Bitcoin Was Muted, Dogecoin Spiked, But The Icing On The 'Cake' Last Week Was A 62% Rally In This Token

The cryptocurrency market was influenced by Bitcoin's (CRYPTO: BTC) stagnation last week, although certain coins staged remarkable gains.

What happened: CAKE, the token of the decentralized exchange PancakeSwap, topped the gainers’ list, returning a massive 62% to its holders in the last week.

The BNB Chain (CRYPTO: BNB)-based coin's growth was catalyzed by a sharp jump in trading volumes on PancakeSwap, worth over $27 billion over the last week, according to DeFiLlama.

S, the native token of the high-speed blockchain platform Sonic, was the second-most successful coin, surging 33% over the week. Proof-of-work cryptocurrency Kaspa rallied over 25% to bag the third spot.


Cryptocurrency Gains +/- Price
PancakeSwap (CRYPTO: CAKE) +62.70% $2.74
Sonic (S) +33.56% $0.5462
Kaspa (CRYPTO: KAS) +25.98% $0.1099

XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) clocked double-digit gains of 11.55%, while Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) grew 6.17%, following the SEC's acknowledgment of their respective Grayscale ETF applications.
