The Crypto Week in Review: Headlines, ATH Coins, and NFT Movers

Dear Readers,

Bitcoin climbed past the $100,000 mark last week for the first time in three months, driven by renewed investor optimism surrounding tariffs and the broader economic outlook. However, in the last 24 hours, the cryptocurrency market experienced a pullback, with Bitcoin dipping 1.68% to $101,927.

Other major digital assets also declined—Ethereum dropped 3.45% to $2,540, XRP slipped 5.28% to $2.47, and Solana declined 5.57% to $171.32. In contrast, Freysa (FAI) defied the trend, jumping 39.84% and outperforming the broader market. Despite the downturn, overall investor sentiment remains positive, keeping the total global crypto market capitalization relatively high at $3.28 trillion, but down just 2.38%  in the last 24-hours.

Crypto Fear & Greed Index

The Crypto Fear & Greed Index stands at 70, indicating a market sentiment leaning toward greed, slightly down from yesterday’s reading of 73. While the overall sentiment remains stable, cryptocurrency prices are steadily rising, fueled by increasing investor enthusiasm. Nevertheless, some caution lingers due to ongoing concerns over tariff-related tensions.

ATH Coins

An all-time high (ATH) is the highest price a cryptocurrency has ever reached, often signaling strong market momentum and attracting investor attention.
