Weekly Market Summary
thereum, the world’s second largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, has smashed past $4,000. On Monday, May, 10, the price rallied to $3,000. The next day it struck $3,500, and it’s been rising ever since. With a market cap of around $460 billion, Ethereum still plays second fiddle to Bitcoin.
The Ethereum blockchain enables the creation of a world of decentralized financial services through its pioneering use of smart contracts—self-enforcing bits of computer code. Thanks to Ethereum’s smart contracts, decentralized finance (DeFi) services have exploded over the past year.
During his opening monologue on the comedy show Saturday Night Live, Maye Musk jokingly told her son she hoped she wouldn’t be receiving any Dogecoin (DOGE) as part of her Mother’s Day gift that weekend.
Referring to his character as the “Dogefather,” Musk said prices had been soaring for Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), and DOGE, but was jokingly unable to provide an answer to SNL cast member Michael Che’s question on “What is Dogecoin?”.
After the opening monologue, the price of DOGE fell from $0.69 to under $0.50 for the first time since it had surpassed a half dollar in early May.

It’s part of the companies’ investment in a fintech firm called 360X. Deutsche Börse and Commerzbank plan to sell their first tokenized assets through the firm later this year.
Coinbase
Coinbase’s US customers can now buy crypto on the exchange via debit cards and bank accounts linked to PayPal.
Once a user chooses the relevant cryptocurrency they want to purchase, they would need to tap on the “add payment option” within the Coinbase app and select PayPal. After the user logs in to PayPal, they can add a debit card or bank account linked to their PayPal account. At that point, the user will be able to make a purchase of up to $25,000 every day using their PayPal account.

The OKB token is a utility token of the crypto exchange OKEx. OKB is issued by the OK- Blockchain Foundation. The foundation aims to build an ecosystem around the OKEx exchange to drive blockchain adoption.
In total, there are 300 million OKB tokens. In order for the token’s value to increase – or at least remain stable – the OKEx exchange buys back OKB tokens worth 30% of the exchange’s total collected spot trading fees at 3-month intervals. The tokens purchased in this way are subsequently “burned”, which means that they are sent to an address to which no one has access.
Effectively, the tokens are thus taken out of circulation, which increases the value of the circulating tokens.
