Binance Under Scrutiny, Polygon in Build Mode, and FTX Hearing Confirms Backdoor Rumors
Markets have entered an arguably historical week for crypto, with a few critical events upon us, like the FTX hearing and CPI data of several countries. Bitcoin and Ethereum have barely moved over the past week, with a 0.55% and 0.27% increase in returns, respectively.
The biggest outlier within the Layer 1 subcategory is still Solana, down by almost 7% over the past week, followed by Avalanche and Binance, down by almost 5% each. Within major Layer 2s of scalability solutions, Boba stood out in TVL growth, increasing by almost 4% over the past week. Curve is the most negatively impacted in DeFi applications after being hurt by the depeg of Tron’s algorithmic stablecoin USDD, which makes up nearly 85% of the liquidity on Curve’s USDD/3CRV pool at the time of writing.
