From May 24 to 30, 2021, the cryptocurrency market shows important signs of recovery, after the general decline that was experienced last week amid the correction in the price of bitcoin (BTC). About 90% of altcoins registered increases that reached more than 50%, according to statistics from Coin Check Up.

The weekly top is headed by Decred (DCR) , which this week integrated its native portfolio to its decentralized exchange DCRDEX. They are followed by Zcash (ZEC), which is now accepted in a Chrome browser extension called Moon; and beam (BEAM), which is preparing for a change in its governance system.

All five cryptocurrencies are completed with cardano (ADA) , with the tesnet launch of its Alonzo update ; and EOS , which plans changes to its rewards system.

For its part, the price of bitcoin returns to the rise in these seven days, after the resounding fall on May 19 that brought its value to USD 30,000. On average, the pioneering cryptocurrency surged 4.8% in seven days, to trade at $ 35,580 at time of writing.

In this regard, the most recent analysis by Ecoinometrics pointed out that the upward trend that the cryptocurrency market had been registering has not ended with the strong correction of last week. According to this company’s analysis, what is currently occurring is a typical type of downturn during a post- halving market .

Remember in this sense that we are in the stage after the third halving , which occurred on May 11, 2020. According to Ecoinometrics, the pattern after these events includes a vertiginous rise, followed by strong corrections and successive rises.

For its part, ether (ETH), Ethereum’s native cryptocurrency, also rises in price. This week the price of ETH moved between $ 1,782 and $ 2,871 in seven days and on average rose 22%.

Notable news on the network includes that of decentralized infrastructure provider SpaceChain, which announced two space missions scheduled for June this year. The first mission, scheduled for June 3, will focus on moving the Ethereum satellite node to the International Space Station (ISS) aboard SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket, as the company announced in a statement.

Other relevant cryptocurrencies by market capitalization are also showing recovery. XRP gained 21% and litecoin (LTC) was up 24%. Meanwhile, Polkadot (DOT) appreciates at 16%; and cardano (ADA) advances by more than 35% to rank fourth in the weekly top.

Decred integrates your DEX into the Decrediton native wallet

The DCR price ranged between $ 88.17 and a high of $ 154, which it reached on May 27. On average, the cryptocurrency surged more than 54% in seven days.

The integration comes after it was learned that Decred launched a new decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), once the necessary changes were executed earlier this month to decentralize treasury of 87 million dollars. The move gave stakeholders full sovereignty over project funds.

DCRDEX is reportedly among the first exchanges to make use of a new order matching system. They also mention other integrations that they consider key, such as additional security.
