We are back! This will be the first Weekly Recap of our new schedule. From now on, this article will be released on Saturdays, but the feature for the week’s best performing coin will still be published on Mondays. We hope to keep you informed, so let’s take a look at what happened this week:
Top 10 Cryptocurrencies - Market Value
1 - BTC: $10375.81, with a change of 0.03% since yesterday and -1.11% since last week.
2 - ETH: $184.94, with a change of 1.86% since yesterday and 3.71% since last week.
3 - XRP: $0.2638, with a change of 3.05% since yesterday and 1.27% since last week.
4 - BCH: $303.24, with a change of 1.67% since yesterday and 1.00% since last week.

7 - USDT: $1.004, with a change of 0.20% since yesterday and 0.10% since last week.
8 - BNB: $20.84, with a change of 0.00% since yesterday and -7.34% since last week.

10 - XMR: $74.9, with a change of -2.69% since yesterday and -4.62% since last week.
As we can see, BTC fell slightly below the $10,000 mark on Wednesday, but it has manage to recover and currently sits above the $10,300 line. These movements might only be related to unstable trading volumes going up and down as bullish and bearish investors take influence from one another.
An outlier seems to be Bitcoin SV, showing the steepest drop since last week among the top 10. This may be related to the all-time low levels of Hast Rate market share, nearing to 1% compared to its usual 9%. This means miners are taking more time to assemble new blocks, which translates in increase in transaction delay, hurting the currency’s capacity to fill its users needs.
On a different note: From now on, we will include USDT (and any other Stablecoin that reaches the top 10), since it involves a big chunk of the market and recent news of Samsung Galaxy S10 now supporting stablecoins might even boost their popularity.
