This week, the declining crypto market capitalization and large swings in Bitcoin’s price have influenced the top-performing picks: Hyperliquid, Curve DAO, and Fartcoin. These three tokens have rallied between 25% and 100% in the past seven days.
Crypto market capitalization now stands at $2.711 trillion, up 2% in the last 24 hours. Bitcoin’s market cap has climbed 2% since the beginning of April 2025. Bitcoin ($BTC) dominance has been in an upward trend throughout April, likely delaying the onset of an altcoin season in this cycle.
Bitcoin’s flashcrashes failed to influence a few altcoins, Hyperliquid ($HYPE), Curve DAO ($CRV), and Fartcoin ($FARTCOIN) showed resilience in the face of the ongoing market correction.
