The cryptocurrency market has faced a slight correction entering mid-December 2023. The global market cap fell by 3.2% in the last 24 hours, currently at $1.66 trillion. Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) saw a combined liquidation of over $335 million. However, BTC is steady above $42k, while ETH remains above $2.2k. The recent volatility could be due to the upcoming US CPI (Consumer Price Index) data for November 2023.
With that said, let’s look at the top 3 projects to watch this coming week.
