Crypto Trends 23 – 29 October 2023: Market Analysis and Performance

The crypto market continues its unexpected surge with another successful week across the board. Most assets record significant gains, some boasting double-digit value points. Meanwhile, the overall market capitalization increased by over $130 billion to comfortably exceed $1.2 trillion.

Bitcoin is up by a whopping 16%, which places its value above $34k. The king of cryptocurrencies has been riding high all week, reaching as high as $35,000 at one point. Its upward trajectory stems from the peculiar listing of a BTC ETF on the Depository Trust website on Monday. The ticker appeared and disappeared on the official page for a few days. However, it was enough to fuel speculations that the SEC greenlighted BlackRock’s ETF. As of the time of writing, the SEC has not provided official statements regarding its decision. Nevertheless, the market is optimistic enough to keep BTC and other crypto assets flying high.

Ethereum rewards its supporters with a spectacular rise in value this week. The second crypto in command increased by over 10% to trade only a little under $1,800. It is an encouraging trajectory for ETH, which has been on a losing streak for weeks on end.
