10 Cryptocurrencies That Earned Big Gains in a Rough Week for the Market
The cryptocurrency markets are rebounding today after a rough seven days. The total market cap sits at just over $396 billion at time of publishing, according to WorldCoinIndex.
The lows came amid new Mt. Gox fears and Korea FUD, as well as more trash talk from high-profile crypto critics like Warren Buffett and Bill Gates.
Despite the downward trend, a bunch of coins managed to end the week in positive territory. Bytecoin pumped hard after Binance announced it had opened up three trading pairs with the coin. Meanwhile, Zilliqa continued to climb after a successful testnet launch and the coin’s addition to Binance, Bithumb and Upbit.
