Huobi Token (HT) has seen over 29% increase in the last 7 days, its price constantly spurred on by TRON founder Justin Sun calling to empower the coin. A recent major announcement was the merger of Huobi's Heco network with Justin Sun's TRON and BitTorrent networks, with a capital investment to encourage developers of these networks to work together. Meanwhile, JASMY token has fallen more than 16% over the last 7 days as trading volume continues to decline in the wider crypto market.

Market Analysis

Bitcoin (BTC) generally hovered above $19k this week, unusually stable as investors continued to consider high inflation, a downtrodden yen and a U.K. government in turmoil, which have caused volatility in traditional markets. Data showed that bitcoin’s 30-day price volatility is now almost identical to that of the U.K.’s currency. In the derivatives market, BTC open interest has increased $368 million while aggregated funding rates turned positive as compared to the previous week, as traders allow in some optimism at BTC’s lack of volatility. This week, a total of $179 million shorts were liquidated as compared to $225 million longs.
