Comments from finder.com co-founder, Fred Schebesta:

“Although the total amount traded in cryptocurrency continues to decrease, this week is more optimistic than last week in terms of price. Last week’s report saw 89% of cryptocurrencies decrease in price, while this week only has 76% of coins dipping in price.

“With smaller coins, it’s common to see their price jump up and down – take CryptoInsight (TKR), for example, which had the highest increase in price growth in the last report, but the least this week.

“Binance Coin (BNB) is one that seems to avoid the downward trend of the other coins. Being backed by one of the biggest exchange platforms lends it a certain credibility that is valued in the crypto industry. BNB’s success could also be to do with when Binance doubled its referral rewards for holders of the coin back in May.”
