The crypto market is completely volatile which is why one might lose track of several prominent price action updates every now and then. Therefore, we have decided to provide a weekly update of the 10 top crypto coins every week. It sums up the price actions at large. In addition, our weekly crypto update would contain important developments in the crypto domain, if any.
10 Top Crypto Coins
The top 10 crypto coins have been filtered according to the ranking provided by CoinMarketCap, a leading crypto price tracking website, and their market valuation. Some of them are accompanied by 7-day performance charts for better understanding. Also, this week’s cryptocurrency update will feature digital currencies from different sectors.
Bitcoin (BTC)
The list of 10 top crypto coins would indeed be incomplete without mentioning the first and largest cryptocurrency, Bitcoin (BTC).

Earlier on Thursday, July 21, 2022, the BTC coin experienced a downtrend amid a crypto crash session. The situation became worse when Tesla revealed that it sold about 75% of its Bitcoin holdings worth $2 billion. After a series of up and down price actions, BTC managed to gain 9.36% value in the week. The digital currency giant is still not much distant to its week’s opening value of $21,195.04.

XRP (XRP)
The most controversial crypto, XRP, also made it into the list of 10 top crypto coins owing to its popularity and recent price actions.

Earlier in the week, news broke stating that U.S. Congressman Brad Sherman, also the Chairperson of the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Investor Protection, recently requested the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to chase major crypto exchanges listing XRP. It was a move concerning the debate of whether XRP is a security or not. Since the SEC believes that it certainly is a security, Sherman urged such action from it.
Cardano (ADA)
Cardano (ADA), the Yoroi Wallet hero, saw a red close like that of many others on the list. The ADA dropped by 5.77% and traded at $0.4797 on Saturday. The market valuation of the coin stood at $16.1 billion, dipping by 5.54%. In addition, the 24-hour trade volume decreased considerably by 8.66% and was at $753.15 million.
