Several altcoins outperformed the broader market last week, delivering double-digit weekly gains while overall crypto activity eased modestly.

The following list shows tokens ranked by their seven-day price change, preserving reported percentages and ranking order.

• XMR — +23.64%
• UNI — +19.31%
• SPX — +18.78%

Drivers behind the leaders

VeChain became the top gainer after an announcement of technical upgrades, which market participants interpreted as a catalyst for renewed investor interest.

Monero followed closely after its integration into THORChain, a development that expanded XMR’s accessibility across decentralized liquidity networks.

Uniswap’s token burn activity also supported UNI’s advance: more than $300 000 worth of tokens were removed from circulation over the past 10 days, according to reported figures.

Market context

Although the broader crypto market slowed compared with prior weeks, select projects continued to record notable weekly returns driven by protocol updates, integrations, and tokenomics adjustments.

Investors monitoring these moves should note that short-term performance varied significantly across projects, reflecting idiosyncratic news and demand rather than uniform market recovery.
