PENGU, CKB, and SPA lead the week’s trend surge with 5x–10x increases in visibility on CoinMarketCap.
Mid-cap and niche tokens dominated the trend list, indicating shifting retail focus and possible early altseason behavior.
Engagement-driven gains, rather than price or TVL alone, fueled ranking boosts for lesser-known tokens like REI, TUT, and WEMIX.
CoinMarketCap’s weekly trend rankings have spotlighted ten cryptocurrencies that recorded outstanding visibility growth—ranging from 5x to 10x. The data reveals heightened user engagement, not always linked to price performance, but reflective of rising interest. Here’s a token-by-token breakdown.
PENGU – Unmatched Growth in Meme Sector
PENGU stood out as the most trending token this week, driven by viral momentum across X and Telegram. Despite low market cap, its exceptional community growth pushed the token into CoinMarketCap’s top trending spot. While price volatility remains, PENGU’s rising wallet activity signals increasing speculative traction.
CKB (Nervos Network) – Groundbreaking Development Focus
Nervos Network’s CKB token posted a remarkable spike in trend data. Known for its layered blockchain structure, CKB gained traction amid increased developer interest and upcoming Layer 2 integrations. The project’s growing GitHub activity likely contributed to its superior ranking this week.
SPA (Sperax) – Innovative Stablecoin Infrastructure
Sperax, which focuses on yield-bearing stablecoins, experienced a sharp rise in user searches and interactions. Its native token, SPA, benefited from a series of protocol updates and DeFi integrations, making it one of the week’s most innovative gainers. No major price move accompanied the trend boost, underscoring speculative tracking.
SUI – Remarkable Institutional and Developer Interest
Sui remained among the top trending due to increasing TVL and wallet expansion. The Layer-1 blockchain, which utilizes the Move programming language, saw steady growth from DeFi onboarding and dApp launches. Institutional developers continue to monitor its infrastructure, boosting its unparalleled visibility on CoinMarketCap.
REI – High-Yield Speculative Rebound
REI Network gained rapid trend momentum, recording a strong 5x+ surge in visibility. Its modular blockchain structure and lightweight design attracted attention, particularly from mobile and cross-chain app developers. The price remained range-bound, but the spike in trend suggests retail is watching closely.
TUT (Tutellus) – Educational Use Case Drives Exposure
Tutellus, a decentralized learning and development platform, posted one of the most dynamic trend jumps. With renewed attention on utility tokens for education, TUT gained from use case exposure rather than trading volume. This reflects an unmatched niche appeal amid broader market rotation.
HBAR (Hedera) – Premier Enterprise Connections Fuel Search Volume
Hedera Hashgraph’s HBAR re-entered trend discussions following circulating reports of new enterprise-level collaborations. While the Hedera team remained silent, community forums and third-party updates drove speculation. Its superior throughput and unique consensus model support continued visibility among developers and institutions.
TRU (TrueFi) – RWA Narrative Boosts Appeal
TrueFi, a real-world asset (RWA) lending protocol, gained phenomenal trend traction amid rising DeFi narratives around on-chain credit. TRU’s inclusion in conversations surrounding tokenized debt and permissionless lending platforms lifted its CoinMarketCap exposure significantly.
BEAM – Profitable Growth from DeFi and Wallet Metrics
Beam’s inclusion was driven by elevated wallet activity and a new DeFi proposal announced earlier this week. It showed consistent performance in user onboarding and dApp ecosystem expansion. The token’s profitable week in engagement metrics outpaced any major price movement.
WEMIX – Groundbreaking GameFi Ecosystem Momentum
WEMIX rounded out the list with a stellar push, boosted by new gaming partnerships and NFT developments. Its trend boost reflects surging interest in GameFi platforms and tokenized entertainment. Despite no notable price surge, the token’s innovative application in Web3 gaming underpinned the rise in visibility.
