“One week in crypto feels like a year.” – a wise man

Welcome to the Weekly Roundup!

Every Wednesday we will provide a snapshot into the last 168 hours in the world of cryptocurrency and Invest In Blockchain!

This past week, the market continued its “perma-bull” stage with all-time highs for Bitcoin and Litecoin. We also witnessed a new coin join the top five. Following IOTA’s announcement regarding a partnership with Microsoft, they quickly pushed their way into the #5 spot on the Top 100. The bull market didn’t stop there. The market as a whole saw a $26 billion increase which gave majority of the coins in the ecosystem a boost!

Our writer Mike Hulleman breaks down the good, the bad, and the ugly.
