Trakx Weekly Update: December 12, 2022
Key Crypto Market Figures
Crypto Tradable Indices (CTIs) Weekly Performance
Crypto markets were relatively quiet over the past week. Bitcoin and Ether were essentially unchanged while the Trakx top 10 crypto index was off 1% due to a 17% pullback in Dogecoin. The meme-coin favoured by Elon Musk nearly doubled in the preceding fortnight amid speculation that it could become the native crypto for Twitter. However, leaks suggested a rival “Twitter coin” was under development. Profit-taking was also seen in the Trakx Interoperability index which lost 6% last week. In terms of news, Sam Bankman-Fried continued to dominate media headlines having finally agreed to testify before the US House Committee on Financial Services on Tuesday. More fundamentally, a slew of central bank meetings are schedule for this week. The Fed, the ECB and the BoE are all expected to raise their key interest rates, but at a more moderate pace.
