Crypto assets continued a mini recovery this week. Large-cap assets enjoyed double-digit gains and a number of exchanges have reported a boost in new signups and KYC verifications. Bitcoin may be enjoying a boost as traditional markets and central banks continue to buffeted by the COVID-19 economic crisis.

Large-cap crypto assets continued on their path following last week's. The entire may receive some positive macro headwinds following the strong push last week to include a digital US dollar as part of the ongoing US stimulus package designed to combat the economic consequences of the COVID-19 outbreak.

Large-cap crypto assets enjoyed a relief pump last week providing some short-lived solace for bulls following weeks of heavy sell-offs. With traditional markets opening to strong bearish sentiment following a delay in the U.S. federal stimulus package, crypto traders should expect more price volatility in the coming weeks.

The crypto markets experienced a turbulent week of sell-offs that will go down as one of the darkest weeks in history as COVID-19 sank markets across the world. Both crypto spot and derivative platforms struggled to manage the volatile trading activity on Thursday. Some exchanges were forced to trigger emergency shutdowns to meet short term liquidity and capacity requirements.

The digital asset markets traded red again this week following heavy market wide sell-offs as COVID-19 bearishness continues. The fundamental picture remains positive for now, however, with Bitcoin's hashrate hitting an all time as mining interest surges in the lead up to the May 2020 block reward halving.

The last week has been a difficult one for all global financial markets as uncertainty around the impact of the coronavirus continues to create havoc. In the short term many participants have moved to cash positions as they watch to see what the market will do next.

It was an up and down week for digital assets, with the price of both Bitcoin and altcoins bouncing sharply on Wednesday and Thursday. Some assets like ETH and XTZ, however, were able to navigate the midweek sell-off and keep their bull trends intact.

It was a week of varying fortunes for tokens in the digital asset markets. While Bitcoin and a number of altcoin markets dumped over the weekend, assets like ETH and XTZ resisted sell pressure and continued to build on a strong macro bull trend that has been active since the start of the year.

It was an extremely bullish week for the crypto markets with BTC up over 7% - easily pushing through the key US$9500 and US$10,000 price levels. The week was even more bullish for XTZ - up over 35% and touching new all-time highs for its USD trading pair on multiple exchanges.
