Altcoins gained as much as 22% in 7 days- new investment drives to follow?

The third week of February brings in a series of strange events in the crypto community. Stablecoins started the week, which is light growth traction, but then came down all at once. The drop was significant. As the weekends, no further drop is noticed.  

But the traction gained in the first two days of the week is lost. Rather, traders are more hopeful about the performance of altcoins.  

Why Are Traders Hopeful About Altcoins? 

Some altcoins faced serious price corrections. However, few of them experienced a sharp price surge. One of the top altcoins that performed well is Telcoin. This token was not in the news in the first half of the week.  

However, Friday and Saturday were good for this token. Surprisingly, the price hike of Telcoin is a staggering 88%. With that leap, the trading volume of this token has reached more than $1 billion. Certainly, traders were not ready to see one abrupt coin gaining so much traction.  

Other than Telcoin, the whole market is talking about Sonic as well.  

It is one of the most recently found crypto coins. What’s more interesting is that the coin has gone through rebranding recently.  

We are talking so much about Sonic here, as the coin got a staggering 40% growth this weekend. Most of the institutional investors feel that the growth is due to innovative publicity of its rebranding phenomenon. Other than these two, the market is happy with the performance of Litecoin and ONDO.  

LTC has also gained around 30% from new investors. With that, the total market cap of this coin is above 10 billion USD now. But a few coins making money does not mean that the whole market of altcoins is doing good.  

One of the major losers in the market is DeXe, with a high loss of 11%. The loss started slowly from 3rd February. Till the closure of 15 Feb 2025, the coin had already lost 11% of its value,e with which it started in February.  

The other most significant coin that is now starting to show a downfall is ONDO. However, the initial traction gained by this crypto was exceptional.  

Other coins that made it big  

The market is especially happy with Litecoin, as it was anticipated to grow bigger. The market was fathoming this coin to enter spot ETFs soon the last week. However, Litecoin’s performance shocked everyone with a staggering 30% climb within one week only. If the price growth continues, the token will reach a three-month-high resistance.  

Meanwhile, the market cap is back to $10 million and growing further. Traders feel that it is an outcome of an increase in investors’ interest in this token. But there is a reason why Litecoin could not make it to the list of the top 3 gainers of this week. On Saturday, the value of the coin fell exceptionally. Its price is 20% lower now. What’s more alarming is that a slight drop in the market compelled the coin to witness a serious drop in trading volume and price.  

It could mean that the growth and attraction of this one and other altcoins are equally brittle. 

The Coins That Witnessed Fall 

Two coins started the week with a bang. The first one is DeXe, and the other is ONDO. DeXe has put up an exceptional performance with a price projection of $22.60 by 2030. However, a staggering 11% fall has shattered the dreams of investors.  

Going forward, a lot of young traders will fear putting their money on new coins other than ETFs. The sharp reduction in its price was accompanied by a drop in the market cap. The same goes for the trading volume too.  

February started with a rally. It was one of the rarest coins that went through a rally this year. But the hardest fact is that nobody was anticipating DeXe to fall so soon. The downfall of this token was so sharp that the daily trading volume dropped to only $7.5 million.  

ONDO Finance is another perfect recipe for a financial disaster soon to happen. The coin has stopped getting any more upward traction from new buyers at retail or institutional levels. Investors, however don’t lose hope so early. Most of them feel that RWA is going to happen soon. This event might overturn the current drop and lead this Crypto back to the path of glory.  

Traders’ Digest 

The upward or downward fall in the altcoin sector is too early to judge. The biggest gainers this week could be the worst losers the next week. This terminal is good for day traders, but long-term traders are suffering.
