The cryptocurrency market saw a significant increase in some altcoins in the last 24 hours even as there is uncertainty in the larger market. The CoinMarketCap Gainers Leaderboard indicates that Polygon (POL), JasmyCoin (JASMY) and Maple Finance (SYRUP) are the leaders in terms of their performance and revenue by capturing large amounts of trading activity and interest from investors.
Polygon Takes the Lead with 14.41% Surge
With a 14.41% increase in price, Polygon (MATIC) has taken over as the leading gainer for the day, as of $0.1456. Polygon’s Layer-2 scaling solution saw an increase in trading volume with trading occurring at more than $213 million in the past 24 hours. The increase in price is a result of Polygon’s commitment to creating a supportive environment for developers building Decentralized applications (DApps) on Ethereum by providing a low-cost and fast transaction network for those building DApps on Ethereum.
The token’s current momentum reflects increased interest from large institutions in Layer-2’s and at the same time, Ethereum has continued to experience bottlenecks from network congestion even when transaction volume rises. With more partnerships forming with Polygon and the POL token switched to POL, this gives many investors renewed confidence that Polygon has a long-term growth opportunity.
Mid Cap Tokens Show Strong Performance
JasmyCoin (JASMY) gained an impressive 7.18% increase to have a price of $0.008984 with a total 24-hour trading volume of almost $148.6 million as of this time. This Tokyo-based company has gained popularity lately as many companies are implementing Blockchain technology in their Internet of Things (IoT) products.
Maple Finance (SYRUP) was close behind with a 5.04% gain to $0.3955, evidenced by an ongoing strong market interest in DeFi lending protocols. The Company’s emphasis on lending at an institutional level creates a distinct position in an environment which is very competitive. Today’s trading volume of $25.7 million shows an ongoing interest in this area of the market.
Established Projects Continue to Show Constant Gains
Tezos (XTZ) recorded a gain of 4.15% while Monero (XMR) rose by 4.03%. Tezos is now trading at $0.5807 with a trading volume of over $35 million and Monero has seen huge trading activity of $132 million and currently trading at $461.70.
Market analysts indicate a growing confidence in the altcoin recovery indicating that there is an improvement in the overall risk sentiment for cryptocurrency traders; however, the volatility within digital asset markets remains high.
Conclusion
The most recent gainers indicate that opportunities exist in every market condition, including unfavorable ones. Interest for a project or product in the Web3 space continues to rise, due to the continued advancement of this technology. Today’s gains also reaffirm the need for investors to have a diverse portfolio and utilize a solid foundation of research, or a strong basis for performing thorough, detailed research, in an unpredictable market.
