    Top 3 Coins to Watch – Week 34

    ByAndrew Turner

    Last week we reported that the total cryptocurrency market capitalization is finally back above $2 trillion, but at the end of Week 33 the total valuation of all cryptocurrencies in circulation combined already exceeded $2.1 trillion. Nevertheless, for the second week in a row, market leaders Bitcoin and Ethereum were pushed in the background of attention while altcoins like AVAX, ADA, LUNA, DOT, and SOL claimed the spotlight with their high weekly gains. Furthermore, several altcoins are either at or very near their ATH prices. Together with a drop in BTC dominance, this has led a few analysts to believe that we are at the beginning of a new altcoin season.

    Top 3 Coins to Watch – Week 33

    ByAndrew Turner

    We made it! Or should we say: the cryptocurrency markets have made it. We are talking about reclaiming the total market valuation of $2 trillion, which happened on August 13, of course. Even though the total market valuation of the sector dipped below $2 trillion a few times throughout Week 32, the markets have always recovered, and the positive sentiment appears capable of driving the market capitalization further up. This time the main “culprits” for the market capitalization pump were not Bitcoin and Ethereum (although they did contribute their significant share), but large market cap altcoins including ADA and XRP, both of which are featured in the article below. ADA price grew by more than 50% in Week 32, while XRP price drew an even steeper line on the charts as it is up by 65% in the seven days.

    ByAndrew Turner

    According to PwC, blockchain technology has the potential to boost global gross domestic product (GDP) by US$1.76 trillion over the next decade. Whilst it was devised, in part, to serve as a solution to present data security challenges such as data breaches which, according to Security Intelligence, costs over $4.24 million on average, blockchain has somehow not been able to viably address these issues.

    Top 3 Coins to Watch – Week 32

    ByAndrew Turner

    The cryptocurrency market ended Week 31 with a total market capitalization of $1.80 trillion and the sector is now eying to reclaim the $2 trillion valuation. Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency is up by more than 15% in the last 7 days and is trading above $45,000 for the first time after May 18. Ether on the other hand is successfully riding the wave caused by the London hardfork, which introduced a fee burning mechanism, resulting in ETH growing by more than 20% in the last 7 days. However, we have eyes on three different altcoins this week. Without a doubt, altcoins are a riskier investment than top tier coins, but the greater risk is compensated by higher potential returns on investment.

    Top 3 Coins to Watch – Week 30

    ByAndrew Turner

    The cryptocurrency market has ended the Week 29 with a total market capitalization of $1.44 trillion, which is around $140 billion more than at the end of the week. In addition, the cryptocurrency market saw quite a significant recovery during the first few hours (CEST) of Week 30 with most of the coins jumping up by 10% or more. At the time of writing, the total market value of all the cryptocurrencies combined already exceeds $1.56 trillion. Bitcoin, the market barometer, reclaimed the 50-day moving average and the general sentiment seems to be turning bullish again. If this uptrend will be sustained for a longer period, we could see a $2 trillion total market capitalization again. Whether this happens or not, it is undoubtedly worth checking out the coins listed in our weekly Top 3 Coins to Watch series, where we list coins that have the potential to outperform the rest of the market in the week to come.
