Bitcoin Corrects 10%, Metaverse Tokens on the Rise: This Week’s Recap

Author: George Georgiev

Last Updated Nov 28, 2021 @ 21:55

This week we saw the cryptocurrency market tank as Bitcoin dipped with more than 10%. On the other hand, Metaverse-related tokens are popping off.

Getting your audio player ready...

This week brings both good and bad news, depending on where you look it from. For Metaverse aficionados, the week was quite great, but for the rest of the market – it was downright bleak. So, let’s start with the broader market.

Bitcoin is down over 10% in the past seven days, and there’s no other way of looking at it – it wasn’t pleasant. The cryptocurrency tumbled below $56K for the first time since late October and liquidated millions worth of both long and short positions because of the volatility. The decline started on Monday, and for the first time in a long time, the market sentiment has turned fearful.

Naturally, this had an impact on the entire cryptocurrency field as most of the coins are also charting double-digit declines. Ethereum is down about 10.7%, BNB, SOL, ADA, and XRP are all down about the same 10%. The total market capitalization has declined to $2699 billion in the past seven days – a substantial drop given that it was above $3 trillion at one point.

However, not all is doom and gloom. Metaverse-related and play-to-earn tokens are popping off. At the time of this writing, Decentraland’s MANA is up 25%, while The Sandbox’s SAND is up 60%. ENJ is also up almost 20%, while WAXP is up almost 60%.

Elsewhere, it appears that the season of high valuations keeps on rolling. Gemini – the cryptocurrency exchange founded by the Winklevoss twins – seems to be planning a $400 million raise, and if successful, that would put the company’s total valuation upwards of $7 billion. DCG also raised $600 million in a debt capital raise. In other words – big money continues to flow in the industry, perhaps giving further notion to the claim that the current downturn might be a good buying opportunity.
