The cryptocurrency market seems to be picking up the pace this week. Most major assets are trading in the greens, with the global crypto market cap gaining 4.1% in 24 hours to $2,41 trillion. Bitcoin is leading the pack with 4.6% gains in 24 hours while reclaiming the $62,000 level.
The latest market rejuvenation could be due to an increase in the open interest for top crypto projects. There is also a chance that the market has responded positively to Donald Trump getting elected as US President in the upcoming elections. Trump has been very vocal about his support for the cryptocurrency sector, even accepting crypto for his campaigns.
With that said, let’s look at three assets you should watch this week.
