This week, the cryptocurrency market experienced modest movements, with both slight gains and minor pullbacks among the top digital assets.
Top Gainers:
- Litecoin (LTC) +7%
- Sui (SUI) +7%
- Ethereum (ETH) +5%
- Polkadot (DOT) +5%
- Cardano (ADA) +4%
- Avalanche (AVAX) +8%
Biggest Declines:
- Dogecoin (DOGE) -3%
- Ripple (XRP) -2%
Bitcoin remained the key focus of the week, fluctuating between $95,000 and $98,000, closing on a strong note. The price briefly dipped below $95,000 on Tuesday, but quickly recovered, reinforcing market confidence.
One of the most impactful events was Strategy Inc.’s (formerly MicroStrategy) announcement of a $2 billion convertible note offering, aimed at acquiring more Bitcoin. This move signaled continued institutional interest, boosting investor confidence.
Additionally, legislative discussions in 18 U.S. states considered the establishment of state Bitcoin reserves, which, if approved, could introduce up to $23 billion into the market. This development reflects growing governmental recognition of digital assets.
On the macroeconomic front, concerns about interest rate policies from the U.S. Federal Reserve and higher-than-expected inflation data triggered $415 million in outflows from cryptocurrency ETFs, indicating a more cautious approach from retail investors.
2025 Market Leaders & Laggards
With a 7% gain this week, Litecoin (LTC) leads the market in 2025 with a total surge of 29%, followed by:
- Ripple (XRP): +27%
- Bitcoin (BTC): +4%
- Stellar (XLM): +2%
On the other hand, some assets have struggled this year:
- Avalanche (AVAX): -29%
- Shiba Inu (SHIB): -26%
- Bitcoin Cash (BCH): -25%
Macroeconomic Highlights
This was a relatively quiet week for macroeconomic news. However, Germany—Europe’s largest economy—released its Producer Price Index (PPI) for January, a key indicator of inflation trends. The index dropped 0.1% month-over-month, defying expectations of a 0.6% increase. Year-over-year, it rose 0.5%, far below the anticipated 1.3% rise, offering some relief for the European Central Bank.
