This week, the crypto market saw a significant surge in altcoin prices, with many outperforming even Bitcoin’s impressive gains.
Market Highlights
* **Altcoin Rally:** The crypto pump of the past few days has propelled altcoin prices upwards, with nearly two-thirds of the top 100 coins by market cap exceeding Bitcoin’s 11% weekly gains. Notable winners include Worldcoin (+42%), Stacks (+39%), and Maker (+32%).
* **Mt. Gox Transfers:** Mt. Gox, the infamous exchange that went bankrupt in 2014, has begun transferring 3.1 billion USD worth of Bitcoin to new addresses in preparation for creditor repayments.
* **Uniswap Extension:** Uniswap Labs has released its Chrome browser extension to a waiting list of nearly 800,000 users. This extension enables users to interact with the Uniswap protocol without leaving their browser, eliminating the need for pop-ups.
Market Sentiment
Despite the recent gains, concerns remain about the sustainability of this rally and the potential for a market correction. Some analysts suggest the market may be experiencing a bubble, similar to the “everything bubble” seen in other asset classes.
Notable Events
* **LIFI Exploit:** The bridging protocol LIFI suffered a “call injection” exploit, resulting in the loss of over $10 million in user funds.
* **Instadapp (INST):** The Instadapp token has seen strong performance this week, raising questions about whether the rally is sustainable or represents a buying opportunity.
