily basis.

Chip Mixer is a relatively new bitcoin tumbler that’s designed to restore some of that privacy. Available on both the clearnet and darknet, the service uses a variety of techniques to obfuscate blockchain m...
