Best Performing cryptocurrencies of week 15

On Friday, April 6^th, Bitcoin closing price was $6,600. The performance of Bitcoin has been good given that it hasn’t closed below $6,600 in the past week. In the morning hours of Friday, April 13^th, the crypto crossed the $8,000 price. This positive performance can be said of many altcoins including Ethereum which was trading in the range of $370 on 6^th but has since appreciated $513 on the 13^th of April. The same case goes for Litecoin and Ripple.

There are, however, those cryptos whose gains shadow what these major cryptocurrencies achieved in the past seven days. There is Bubble crypto which has gained 500%. Here, we are going to look into the cryptos that gained the most but whose volumes were well above $2 million. This means that Bnk of TheFuture, Fusion and Hexx will be skipped.
