Top 100 coins by market cap. Data: Investing
edgeX (EDGE) — +66.42%
edgeX is a decentralized perpetual futures and spot platform built on an order book model rather than the AMM design common in DeFi. It aims to deliver centralized exchange-level execution speed with on-chain self-custody. The token launched during the week, hit a low of $0.49 on opening, then surged to $1.22 by April 3 on $272 million in daily trading volume. Quarterly platform volume reached $4.5 billion, up 174%, which gave the rally some fundamental grounding. The move was shadowed by an airdrop controversy — on-chain investigators found that 14% of airdrop supply went to roughly 80 wallets connected to the development team. With 65% of total supply still unlocked, dilution risk remains the dominant variable.
Weekly Crypto Losers — March 30 to April 5, 2026
Algorand (ALGO) — +52.32%
Algorand is a Layer 1 proof-of-stake chain with a strong position in real-world asset tokenization — roughly 70% market share in the RWA sector with over $425 million in tokenized assets. On March 31, Google Quantum AI published a paper on quantum threats to blockchain networks and cited Algorand 32 times for its live post-quantum deployments — more than any chain outside Bitcoin and Ethereum. Solana got 16 mentions, XRP 14, Hedera and Avalanche zero. ALGO had hit its all-time low of $0.080 just two days earlier. By April 3 it was at $0.119, with futures open interest up 55% to $58.9 million.
MemeCore (M) — +27.56%
MemeCore is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain built specifically for the meme coin ecosystem. It uses a Proof of Meme (PoM) consensus mechanism that rewards cultural participation alongside traditional validation, and includes a no-code token launchpad (MemeX). M listed on major exchanges in July 2025 at $0.035 and now trades with a market cap above $3.2 billion. The weekly gain had no single confirmed catalyst and reflects broad altcoin rotation into high-beta assets during a flat week for large caps.
Venice Token (VVV) — +24.05%
Venice Token powers Venice.ai — a privacy-first AI platform founded by Erik Voorhees that offers private, uncensored text, image, and code generation using open-source models. The platform has over 450,000 users and processes more than 15,000 inference requests per hour. Staking VVV earns yield and grants access to platform inference at zero per-request cost. Since February 2026 annual emissions were cut by 25%, and protocol revenue is used to buy and burn tokens — over 33 million VVV (42.55% of initial supply) burned to date.
DeXe (DEXE) — +20.35%
DeXe is a decentralized social trading and DAO governance protocol. Its core product is a framework for creating and managing DAOs on-chain, with DEXE serving as the governance token. Holders vote on protocol upgrades, earn staking rewards, and can mirror the strategies of experienced traders. Market cap sits around $412 million with 47 million tokens in circulation. The weekly gain tracked a broader DeFi governance token recovery — no specific project catalyst was announced during the period.
Bitcoin SV (BCHSV) — +18.52%
Bitcoin SV forked from Bitcoin Cash in 2018 with a focus on large block sizes — up to 4 GB per block — targeting enterprise data storage and on-chain scaling over layer-2 solutions. The 18.52% weekly move had no confirmed fundamental catalyst and is consistent with periodic sharp moves in low-liquidity assets during broader altcoin rotation.
Jupiter (JUP) — +11.95%
Jupiter is Solana’s leading DEX aggregator and has since grown into a DeFi super-app with perpetuals, a lending protocol, and a stablecoin. The weekly catalyst was the launch of JUICED — a yield-accruing token issued by Jupiter Lend, offering a base 4.5% APY by capturing lending interest and T-bill returns. JUP surged 8% intraday on March 30. Futures open interest rose 72% during the move.
VeChain (VET) — +11.36%
VeChain is an enterprise Layer 1 blockchain focused on supply chain transparency and product traceability, operating a dual-token model (VET for value, VTHO for gas). The ecosystem crossed 15 million wallets during the week. The network also completed its legacy node migration to the new StarGate staking platform, lowering the minimum stake to 10,000 VET. The gain reflects both these developments and broader altcoin rotation.
Render (RENDER) — +11.34%
Render is a decentralized GPU compute network connecting creators and AI developers with idle GPU operators. It sits at the intersection of AI infrastructure and the DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks) sector, which crossed $2.3 billion in TVL in Q1 2026 — up 340% year-over-year. The weekly gain tracked sector momentum rather than a Render-specific event.
Zcash (ZEC) — +10.19%
Zcash is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency using zk-SNARK zero-knowledge proofs to enable shielded transactions where sender, recipient, and amount are cryptographically hidden. Launched in 2016, it was the first practical deployment of this technology on a public blockchain. The 10.19% weekly gain reflects privacy sector rotation with no confirmed project-specific catalyst.
