Arch Newsletter #5: Crypto Total Market Cap is Down by 11%

Hello Architects,

Macroeconomic and geopolitical unrest have been keeping traders on edge.
Inflation, stunted economic growth, and rising interest rates caused some investors to reduce their exposure to volatile assets like cryptos. The total crypto market-cap went down by 11% in the last seven days.

However, the past 24 hours have shown some recovery across all Arch Web3 indices, with smaller-cap and medium-cap tokens recovering better than blue-chip cryptos like Bitcoin and Ether.

Learn how the different indices moved this week and how token prices affected the Arch Ethereum Web 3 token.
