Hot Take: Mixed Performances and Decreased Trading Volumes
The Q2 2023 report by Messari highlights the mixed performances of cryptocurrencies during this period. While Ethereum showed strong price performance and increased dominance, other cryptocurrencies experienced losses. Bitcoin and Tron had positive price performance in Q2, but trading volumes for both Bitcoin and Ethereum were down. Overall, the crypto market faced challenges with decreasing trading volumes and waning hype. It is important to note that Bitcoin tends to be more resilient than other cryptocurrencies during price declines. Despite the challenging quarter, July brought some positive momentum, particularly with XRP’s victory over the SEC.
