On Nov. 29, the crypto economy slipped 1.84% to $3.09 trillion, cooling off after a week that wore a brighter shade of green. Bitcoin tacked on 8.2% in gains and ethereum added 10.1%, yet plenty of other tokens outperformed the big names — and a few lagged behind entirely, refusing to hitch a ride on this week’s market’s climb.
Weekly Market Perspective: Crypto Winners Run Hot as Others Suffer Nasty Drops
Several crypto assets saw double-digit gains this week, and compound (COMP) stole the show with a 129.90% leap, strutting to $65.57 per coin.
The meme coin fartcoin (FARTCOIN) wasn’t far behind, puffing up 72.70% to $0.3203, while turbo (TURBO) raced ahead 69.77% to a crisp $0.002296. Orca (ORCA) swam its way to a 62.76% jump at $1.74 over the last seven days, and spx6900 (SPX) clocked a 51.78% rise at $0.6694.

Some crypto assets stumbled this week, a tidy reminder that not everyone gets a ticket on the green wave. On the flip side, fasttoken (FTN) took a brutal 45.95% dive — the kind of drop that makes you double-check the chart to make sure it’s not upside down. SOON followed with a 27.19% decline, and starknet (STRK) shed 20.46%, not exactly its finest week.
Ronin (RON) slipped 17.22%, Fluid drained 15.12%, and horizen (ZEN) dropped 11.41%. Aptos (APT) dipped 11.04%, and even zcash (ZEC) wasn’t immune, sliding 9.49% over the course of the seven-day run.

Merlin chain token (MERL) stepped down 5.87%, aster (ASTER) drifted 5.78%, sushi (SUSHI) trimmed 4.53%, and verge (XVG) ended with a 4.16% fade.
In the end, this week handed crypto fans a dizzy mix of victory laps and faceplants. Some tokens strutted like they owned the place, others tripped on the way in, and the market simply reminded everyone—yet again—that nothing stays boring in this circus for long.
