Every Monday, we cover the latest developments and trends in the dynamic and ever-evolving world of cryptocurrency. From price movements, industry news and our favorite resources, we strive to provide our readers with a comprehensive overview of the crypto landscape.

In case your favorite media source has failed to make it eminently clear to you this week:

Canada lost 17K jobs in May,
In defiance of established sovereign lending incumbents (IMF & World Bank), El Salvador moved forward to secure $1B in commitments for a 241-megawatt volcano energy-powered Bitcoin mining operation. And—
Despite regulatory crackdowns, BTC and ETH futures funding rates remain bullish.

📈 Weekly Moves

Market Summary:

The global cryptocurrency market has reached a total market capitalization of CAD $1.4 Trillion.
Bitcoin continues to lead the market with a dominance of 47.8%, followed by Ethereum at 19.9%.

Performance:

Bitcoin is currently the top trading pair on NDAX, followed Ethereum, XRP, Cardano, Litecoin and Shiba Inu.
Over the past 7 days, the value of Bitcoin (BTC) has decreased by 4.50% and is currently being traded at $34,414. Ethereum (ETH) is down 7.68% during the same period and is now being traded at $2,320.

Market Trends:

For those of you who’ve perhaps been too scared to check the price of bitcoin (in light of this week's regulatory swagger), allow us to put your anxiety to rest:

BTC closed the week down 5%, even as BTC and ETH futures funding rates remain exceedingly positive.

Back in April the CBC reported that:

Bank failures haven't happened often in Canada. The Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC), which insures deposits in Canadian banks, last handled one in the mid-1990s, and the Crown corporation has dealt with only 43 such incidents since it was established in 1967.
“Only” 43.
So since 97.7% of those “incidents” occurred between the CDIC’s 'incorporation’ in ‘67 and... 30 years ago.
And given the continued stress in the banking sector—specifically this week, in another deemed ‘Globally Systemically Important Banks’ (GSIBs) by the FSB (Financial Stability Board), ironically headquartered in the same country whose Central Bank just made $10B of public funds available to UBS (the posterchild GSIB...
That the Canadian economy lost 17K jobs in May, and—
That Canada now looms tall as the nation with the highest rate of consumer debt to GDP of the G8.

Yours in the hodl.
