- AVAX has claimed the crown as the week’s champion, leaving the competition in the dust.
- DOGE has plunged, making it this week’s biggest loser.
- ADA, XRP, BNB, and DOT have experienced milder losses, hinting at a complex market picture.
The top 10 cryptocurrencies (excluding stablecoins) presented a diverse picture over the past week, with some coins experiencing notable gains while others faced losses. Four coins climbed into positive territory in a market characterized by mixed signals, while six fell back.

Even Tron (TRX) managed a modest 2.4% gain, indicating a potential stabilization after recent fluctuations. Rounding out the winning roster was Bitcoin (BTC), the granddaddy of all cryptos, with a 2% price appreciation.
However, not all coins shared the positive sentiment. Dogecoin (DOGE), the meme-inspired cryptocurrency, took the hardest hit, plummeting 7%. Ethereum (ETH), the second-largest crypto by market cap, also suffered a 7% loss.
