Strong buying pressure is flooding the altcoin market, with top weekly gainers continuing to line up. Funds are flowing into small- and mid-cap altcoins independently of major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, resulting in clear price differentiation across coins.

Lisk (LSK) Leads with 98.57%…Raydium and VeThor Token in the 60% Range

As of 9:45 p.m. on the 12th, based on weekly gains in the Korean won (KRW) market, Lisk (LSK) ranked first with a 98.57% increase. In effect, its price nearly doubled within a week. Raydium (RAY) followed with a 73.41% rise over the same period, while VeThor Token (VTHO) also climbed 67.43%, posting weekly gains exceeding 60%.

All Top 10 Coins Post Gains Over 25%

The strong trend continued in the mid-rankings as well. Mina (MINA) rose 44.66% and Kava (KAVA) gained 35.29%. Venice Token (VVV) increased 33.84%, and Ether.fi (ETHFI) rose 32.86%. IOST also advanced 30.39%, surpassing the 30% weekly gain mark. Meteora (MET2) rose 27.59% and Falcon Finance (FF) gained 25.77%, earning spots in the top 10.

A notable feature of this week's top performers is that the rally was not concentrated in a single coin; rather, multiple altcoins recorded high gains simultaneously. Even the lowest gainer among the top 10 exceeded 25%, indicating significantly heightened short-term volatility across coins.

Gains Alone Make Further Rallies Hard to Judge

However, weekly gains alone make it difficult to assess the potential for further increases. For cryptocurrencies that have surged sharply in a short period, trading volume and liquidity can change rapidly during the rally, and the release of profit-taking sell orders could widen price fluctuations.

In particular, for coins like Lisk that recorded gains approaching 100% in a week, it is necessary to examine not only the current price but also whether trading volume is sustained, as well as liquidity and key support levels. Entering the top ranks of weekly gainers is not in itself an indicator that guarantees future returns.
