Today, market analyst CoinMarketCap identified top crypto gainers over the week, showing new developments in the larger digital assets landscape. Based on the data reported by the analyst, the cryptocurrency space experienced a mixed momentum as only a few digital assets delivered remarkable gains in the last seven days, while the majority of markets recalled their performance.
Today, June 28, 2028, the crypto market capitalization stands at $2.08 trillion, a huge fall from the peak of $4.27 trillion noticed on October last year. This slip that brought the current market cap down to $2.08 trillion highlights a wider bearish market sentiment, further indicated by BTC and ETH prices, which currently trade at $60,201 and $1,577, respectively. Despite bears remaining firmly in control in the wider market, the analyst identified some assets that performed well throughout the past week, showing investor conviction in their respective networks.
VELVET, BEAT, and DEXE Shine
Velvet (VELVET)
According to CoinMarketCap data, VELVET, the native token of the Velvet ecosystem, emerged as the cryptocurrency with the top price performance over the week. VELVET experienced a massive 244.04% price rise in the last seven days, showcasing significant enthusiasm in its AI-powered DeFi trading platform. The catalyst behind this explosive surge is the mixture of retail FOMO and smart money accumulation following the partnership between Velvet and Aerodrome Finance. The strategic collaboration that occurred last week on Wednesday, June 24, enabled Velvet to route trades through Aerodrome, fueling liquidity and trading engagement on its DeFi ecosystem.
Audiera (BEAT)
Moving down, the CMC data identified BEAT, the native token of the AI music platform Audiera, as the second-best crypto performer over the past week, up 63.95% in the last seven days. This impressive performance shows that the BEAT token continues to go through a serious accumulation phase, which so far has enabled it to pump its price 158.9% over the past 30 days, according to CoinGecko data. The surge appears as unstoppable momentum driven by persistent aggressive buying pressure.
DeXe (DEXE)
Third on the list is DeXe (DEXE) , a decentralized social trading platform, which rose by 54.86% on the last seven days. This indicates that the asset continues to attract user attention, captivated by its sustained climbs. CoinGecko data today revealed that DEXE rose 20.8% in the last 30 days and 154.0% over the past 12 months, a solid performance that keeps drawing in lots of traders with buying activity. Furthermore, Santiment data shared on Friday pointed out that daily active addresses have climbed to a new all-time high, indicating the Dexe network is experiencing strong user participation driven by increased whale activity and retail engagement.
Other Top Market Performers
Despite the persistence of bearish pressure across the broader crypto markets, the CMC data listed other assets with outstanding performance over the week, including Aave (AAVE), which rose by 21.78% in the last seven days. Lighter (LIT) and Jito (JTO) also maintain their traction as indicated by 14.90% and 10.48% surges, respectively.
