CoinGecko, a prominent cryptocurrency tracking platform, recently shared a list of the 20 most popular altcoins based on user interest over the past week, reflecting a surge in activity across the market.
The cryptocurrency space has been experiencing notable growth, with Bitcoin crossing $100,000 for the first time, marking a historic moment that has further fueled interest in digital assets.
Altcoins have also benefitted from this momentum, with Hyperliquid (HYPE) leading the charge. Despite not being listed on major exchanges, it has quickly reached a market cap exceeding $4 billion. Close behind is XRP, which has gained significant attention due to its recent rally, followed by Sun Token, another standout from the Tron ecosystem that has seen a similar surge.
Other notable altcoins on the list include Virtuals Protocol, Sui, Ondo, and Fashion. Hedera and Solana also made appearances, along with Chainlink and Ethereum, two well-established names in the space.
Bitcoin itself continues to capture investor interest, while more niche projects like Pepe, Artificial Superintelligence Alliance, Render, Fantom, Dogecoin, Bittensor, Reserve Rights, and LayerZero are also trending.
This diverse group of altcoins highlights the broadening spectrum of interest in the cryptocurrency world, with both established and emerging projects gaining traction among users.
