Hello everyone, this is the Good Crypto team. Each crypto week is full of news and events, and we decided to summarize the past 7 days in our crypto weekly digest. Here you’ll find everything from weekly market summary and top news to the hottest new exchange listings and even memes to cheer you up.

Weekly Market Summary

The past crypto week has clearly been bullish: Bitcoin’s market cap increased to over $300 billion, which is more than the market cap of Zoom and PayPal and very close to Mastercard. If Bitcoin was a publicly traded company, it’d have been the 20th most valuable company in the world. Not bad for a 12-year old!

Other notable events included:

– Since 2011, $7.6 billion worth of cryptocurrencies have been stolen through hacks or scams, according to a new Crystal Blockchain report.

– Despite a DeFi cooldown, the amount of tokenized BTC on Ethereum increased 21% since September. 

$7.6B stolen

Since 2011, $7.6 billion worth of cryptocurrencies has been stolen through hacks or scams, according to a new Crystal Blockchain report. Approximately $2.8 billion was stolen through 113 security breaches, with a concentration of hacks taking place in the U.S., Japan, U.K., China, and South Korea. Another $4.8 billion was stolen through scams, with Crystal Blockchain identifying 23 prominent fraud schemes. Noting that the number of hacks and scams seems to be holding steady, malicious actors are growing more sophisticated. Proper insurance, reserve balances, in-house security teams, and blockchain analytics software are all recommended remedies.

Tokenization chill

Despite a DeFi cooldown, the amount of tokenized BTC on Ethereum (WBTC) increased by 21% since September. There is now well over 150,000 BTC, worth some $2.3 billion, on Ethereum. However, the trend has slowed significantly. Roughly $360 million worth of bitcoins was tokenized in October, compared to the $737 million tokenized in September, according to data from Dune Analytics. Notably, the tokenized amount was greater than the amount of the new BTC mined in that period for the third consecutive month.
