It was a very dynamic week in the cryptocurrency industry, even though it may not seem that way judging by Bitcoin’s price. And yet, we saw a lot of action in the altcoin scene, especially with memecoins and play-to-earn projects, so let’s dive in. Starting off, Bitcoin failed to produce any meaningful gains over the past week and is only up by about 0.6% throughout the period. Yet, it wasn’t exactly a smooth sail as the price dipped to K on Monday, only to bounce above K on Tuesday. Unfortunately, it couldn’t sustain up there, and it’s trading at around K at the time of this writing. Shiba Inu, on the other hand, saw plenty of action. Unfortunately for the bulls, it wasn’t very positive. The cryptocurrency is down about 17% over the past seven days as one of the

It was a very dynamic week in the cryptocurrency industry, even though it may not seem that way judging by Bitcoin’s price. And yet, we saw a lot of action in the altcoin scene, especially with memecoins and play-to-earn projects, so let’s dive in.
Starting off, Bitcoin failed to produce any meaningful gains over the past week and is only up by about 0.6% throughout the period. Yet, it wasn’t exactly a smooth sail as the price dipped to $60K on Monday, only to bounce above $64K on Tuesday. Unfortunately, it couldn’t sustain up there, and it’s trading at around $61K at the time of this writing.
Shiba Inu, on the other hand, saw plenty of action. Unfortunately for the bulls, it wasn’t very positive. The cryptocurrency is down about 17% over the past seven days as one of the biggest holders started moving coins. This might have sparked fear in the market, and the results are evident.
Elsewhere, we saw a lot of cryptocurrencies native to play-to-earn (P2E) projects pop off right as Facebook announced that it’s going to rebrand to Meta. The goal of Mark Zuckerberg seems to be remembered as one of the builders of the Metaverse. It didn’t take long for the market to react, and on the next day, projects like Decentraland, The Sandbox, and Axie Infinity started surging.
It’s also important to point out that the new mayor elected in New York City – Eric Adams – is a Bitcoin bull. He even said that he will receive his first three salaries in BTC. NYC is one of the world’s biggest economic hubs, and the mayor seems to have plans to turn it into a crypto-native place as well. This is a promising development, and it’s worth following up on it.
In any case, the market capitalization managed to chart a new all-time high this week, signaling that the bulls are still in play, despite the fact that Bitcoin’s price was rather shaky.
