Trakx Weekly Update: December 5, 2022
Key Crypto Market Figures
Crypto Tradable Indices (CTIs) Weekly Performance
Crypto prices stayed positive for a second successive week - Trakx top 10 crypto index +3% over the week - as macro drivers reasserted their influence following a dovish tilt by Fed Chair Powell, who indicated that the pace of monetary tightening will likely slow at the next FOMC meeting slated for December 13/14. While the major cryptocurrencies were up between 3-5% on the week, second tier market cap tokens such as Polygon and Uniswap, posted even more impressive gains, witnessing double-digit percentage gains – the latter receiving a boost due to the decentralized platform launching NFT trading. Another standout was Dogecoin – the meme token favoured by Elon Musk – up over 20% amid speculation that it could become the digital currency of Twitter (see Decrypt news)
