Indices, and here's our Coin Desk Markets Week in review. Let's look at some key digital asset

takeaways from the week ending November 22nd. And stick around. We'll have additional analysis

continues to move higher, nearly reaching the $100,000 level after the announcement that

SEC Chair Gary Gensler would step down in January.
