Q1 2021 marked the beginning of the long-awaited ecosystem wars.
In this week's recap, we dive into the weekly performance of the most popular protocols across different Layer-1s.
Ethereum
Assets with longevity on their side showed the highest resilience during the week. As of April 22nd, $MKR and $COMP were the only two assets in the Ethereum ecosystem with positive weekly returns.
Cosmos
All assets in the Cosmos ecosystem suffered last week. $ATOM, the chain's native token, had the worst performance ending the week with a -27% return.
Centralized and decentralized exchanges were the top-performing sectors during the week fueled by the excitement of the Coinbase IPO.
Top Assets by Market Capitalization
$DOGE and $XRP were the clear outperformers of the group with weekly returns of 114% and 88% respectively.
Sector Drill Down - DeFi
DeFi was the third best performing sector of the week with an aggregate return of 22.4%. Among DeFi assets, THORChain's native token $RUNE led the way, returning 54% on the week.
Asset prices across all sectors reached new all-time highs as that bull market continues with full force.
Here is a recap of what happened 👇🏻
In this piece, the @MessariCrypto research team and I dive into the performance of the overall market and drill down on some of the top-performing assets in each sector according to our taxonomy.
The top assets by market capitalization were dominated by $BNB. The token's run was fueled by the rise of Binance Smart Chain as a low-cost alternative to Ethreum.
Further aiding $BNB's run was the exchange's accelerating volumes and earnings fueled by white hot crypto markets.
