Altcoins Are Gaining Strength Again: Here Are the Tokens That Stood Out This Week

The recent recovery in the crypto market has brought several altcoins back into the spotlight of investors. Supported by technical indicators, on-chain developments, and institutional backing, these altcoins have posted notable price increases over the past week. Here is a summary of the top-performing altcoins worth watching.

Hyperliquid (HYPE)

According to CryptoRank, Hyperliquid (HYPE) led this week’s altcoin rally with a +7.78% gain. As reported by CCN, a large-scale purchase worth US$6 million by whale investors contributed to the token’s price surge. The expansion of cross-margin features and the growth of its permissionless markets are seen as positive catalysts that could sustain HYPE’s upward momentum in the coming weeks.

Sui (SUI)

SUI recorded a +7.42% increase over the past week. This price jump was driven by the launch of the new Kiosk NFT protocol and a rising Total Value Locked (TVL) within its DeFi ecosystem. CryptoRank highlighted that these factors reflect ongoing growth momentum, although the sustainability of its long-term trend will still need to be monitored closely.

Pepe (PEPE)

As one of the most iconic memecoins, PEPE soared once again with a +7.34% gain over the past week. According to IndiaTimes, renewed capital inflows from large investors have fueled a rally in the memecoin sector, benefiting PEPE. From a technical standpoint, if PEPE breaks through the US$0.000013 resistance level, it has the potential to extend its rally by up to +50%, although high volatility remains a significant factor.

Arbitrum (ARB)

Arbitrum (ARB) posted a +7.04% weekly increase, supported by its integration with Orbit Chain and the efforts of the Arbitrum DAO community to expand Layer-2 adoption on Ethereum. According to CCN, a whale ranked among the top 20 ARB holders added 77 million tokens, valued at approximately US$27 million, to their portfolio—further boosting market confidence.

Hedera (HBAR)

Hedera (HBAR) closed the week with a +6.70% gain, according to CryptoRank. This growth was driven by positive sentiment surrounding Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) projects and enterprise partnerships that are expanding Hedera’s network utility. Technically, strong support around the US$0.10 level opens the possibility for further gains toward the US$0.13 to US$0.15 range.
