While U.S. stock prices hit new all-time-highs, the crypto asset markets slumped to end the week in the red. In the week ahead, two major Ethereum projects, MakerDAO and 0x, will undergo major upgrades that will fundamentally change the way each network operates.

It was a mixed week in the crypto markets. Market benchmark BTC was down slightly, but altcoins such as XLM and XTZ enjoyed healthy gains. The ever-evolving Chinese government blockchain policy was a major story this week. New reports suggest that the country's miners are safe from regulators for the time being.
