Airdrop Week

Crypto Market Last Week

The second week of “Uptober” saw significant volatility in Bitcoin. The cryptocurrency experienced a notable drop at the beginning of the week but quickly made a strong recovery by the weekend. Bitcoin fell below the $59,000 mark but surged back to $63,000 within just two days, matching its value at the start of the week.

This robust weekend recovery in Bitcoin created favorable conditions for a rally in altcoins, with projects in three key sectors standing out the most: AI, Layer-1, and memecoin.

Notably, this week also marks the occurrence of several airdrop events from prominent projects such as Scroll, CARV, Optimism, and others.
