Hold onto your hats, crypto enthusiasts, because APE has just swung to the top of the charts as the biggest winner in the last 24 hours! While Bitcoin took a chill pill over the weekend, staying comfortably above the $68,000 mark, it was the altcoins that really shook things up during the week.
Bitcoin’s journey was quite the rollercoaster. Last weekend, it bounced back to $62,000 after dipping below $59,000, then started the week with a bang, climbing to $64,500 and later $66,500 all in a day. Tuesday was a wild ride, seeing BTC hit $68,000, only to be knocked back and then rise again by Wednesday. By Friday, it hit a high of $69,000 for the first time since July, but couldn’t quite hold onto it. Still, BTC is cruising above $68,000, marking an 8.5% rise over the week.
Meanwhile, ApeCoin stole the spotlight with a staggering 60% surge, thanks to the launch of its mainnet. This leap brought APE back into the top 100 largest altcoins, priced at $1.2.
The altcoin scene has been a mixed bag. While some took a tiny nap with minor losses, others like Dogecoin took the spotlight with a whopping 30% rise, fueled by some Elon Musk magic. Other stars of the show include Litecoin with a 13% gain, Bitcoin Cash up by 9.5%, Solana rising by 8%, and Ethereum climbing 7%.
The overall crypto market cap took a breather at $2.450 trillion after a $150 billion weekly boost. So, there you have it – the wild world of crypto, where every day is a new adventure!
