Shiba Inu (SHIB) Only Major Altcoin Green as Bitcoin Flatlines on the Weekly: Your Crypto Recap

To say that the price action in the cryptocurrency market this week was disappointing would be the understatement of the year. Most of the top altcoins are posting losses as the price of Bitcoin has remained completely flat for the past seven days.

In fact, Bitcoin’s volatility has been so insignificant that on a 10-day average, it’s about to turn lower than stocks and even gold. That’s right – “highly volatile”, unpredictable and “risky” Bitcoin has seen less action than… gold. But it is what it is, and BTC has absolutely failed to produce any substantial movement over the past week, losing a slight 0.2%.

Elsewhere, altcoins are bleeding. XRP is down 7%, ADA is down 5%, SOL – 5.4%, TRON – 7.3%, MATIC – 5.6%, etc. This has contributed to Bitcoin’s dominance. For those unaware, this is the metric that tracks its share against that of the rest of the market. It has risen by 0.5% in the past seven days, which shows exactly how weak altcoins are right now.

But not all altcoins are created equal, and it turns out that SHIB is the only one among the majors that performed well. The cryptocurrency is up about 5% on the week in a sea of ​​red. It’s not without a good reason. Binance, the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchange, has just announced that it will now start accepting SHIB as collateral. This is big news, and it is the main catalyst for the rise in value of the altcoin.

Elsewhere, Coinbase is set to dismiss the case against the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The exchange cited the decision in Ripple v. Commission, where Judge Analisa Torres determined that secondary sales of XRP did NOT constitute an investment contract. It’s very interesting to see how the legal spat plays out, as this decision offers a pivotal moment.

Overall, it should also be noted that the ongoing bear market is proving to be the longest in the relatively nascent history of crypto. It’s been going on for over two years now, and we’ve yet to see when it will end.
