5 of the biggest stories of the week – Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, VeChain, IOTA and Ripple (XRP)

• The crypto market has been moving sideways with a few exceptions such as Dogecoin which grabbed headlines during the week owing to Twitter and Elon Musk.
• Ripple continues to edge closer to an end on its case brought forth by the SEC, a ceremonious occasion that will see XRP prices soar.

The greater crypto market has been moving sideways over the last week. Historically, Bitcoin (BTC) has dictated the movement of the larger crypto market. In the last week, Bitcoin has been unable to break away from the $28,000 resistance level. Despite the slow movement from a majority of top coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum, others such as Dogecoin (DOGE) have dominated with astronomical surges.

In the latest CNF Brief, we take a look at some of the biggest headlines and their potential impact.

The switch was hugely celebrated across the crypto community. It was an illustration of Elon Musk’s commitment to see Twitter embrace cryptocurrencies beginning with his favorite digital asset, Dogecoin.

With hundreds of millions of users visiting Twitter on a daily basis, Dogecoin received its first official mega publicity since Elon Musk acquired the social media platform for $44 billion in cash last year.
