Welcome to a new edition and format of the Weekend Altcoin Report. This weekend report contains a market summary for the week, a review of the biggest movers of the week and market trends worth watching for. ### In this Edition: - Market Summary for the Week - Top 5 Biggest Movers this Week - Axie Infinity +60,000% in just 9 months - How did this happen? ## Market Recap: Bitcoin is trading just shy of $50,000\. The price of BTC has been slowly and steadily increasing over the last month and its highly likely BTC will break the psychological barrier of $50k very soon. While Bitcoin is continuing to slowly lose market dominance (44.19%), we are seeing increases in substantial holdings by specific coins. Ethereum (18.28%), Cardano (3.85%), XRP (2.74%), and other (18.97%). ![](https://cdn.getmidnight.com/13448471d89a9cd8d7f71026a0334ec8/2021/08/image-1.png) With respect to the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, Cardano is continuing to increase its positioning (20% gains over the last week) and now holds third place. Solana (SOL) increased an incredible 77% in the last week mostly attributed to its NFT project release and now this project sits within the top 10 cryptocurrencies in the world. ## Biggest Gainers this week (Top 100 Coins): This week is a continuation of the steady increase in market capitalization that has been taking place over the last month. As mentioned earlier, Solana (SOL) made an incredible leap (+77%) to gain standing within the top 10 largest cryptocurrencies. ![](https://cdn.getmidnight.com/13448471d89a9cd8d7f71026a0334ec8/2021/08/image-2.png) ## TOP 5 MOVERS OF THE WEEK: These top 5 projects have been identified as the biggest movers from within the top 100 cryptocurrencies (by market capitalization). In the last week: ### Avalanche (AVAX) +111% Released in September 2020 and raised over $42 million in less than 5 hours, this token has the potential to be one of the greatest projects in history. This token is seen as a direct competitor to Ethereum. Avalanche is said to be a cheaper and easier platform for the creation of Decentralized (DeFi) projects. With such potential, it's not surprising this token is doing so well. ### Arweave (AR) +93% First launched in August 2017 (under the name Archain), this well-established project offers permanent decentralized storage. This project allows for the storage of data - forever. With ever-increasing storage needs and no direct competitors, this project is well-positioned for continued growth. This project is currently ranked 95 and up 229% in the last 30 days. This project offers the potential for worldwide adoption. It is ranked at 95 with still a lot of room for movement up the with a lot of room for growth. Arweave has gone up +5,000% in the last year and is currently trading around $28. ### Solana (SOL) +77% Launched in March 2020 and now ranked within the top 10 cryptocurrencies, Solana is considered by many to be an "Ethereum Killer" - a project that offers smart contract functionality and the establishment of a decentralized ecosystem. This weeks price spike was likely a result of the NFT project that was released and sold out within minutes of going live. In the last month, this project has increased in price by 176% and is currently sitting at #10 position. ### Terra (LUNA) +73% Potentially the next best stable coin project, Terra is a blockchain protocol that offers stable payments by way of pegging the value of stable coins to various fiat currencies. About a year ago, in March 2020 Terra was trading at $0.12\. A few days ago this project hit its all-time high price of $33\. That is a +22,000% increase in about one year! ![](https://cdn.getmidnight.com/13448471d89a9cd8d7f71026a0334ec8/2021/08/image-3.png) [Axie Infinity](https://axieinfinity.com/) ## The Play-to-Earn Revolution: +60,000% in 9 Months NFT's and blockchain gaming have created what is being touted as the "Play-to-Earn Revolution", with Axie Infinity as its poster child. [This token](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/axie-infinity/) has gone up over 60,000% in just over nine months and is now ranked in the top 35 cryptocurrencies. Extraordinary.

This will be especially true within the smaller cap cryptos. One niche sector I am very bullish on, for obvious reasons is blockchain [indo777](https://indo777bestlink.net/) games. More to come on that in future editions. Until next time, trade safe and be legendary, Richard ![](https://cdn.getmidnight.com/13448471d89a9cd8d7f71026a0334ec8/2020/09/10--1-.jpg)
