Bitcoin (BTC)
The list of 10 top crypto coins would indeed be incomplete without special mention of the first and largest cryptocurrency, Bitcoin (BTC). The crypto giant saw a gain on Saturday and therefore wrapped up the week with an uptrend. However, the magnitude of increase in value was not that large compared to that of Thursday.

The crypto behemoth also in the week surged when the news of the slower pace of Fed interest rate hikes came in. This was one of the main reasons why it managed to increase by over 25% in July.

XRP (XRP)
The most controversial crypto, XRP, also made it into the list of 10 top crypto coins due to its popularity and recent price actions. On the closing day of the week, the XRP token followed the bullish trend. The XRP crypto rose by 0.89% and traded at $0.3722. The market valuation of the coin stood at $17.9 billion, rising by 0.89%.

Last 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. Thereafter, this week, SEC probed into Coinbase to check whether it lists securities on its platform or not. Both these events are thought to be connected to each other.
