Maker (MKR) was the biggest gainer over the past seven days, up more than 20% at the time of writing, while Synthetix (SNX) and XDC Network (XDC) were the only other tokens showing double digit gains.
Total market volume ranged between $111B and $219B, slightly down on the previous week, but still significantly higher than late 2022.
