The crypto market capitalization fell over the last seven days although slight upticks have been recorded today as the price rebounds. The total market cap plunged 3.2% this week as sentiments plummeted across Bitcoin (BTC), altcoins, and memecoins.

Bitcoin and Altcoins Post Weekly Losses

Ethereum and Solana posted weekly outflows of 2.57% and 0.78% respectively. Both assets have also seen daily gains as the crypto market picked up on Monday.

Avalanche (AVAX) and Chainlink (LINK) posted larger weekly losses of 12.92% and 8.27%. Memecoins also recorded plunging figures as investors moved funds away from risky assets.
