Top 10 crypto performers today
Pi (PI)
Pi (PI) emerged as the top performer with an impressive price rise of 36.20% over yesterday. Key catalysts that fuelled this surge include an increase in purchaser activity, surging transaction volume, and Pi’s recent listing in Banxa.
Today, CoinGecko metrics show that Pi’s trading volume rose by 80.50% over the previous day, an indication of recent increased market participation from investors and traders. Yesterday, April 5, Pi Network announced a strategic collaboration with Banxa to allow users to buy Pi cryptocurrency directly using fiat money through their Pi wallets.
OKB (OKB)
The second on the list is OKB (OKB), which recorded a price increase of 5.60% over the period, a signal of robust investor interest. Its trading volume surged by 27.80% over yesterday, suggesting a recent increase of buyer activity within the platform.
The altcoin has been in an impressive uptrend momentum, as indicated by its weekly and monthly price charts. Its price has been up 11.0% and 25.2% over the past week and one month ago, respectively.
XDC Network (XDC)
XDC Network (XDC) took the third position with a price surge of 3.68%, making its value currently stand at $0.07018. Despite heightened volatility in the broader crypto market, XDC has been showing strength lately. The token’s value has been up 3.4% over the past seven days, an indicator of resilience and an increase in buying pressure.
Story (IP)
Story (IP) settled on the fourth place with a price hike of 3.41%, placing its value to currently hover at $4.21. This is not a mere single chance but is part of a continued positive trend happening within the network. Technical indicators show that IP appears to have completed a consolidation phase following an extended downward momentum noted over the past month. Story’s price has been down 22.9% and 12.7% over the past week and one month ago, respectively.
However, today’s gain is an indicator of a possible breakout movement. Maintaining the price above the support region of $3.81 could lay the foundation for a surge toward the resistance level of $4.41.
DeXe (DEXE)
Next is DeXe (DEXE), which registered a price jump of 2.88%, a reflection of strong market interest. One of the key factors fuelling this growth is its recent rollout of staking features in the newly revamped DeXe dApp. On March 31, the protocol disclosed that users have already staked more than $300 million in the staking platform that allows customers to earn staking incentives.
Others
Other crypto assets that also gained attention today following their impressive performance include MKR, BERA, KAIA, MNT, and TAO. While Maker (MKR) took the sixth position with a price growth of 2.69%, Berachain (BERA) followed it with a 1.33% price upswing.
Kaia (KAIA) settled on the eighth spot with a 0.65% price rise. Mantle (MNT) and Bittensor (TAO) took positions nine and 10, with price increases of 0.58% and 0.42%, respectively.
