Renewed speculation and development progress contributed to double-digit weekly gains across Toncoin, Velo, Floki, and AI tokens.
Investors appear increasingly interested in projects that combine technology trends like AI, DeFi, and cross-border finance solutions.
Despite gains, analysts advise caution as short-term rallies may not guarantee lasting performance or long-term viability.
As market optimism shows signs of returning, four cryptocurrencies have emerged at the top of CoinMarketCap’s weekly trending chart. Toncoin (TON), Velo (VELO), Floki (FLOKI), and AI-related tokens have each posted significant weekly gains, some rising by as much as 70%. These assets have gained renewed interest from traders and observers, reflecting a larger shift in investor behavior. While no major headlines explain the collective surge, analysts say increased blockchain development and AI-related sentiment are major drivers.
Toncoin Surges as Ecosystem Activity Expands
Current value:$2.82
Market cap:$6.97B
Toncoin recorded a remarkable price upswing this week, outperforming several major altcoins in daily and weekly returns. Blockchain analysts noted an increase in ecosystem activity, especially in gaming and DeFi applications built on The Open Network. The network’s strong user engagement and recent updates have contributed to its growing traction among developers and users alike. Though not confirmed, growing speculation about institutional attention may have fueled Toncoin's upward pressure.
Velo Gains Momentum Amid Utility Expansion
Current value:$0.01331
Market cap: $98.31M
VELO, the token supporting the Velo protocol, experienced a phenomenal rally during the week. Market observers attribute the move to the platform’s recent expansion into new regional payment corridors in Southeast Asia. While the full impact of these developments remains uncertain, on-chain data suggests a growing number of wallet addresses and daily active users. Analysts warn, however, that current price levels may not reflect long-term fundamentals.
Floki Returns to Spotlight with Meme and Utility Appeal
Current value:$0.00007129
Market cap:$685.31M
Floki, a memecoin once driven mainly by hype, has seen a revival. Traders reported growing interest due to its mixed appeal of internet culture and developing utility features. The coin's market cap rose sharply, supported by high trading volumes across major exchanges. Some analysts say the comeback could reflect broader investor openness to speculative assets, especially during times of uncertain macroeconomic outlook.
AI Tokens See Growing Interest from Investors
Current value:$0.6668
Market cap:$1.59B
Artificial Intelligence-related tokens have also experienced an unparalleled surge, reflecting increased interest in AI integration within blockchain ecosystems. Projects offering AI-driven tools and decentralized learning mechanisms have posted dynamic market activity. Though specifics vary widely across platforms, shared interest in machine learning, automation, and data security seems to be uniting investors around these tokens. Market researchers warn of volatility but also see long-term innovation potential.
