Hello, this is Markets Daily from CoinDesk.

I'm Noelle Atchison, and on today's show, we'll be turning it over to CoinDesk indices

for some weekly crypto market insights.

We'll be using Wondercraft AI voice for this episode. Just a reminder,

CoinDisc is a news source and does not provide investment advice.

WonderCraft AI voice here to give you three crypto markets takeaways from last week. And stick around at the end.

We'll have additional analysis from David Aderman, co-founder and managing partner of Omni Chain Capital.

First, Pluvichintam, quantitative analyst at CoinDesk, provides markets highlights as of Wednesday, December 27th.

Bitcoin has lagged over the holiday. The 184 asset, broad-based coin desk market index, is up

4.1% week-on-week, while Bitcoin is near flat, just up half a percent. Within the computing

sector, helium, down 19% week-on-week, and storage, down 24% week-on-week, have both given back

a not-insificant portion of their gains over the

holiday. Layer 1 smart contract platform Moon River leads the Coin Desk Market Index this week.

Moon River has more than tripled in value over the past seven days, which has brought the

Kusama parochains market cap well above $200 million. Stay tuned. After the break, we'll bring you expert analysis on this

week's takeaways, provided by David Aderman.
