Crypto Trends 22 – 28 May 2023: Market Analysis and Performance

The crypto market has decided to end May as one of the least eventful months in its history. Notably, the past week has been another drab period for most assets. Even the market capitalization remained at broadly the same value, increasing by only $6 billion.

Bitcoin seesawed for most of the week around the $27,000 level. This seems to be the new comfort zone for the king of cryptocurrencies. However, it shouldn’t upset too many of its supporters, considering BTC started the year trading at only $16,000.

Ethereum is also back to seeing brighter days after increasing by 2% this week. However, the second crypto in command is also settling for a toasty comfort zone, this time around the $2,000 level. These fluctuations are likely to continue in the weeks to come.

Elsewhere, Cardano is up by 5%, Dogecoin by 1%, Polygon by 6%, and Solana by 3%. Meanwhile, BNB dropped by 1%, while Litecoin and Uniswap dropped by over 3%.

The Metaverse sector shares the same sentiment as the rest of the crypto market. For instance, The Sandbox and Render Token are up by 7%. Also, Axie Infinity increased by 3% and Decentraland by 1%. On the other hand, ApeCoin is down by 6% and ICP by almost 4%.

The DeFi sector added nearly $1 billion to the total value of locked protocols (TVL), now at $48.41 billion.
