The cryptocurrency market was influenced by Bitcoin’s BTC/USD stagnation last week, although certain coins staged remarkable gains.
What happened: CAKE, the token of the decentralized exchange PancakeSwap, topped the gainers’ list, returning a massive 62% to its holders in the last week.
The BNB Chain BNB/USD-based coin’s growth was catalyzed by a sharp jump in trading volumes on PancakeSwap, worth over $27 billion over the last week, according to DeFiLlama.
S, the native token of the high-speed blockchain platform Sonic, was the second-most successful coin, surging 33% over the week. Proof-of-work cryptocurrency Kaspa rallied over 25% to bag the third spot.
