[Prices as of 12:30 PM ET. Click here for our Fear & Greed Index]( 3 QUICK HITTERS â¡ï¸ Light news day, so I wonât waste your time. Letâs do some quick hitters! 1/ This weekâs Mt. Rushmore of Cryptocurrencies. Here are the 5 best-performing tokens of the week:
[Source: CoinGecko]( Here are a few reasons why these tokens pumped this week⦠- Fantom ($FTM): The highly-anticipated âSonicâ upgrade is expected to happen soon. It will make transactions faster and make it easier for developers to migrate over to the blockchain using its new Fantom Virtual Machine (FVM). - Aptos ($APT): The blockchain has seen an increase in daily active users (+400% over the last month) and recently announced a big partnership with Google Cloud to help creators launch web3 games with crypto and NFTs. - Stacks ($STX): Token holders voted for, and approved, a major network upgrade earlier this week. The âNakamotoâ upgrade will go live in a few days and is expected to increase network security and make transactions faster. - Toncoin ($TON): The TON Foundation launched a new â[community rewards initiative](â and will distribute 30M tokens (worth $115M) to users and projects in the TON ecosystem. - Kaspa ($KAS): Trading volume has increased by 50% over the last week. Weâll see which tokens can keep their momentum up. 2/ Bitcoin ETF net inflows are slowing down. In fact, there hasnât been a single day of inflows this week⦠Zero. Zip. Zilch. Nada. 4 straight days of outflows!
[Source: CoinGlass]( Why this matters: The [BTC ETFs]( have been a big catalyst for the recent crypto rally. Since January 11th (the day they launched)... - BTC ETFs have seen a net inflow of [$11.3B](. - [BTCâs price]( has jumped from $42,700 â $62,700 (+46.8%) But the question on everyoneâs minds has been⦠what happens when the music stops and the ETF flows slow down? Well, it looks like we have our answer... BTC ETFs = 4 straight days of outflows â> BTC = down 8% on the week. 3/ Venture funding is making a comeback⦠Donât call it a comeback, but VC investments into [crypto companies]( have increased each month this yearâ¦
[Source: The Block Pro Research]( Here are some of the companies who secured the bag (ð°) this weekâ¦Â [Keyring]( raised $6M to help institutional investors interact with DeFi platforms, in a compliant way.
