Weekly Crypto Market Insights – 21st November

Last week the crypto market marked a slowdown and wait-and-see approach from the industry. After the many bank runs and scale-downs on crypto, it let things settle and calm down a bit, leading the global crypto market to shrink by just -3.35%. As expected, exchange trading volumes were down following a volatile week. Bitcoin went under the $16k mark, and ETH is now trading at $1,120.
The most noteworthy news are mostly around FTX collapse and contagion (creditors are awaiting $3.1 billion, Alameda’s secret exemption from liquidity protocol, etc.); a few crypto hedge funds stated their (optimistic) opinion about crypto; Trump is back on Twitter, and Bloomberg Terminal’s 50 Crypto Assets, among others.
