Here Are The 10 Crypto Gainers for Week 37
If $216M couldn’t push ETH, maybe the small-cap surge is hinting at where the next cycle is headed
If you’re looking at the charts this week, it’s clear that price action isn’t slowing down. Even with volatility still hanging over the market, smart money hands aren’t exactly sitting out, but rotating with intention.
The real shock came from small caps. Despite $216 million flowing into ETH ETFs, the biggest percentage gainers weren’t the majors, but coins like MYX Finance stole the spotlight, rocketing more than 974% in just seven days.
MYX, a DeFi project that’s been quietly building also caught fire as traders piled into liquidity pools and yield opportunities, turning it into one of the fastest movers of the week. Right behind it, Worldcoin jumped 87.9%, helped by growing adoption of its World ID system and renewed hype around Sam Altman’s broader AI narrative, which always seems to pull speculators back in.
Then you’ve got MemeCore climbing 46.8%, Pump.fun soaring 42.1%, and Mantle adding another 38.2% to its price. Even lesser-known names like SPX6900 with a 28.4% rise, Bonk up 26.8%, and Pudgy Penguins tacking on 26.4% had their moment. Meanwhile, Hyperliquid pushed 25.7% higher, and Dogecoin closed the list with a solid 22.6% weekly gain.
That doesn’t mean the big players were quiet. Solana still managed a 16.9% bump, Avalanche climbed nearly 18%, and even names like Render and Sei made the headlines.
But the rotation feels clear; money is chasing momentum where the upside looks sharper, while the ETH narrative (and the ever-present $5,000 price target for 2025) hovers in the background. The big question is whether this is just traders chasing short-term pumps, or if we’re catching the first legs of a bigger cycle.
What do you think? Are these gains a sign of a deeper rotation into small caps, or is ETH still the story that matters as we round up 2025? Drop your thoughts in the comments.
