Top Altcoins Surging as Crypto Market Enters New Wave of AI-Fueled Growth
09.10.2025 16:55 2 min. read Kosta Gushterov
The crypto market is entering another wave of volatility, with several mid-cap altcoins posting triple-digit weekly gains as liquidity floods back into high-risk sectors.
A mix of institutional inflows, AI-driven speculation, and new exchange listings has revived trader enthusiasm after weeks of subdued activity. CoinMarketCap’s latest momentum data highlights a clear shift in sentiment, from defensive positioning to aggressive opportunity-seeking across emerging assets.
Zcash: Institutions Rekindle Interest in Privacy Coins
Zcash has staged one of its strongest rallies in years, soaring 37% in 24 hours and nearly 300% in the past month. Renewed trust from institutions, led by Grayscale’s reopened ZEC Trust and THORSwap’s cross-chain integration, has reignited the privacy narrative. The coin has now cleared major resistance levels, with RSI confirming a sustained uptrend.
With regulatory pressure on privacy assets easing and Zcash’s halving set for November 2025, analysts expect continued demand from long-term holders looking for scarcity-driven plays.
ChainOpera AI: AI Tokens Dominate Market Focus
Artificial intelligence-linked tokens continue to capture market attention, with ChainOpera AI leading the charge after listings on Binance and Bybit. Daily gains near 50% and a weekly rise exceeding 1,600% have made it one of the most actively traded altcoins of the month.
A surge in derivatives volume, topping $6 billion, reflects mounting retail and institutional interest in the AI narrative. However, with its RSI above 80 and valuation near $4 billion FDV, profit-taking risk is growing.
PoP Planet: Microcaps Thrive on Exchange Hype
Smaller-cap tokens are also riding the wave. PoP Planet climbed 27% following its Gate.io debut and token airdrop, drawing speculative traders into short-term momentum plays. Volume nearly doubled overnight, though post-listing volatility remains high as 50% of its supply remains locked in mining pools.
Upcoming unlocks will test market conviction, either reinforcing scarcity or triggering short-term sell pressure.
