Top 10 Recap - May 2nd, 2020

It’s time for another weekly recap! Let’s take a look at how the market fared the last 7 days, as the first month of Q2 comes to and end and the quarantine measures are still on effect for most of the world, and we will also look at the best 10 performing tokens of the week. Let’s go right ahead:

Top 10 Cryptocurrencies - Market Value

1 - BTC: $8934.36, with a change of 1.19% since yesterday and 18.38% since last week.

2 - ETH: $213.89, with a change of 0.90% since yesterday and 10.03% since last week.

10 - XTZ: $2.839, with a change of 1.47% since yesterday and -0.94% since last week.

This ended up being one of the best weeks of the year so far. With the market growing by nearly $30 billion, and the top tokens rising by two digits, the upwards tendency fits with the bullish trend that we mentioned in last week’s recap.

BTC is now trading around the $9,000 mark for the first time in almost a month, and analysts are relating this phenomenon to the approaching halving event. Not only that, but the fact that halvings have previously caused long term growth for BTC is also a motivating factor for users to start trading and holding the asset as we approach it. This is calculated to occur in 9 days as the time of writing, so stay tuned for future news about it!
