Cosmos (ATOM) has taken first place on the list of gainers of the day as the price of the asset went up 14 percent in the last 24 hours, to $3.11. Cosmos (ATOM) has gained 6.22 percent in the last 7 days with a strong trading volume of 162 million dollars, and a market capitalization of 1.49 billion dollars. 

Cosmos recovered sharply but reaffirms that there is renewed interest in mature infrastructure tokens as liquidity returns to large-cap altcoins.

Artificial Superintelligence Alliance Extends Gains with Strong Market Support

Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (FET) continued to have a high upside momentum as it rose to a value of $0.3281 after a 11 percent increase in price over a day just below Cosmos. FET increased 4 percent on a weekly basis. 

With a market cap of $774 million and a volume of $311 million in 24 hours it is well represented in the market with the AI token being well established in the list of top performers today.

Zcash Delivers One of the Strongest Weekly Rallies After Cosmos & FET

Zcash (ZEC) had extended its impressive performance by increasing 9.20 percent in 24 hours, which brought the price to $672. The token had a relatively small hourly move but it has shown a very impressive seven-day increase of 34.73 percent. 

Zcash is currently ranked as the most aggressively traded privacy coin in the market that has a market capitalization of over $10 billion and a 24-hour trading volume of over $2.17 billion. Its bullish spirit is supported by its robust technical movement of high-liquidity altcoins.

Pi Network Gains Steadily with Rising Community Activity

Pi (PI) maintained a positive momentum, whereby, its price rose to $0.2438 having increased by 7.37 percent in the past 24 hours. The token recorded a 8.20 percent growth in the last one week. Pi registered $72 million of 24-hour volume and $2.02 billion of a market cap. 

The community-based traction has remained intact, and Pi has remained on the list of gainers in the current top gainers list.

Starknet Emerges as a Breakout Performer with Massive Weekly Growth

Starknet (STRK) jumped 6.39 percent in 24 hours to $0.2507 with slight hourly decline. Its 82.17 percent weekly performance was staggering and one of the best on major layer-two networks. 

The daily volume of Starknet was worth $906 million, and the market capitalization was $1.14 billion. Increased developer traffic and scaling usage are continuing to fuel this consistent increasing trend.

Worldcoin, Pump.fun, NEAR, Aptos and Curve DAO Complete the Gainer Lineup

Worldcoin (WLD) gained 4.78 percent over the last day in 24 hours and is currently trading at $0.6986 with a solid trade volume of $130 million. 

Pump.fun (PUMP) experienced the 4.50 percent increase to $0.003212 with a trade volume of $227 million, indicating further speculation despite the 17 percent dip in a week. NEAR Protocol (NEAR) gained momentum with a 3.73 percent day-to-day increase to $2.36 and recorded 24 24-hour volume of 475 million. 
Aptos (APT) improved by 3.77 percent to make it to 2.98 and realized a volume of 130.43 million within 24 hours signifying liquidity infusion again. Curve DAO Token (CRV) was the last entrant in the list, climbing up by 3.04 percent to $0.4433 with a trading volume of 112 million, which was aided by the increased activity in DeFi markets.

Zcash (ZEC) Rips While Bitcoin Dips — Can This Privacy Coin Run 49% Higher

Zcash (ZEC) Rips While Bitcoin Dips — Can This Privacy Coin Run 49% Higher

Zcash has seen a strong surge in recent weeks as demand for privacy coins grows across the market. ZEC’s rise stands out due to its limited correlation with Bitcoin, allowing it to perform independently during periods of volatility.  This unique behavior has fueled renewed interest and helped strengthen ZEC’s upward momentum. Zcash Is Independent Zcash’s correlation with Bitcoin currently sits at -0.78, signaling a strong negative relationship. This means ZEC is moving in the opposite direction of BTC, which is highly beneficial at a time when Bitcoin is trading near $90,000 after several days of decline. ZEC’s ability to decouple from BTC enables it to avoid broader market pullbacks. This negative correlation has remained intact since early November, reinforcing ZEC’s resilience. As long as the correlation stays below zero, Zcash will be less vulnerable to Bitcoin-driven sell-offs.  Want more token insights like this?

Zcash’s liquidation map reveals that short sellers should approach the market with caution. If ZEC climbs to $788, roughly $51 million worth of short positions could be liquidated. This creates an additional incentive for traders to avoid bearish strategies. Large liquidation clusters often discourage short positions and can fuel further upside as forced liquidations amplify price movement. For ZEC, reaching these levels would disrupt bearish sentiment and provide additional support for continued appreciation. Zcash Liquidation Map. Source: Coinglass ZEC Price Has A Lot Of Room To Grow Zcash trades at $671, sitting just below the $700 resistance level. The altcoin has gained 65.5% since the start of the month. This reflects strong market participation and growing interest from both retail and institutional traders. If momentum continues, ZEC could rise toward $1,000, which sits 49% above current levels. Achieving this target within 10 days is possible if investor support remains consistent. To reach $1,000, ZEC must first break through and convert the $700, $800, and $900 levels into support.

A deeper correction may push the price toward $520, invalidating the current bullish thesis, leaving the altcoin vulnerable to a crash.

ETH's "Zhou Tianzi" Dilemma and SOL's "Entrepreneurship Blog" Rise

ETH's "Zhou Tianzi" Dilemma and SOL's "Entrepreneurship Blog" Rise

First, it should be clarified that both I and my organization hold both ETH and SOL, so holding SOL doesn't give me the right to criticize ETH. ETH's problems are long-standing and won't be ignored by the market simply because of previous hype. Ethereum resembles a feudal, international NGO—bureaucratic, decentralized, and focused on procedural justice. Vitalik Buterin is like the Zhou emperor, prematurely losing centralized power, turning L2 into feudal lords, with very limited proportions of their finances being remitted to the central government. It's even somewhat similar to the Commonwealth of Independent States after the collapse of the Soviet Union, or the Commonwealth of Nations after the fall of the British Empire, though even that connection is barely tenuous. Furthermore, will ETH become like IBM? Microsoft, Amazon, and Nvidia are all worth trillions, while IBM is still sitting there: it's a very branded company, exporting technology and empowering others everywhere, but ultimately its business isn't about taking the entire market (the tax model is the strongest business, like Amazon taxing merchant transactions, and Google taxing global merchants' advertising spending), but rather becoming an organization that licenses tech licenses (and ETH licenses are free, so everyone can use EVM). Another recurring issue is the developer culture where those who are close to the foundation and can flaunt their relationship with it are considered to have "legitimacy" and can enjoy more favor from investors and the community. This centripetal, sycophantic culture runs counter to Ethereum's original mission. Furthermore, I overheard some private conversations among major Wall Street institutions that Wall Street players are coming to ETH for two reasons. Firstly, it's the oldest, most reliable, and reputable public blockchain. Secondly, many of them want to launch permission chains, and ETH's technology in this area has been proven over many years. This approach is essentially using ETH like IBM; it seems that the thinking of Wall Street institutions is remarkably similar to that of Chinese financial institutions. In contrast, Solana exhibits a typical startup team culture—focused, efficient, and with strong execution. Its business model is a unified, integrated system, with a single coin supporting the entire system. Its developer culture resembles Burning Man: young, passionate, and highly experimental, closer to campus hacker culture. From a team and culture perspective, I still feel Solana is more like a multinational tech startup team. Regardless, in the end, everyone is working together to put global assets on the blockchain. Competition is a good thing for all of us.
