Top 10 Crypto Assets by Growth Over Seven Days
At the time of preparing this material, the leader of the ranking was the token of the Ethena project ($ENA) — over the week it increased in price by 100.75%, to $0.167. The asset's market capitalization reached about $1.63 billion.
Besides the overall growth of the crypto market, the project's token's strong increase is occurring against the backdrop of the expansion of the Ethena ecosystem. In particular, Coinbase earlier announced a strategic partnership with the project, which involves launching products based on the USDe stablecoin for more than 100 million of the exchange's users. Also, Coinbase invested in Ethena for the first time by purchasing $ENA tokens on the open market.
At the same time, the top three also included:
- pump.fun ($PUMP) — +88.11%, to $0.0052;
- Stacks ($STX) — +82.76%, to $0.22.
The $PUMP token by market cap has already exceeded $2 billion, while the market cap of $STX is over $405 million.
Fourth place was taken by Official Trump ($TRUMP) with an increase of 79.12% — to $2.50. The asset's market capitalization is about $628 million.
Against this backdrop, the token previously came under pressure due to criticism from US lawmakers and Nansen data. Analysts estimated the cumulative losses of nearly 1 million investors in $TRUMP at $3.81 billion, while Senators Elizabeth Warren and Richard Blumenthal called on the SEC to investigate the project.
Fifth place was taken by Zcash (ZEC) — the asset grew by 66.51%, to $810.55. Its market capitalization exceeded $13.6 billion.
The top ten also included:
- LayerZero (ZRO) — +61.87%, to $1.25;
- Pepe (PEPE) — +53.13%;
- $XRP ($XRP) — +47.78%, to $1.47;
- Aave ($AAVE) — +44.59%, to $124.17;
- Lighter (LIT) — +42.78%, to $3.3.
Thus, among the ten largest weekly profitable crypto assets, there are tokens of DeFi and infrastructure projects, as well as meme coins and large-cap assets.
At the same time, $XRP and Aave became the largest assets by market capitalization in the presented top ten — $92.78 billion and $1.91 billion respectively.
Zcash stands out separately, which added almost two-thirds in value over seven days and rose to $810.55. The growth occurred after the deployment of the Ironwood update in the network at block height 3,428,144. The upgrade was aimed at eliminating a vulnerability in the Orchard pool and creating a new shielded pool, into which funds must be transferred.
