After Bitcoin (BTC) plunged to $52,500 earlier this week, which altcoins started the weekend on a positive note?
BTC’s more than 6% drop the previous day led to accelerated capital outflows from altcoins, leaving many traders disheartened as Bitcoin bulls faltered, dropping to $52,500.
However, despite Bitcoin eyeing the $50,000 support level, several altcoins maintained impressive strength.
Even amid a bearish crypto market, these altcoins continued to gain traction and hold their ground.
Neiro on ETH (NEIRO)
Neiro on ETH (NEIRO), a token launched on the Ethereum blockchain, skyrocketed by over 100% after being listed for futures trading on Binance. Inspired by Neiro, the new dog of Kabosu’s owner (the dog that inspired Dogecoin), this memecoin saw a significant surge.
According to CoinGecko data, NEIRO recorded a trading volume of $190 million within the last 24 hours, with its market cap surpassing $175 million.
Simon’s Cat (CAT)
Simon’s Cat (CAT), a well-known memecoin on BNBChain featuring a popular cat character, followed in NEIRO’s footsteps, climbing by 12.5% over the past day.
