Top Performers
- Hashflow (HFT) is today’s strongest performer, rallying 66.3% in the last 24 hours and up a remarkable 142.5% over the past week, according to data at the time of writing. Trading at $0.1311, Hashflow is gaining traction amid renewed DeFi momentum and increasing speculation around protocol upgrades.
- Maverick Protocol (MAV) posted a strong 33.8% daily gain, adding to its 31.5% seven-day increase, despite a short-term dip of 3.4% in the last hour. With its price at $0.05951, MAV remains a high-interest asset among momentum traders.
- Pudgy Penguins (PENGU), a meme and NFT-linked token, climbed 6.4% in 24 hours and an impressive 47.6% on the week, now trading at $0.01457. Its resurgence aligns with renewed enthusiasm in NFT-based tokens.
Trending Despite Pullbacks
- Arbitrum (ARB) is holding at $0.3266, showing a minor 0.5% uptick in 1h, though it fell 11.2% on the day. Its weekly gain of 4.1% suggests steady longer-term interest tied to L2 adoption narratives.
- Solana (SOL) remains a top-trending asset, priced at $148.90. It posted a slight daily loss of 1.0%, though weekly strength (+3.1%) persists as SOL continues to lead among alt L1s.
- Ethereum (ETH), currently at $2,449.54, saw a marginal 0.6% dip in 24h, with an overall weekly gain of 1.6%. Continued buzz around staking, ETF inflows, and L2 integrations keeps ETH in the spotlight.
Rising Projects to Watch
- Fragmetric (FRAG) entered the trending list with a 2.7% 24h gain, trading at $0.1493. While relatively unknown, rising searches suggest early speculation.
- Hyperliquid (HYPE), known for its decentralized perpetuals infrastructure, gained 6.0% this week despite a modest 1.7% daily dip, trading now at $39.32.
Summary
Today’s trending list underscores a growing appetite for high-beta altcoins, with Hashflow, Maverick Protocol, and Pudgy Penguins leading the pack. Despite the relative calm in Bitcoin and Ethereum, traders are rotating capital into emerging assets and narratives, from DeFi protocols to meme-driven projects.
With attention increasingly shifting to performance-based breakouts and ecosystem activity, smaller tokens with strong catalysts are commanding the spotlight. As always, traders should monitor volumes and technical levels closely as volatility remains high and sentiment fragile across the broader crypto space.
