FLUX, SFP and Badger DAO surge even as Bitcoin price falls to $47K

The yearlong mantra that the crypto market would see a dip to the top in December has proven to be a failure so far and for the last week most cryptocurrencies have been under selling pressure and Bitcoin (BTC) has difficulty negotiating above $ 47,000.

That said, it is not all bad news for crypto holders on Friday because various altcoins have managed to post double-digit gains due to new exchange listings and protocol updates.
