On Monday, Sept. 23, 2024, the crypto market reached a total value of $2.22 trillion, marking a 1.3% increase in just 24 hours. Over the past week, bitcoin (BTC) climbed 8.7% against the U.S. dollar, while ether (ETH) enjoyed an impressive 15.8% rise. However, other digital currencies outshined both top coins, posting even larger gains.
Biggest Crypto Movers of the Week: CEL Surges, BNX Slides
Celsius network’s token (CEL), tied to the now-defunct Celsius firm, skyrocketed 339% against the dollar, making it the only three-digit performer over the last seven days. Trailing CEL was paal ai (PAAL) with a 73% increase.
Immutable X (IMX) saw its value jump 48%, while sui crypto (SUI) moved up by 42%. Other notable gainers included ARKM (+41.25%), AERO (+38.95%), APT (+37.09%), and MOG (+29.06%).
Beyond BTC, ETH, and stablecoins, SOL was the leader in trading volume this week, followed closely by BNB, XRP, SUI, DOGE, NEAR, PEPE, and ONDO. Despite the general market upswing, a few tokens—around six—took a hit, losing between 5% and 15%.
Binaryx (BNX) was the biggest loser, dropping 15.04% against the U.S. dollar. Catizen (CATI) followed with a 14.10% loss, while trust wallet token (TWT) fell by 11.51%.
Dogs (DOGS) shed 10.43%, fasttoken (FTN) slipped by 7.71%, and rollbit coin (RLB) dipped 5.55% in the past week. Despite this week’s rally, it’s surprising to see a token like CEL, with no active use case, surge so dramatically—momentum that likely won’t stick around.
