Each week, I track the 100 biggest cryptocurrencies listed on CoinMarketCap. Here are this week’s movers and shakers.

It has been the blackest week on the crypto markets since last year’s Bitcoin halving. The youngest event that rivaled this crash was in March 2020, when practically all financial markets suffered from the looming COVID-19 crisis.
