Trakx Weekly Update: January 9, 2023
Key Crypto Market Figures
Crypto Tradable Indices (CTIs) Weekly Performance
Crypto markets got off to a Bonk-ers new year. Solana, whose token suffered last year due to the strong association with FTX’s Sam Bankman-Fried, was up just shy of 50% over the past week – strong gains that contributed to lifting the ESG and Top Ten Proof-of-Stake indices, which were up 22% and 9.5% respectively. Sentiment was boosted by the launch of a dog-themed cryptocurrency called Bonk on the Solana blockchain in late December. The meme coin was airdropped to the Solana community and surged higher amid a speculative frenzy. BONK’s developer team was prompted to burn their allocation (5% of the total) to support the token, but it remained up over 2,000% on the week. Aside from speculative meme-coin mania, cryptocurrencies were mainly in the green (Trakx Top 10 Crypto Index +4.9%). The uptick came as US non-farm payrolls showed continued jobs expansion but a cooling in wage growth, which investors viewed as supporting a soft-landing scenario. Attention now turns to Thursday’s US CPI inflation report – the most significant economic data release prior to the January 31-Feb 1st FOMC policy meeting (consensus expectation: 25bp hike).
