July 2026 turned out to be quite successful for the crypto market. While Bitcoin was trading below $60,000 at the beginning of the month, by August its quotes were consistently holding above this level. However, it is worth understanding that conditions for forming a sustained bullish trend are currently absent.
Although on July 29th, the Fed left its key rate unchanged for the 5th consecutive time, the rhetoric of the agency's representatives made it clear that the American regulator does not intend to rush with easing monetary policy. Be that as it may, it is time to sum up the month. This article discusses the cryptocurrencies that demonstrated the best and worst market dynamics in July.
The undisputed leader in terms of growth dynamics was the cryptocurrency Iota (SN9), which increased in value by 5460%. This coin is closely tied to the Bittensor ecosystem. It was created for the decentralized training of large artificial intelligence models. SN9 is used as an economic asset. The token supports the incentive system and allows investors to participate in the project's development.
Next is Score (SN44), which added 4220% during the reporting period. This is another token associated with the Bittensor network. The project is focused on football competitions and develops a decentralized computer vision system. The point is that the project processes video recordings of football matches, recognizes players and the ball, tracks movements, and records data about events on the field. However, this ecosystem can be used in various fields, from analytics to scouting.
Third place was taken by the coin Akedo (AKE), which appreciated by 919%. This is the utility cryptocurrency of the eponymous platform for creating games using artificial intelligence. A user describes an idea in text, and specialized AI agents design the virtual world, rules, balance, and plot without manual programming. Subsequently, a network participant can monetize their content. From the perspective of growth dynamics, it also makes sense to note the following cryptocurrencies:
- Talus (US): +471%.
- EfficientFrontier (SN53): +275%.
As for the anti-leaders, first of all, it's worth highlighting $LAB ($LAB), which lost 98% during the reporting period. This is the utility token of the eponymous platform. It combines a browser terminal, a mobile application, and a Telegram bot, allowing users to conduct spot and perpetual deals across different blockchains through a single interface. The token is used in the reward system and referral program.
Next is the coin DeXe (DEXE), whose decline during the reporting period amounted to 88%. This is the utility cryptocurrency of a protocol for creating and managing various DAOs. The platform allows launching communities without programming knowledge, configuring voting parameters, and distributing roles among participants.
Closing the list of anti-leaders is the coin ETHGas (GWEI), which became cheaper by 87% over the month. This is the utility token of a platform that allows purchasing and reserving blockchain space on the Ethereum network. Holders of the cryptocurrency can participate in voting for protocol updates and resource distribution within the ecosystem. From the perspective of decline dynamics, it is also worth noting such crypto coins:
- Solstice (SLX): –80%.
- Cortex (CX): –79%.
