The most notable news of the past week was the pardoning of Binance founder Changpeng Zhao by US President Donald Trump, a move that was predicted in advance.
After the crash at the beginning of the month, the market seems to be in "healing" mode without much news or new price movements. Instead, everyone seems to be waiting for the next Fed interest rate meeting at the end of the month, as well as other macro changes to find a trend.
Let's review all the crypto movements of the week with Coin68 to make sure you don't miss any important news!
