Hello there!
Welcome to another comprehensive crypto news roundup from your favorite portfolio tracking and trading platform, Coinigy.
While we thought crypto was finally leaving bear season last month, we still have a long way to go before that becomes a reality. A 5% dip in price for Bitcoin came Monday after news of the SEC’s lawsuit against Binance.
Nonetheless, the market has been as vibrant as ever, with brave founders launching new projects and improving on already established ones (Solana, we see you 👏).
This begs the question; are we really in a bear market?
Anyway, here’s what you missed last week.
