Bitcoin, Dogecoin Ended Last Week On A Gloomy Note But These Coins Remained Resilient
The cryptocurrency market saw multiple headwinds last week, resulting in a large decline in market value. However, a few coins overcame the slump to post significant gains. What happened: HYPE, the native token of the decentralized exchange Hyperliquid, topped the biggest gainers list, rallying 7.5% over the week. The coin accumulated massive gains of 586% over the last year Hyperliquid is a decentralized trading platform that utilizes its own Layer-1 blockchain. Ethereum ETH/USD-based DEXE token was the second-highest gainer, marginally trailing HYPE in weekly returns. Like HYPE, DEXE was coming off a successful 2024, with a 625% increase over the year. DeXe is the governance token of the DeXe Protocol—a tool used for creating and governing decentralized autonomous organizations. Similarly, OM, the token associated with the layer-1 blockchain MANTRA, rallied over 6% to become the third-most cryptocurrency in the last 24 hours.
