Cryptos

Another fantastic week for the crypto market! Many of the significant cryptocurrencies rose to 28% in value—especially Ethereum, XRP, and Litecoin, which showed some impressive gains.

Since the price decline last week, Bitcoin showed to be resilient. Today, as of this writing, Bitcoin prices are up around $500. Will there be more fireworks this weekend? Stay tuned.
