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.
