Top Crypto Gainers Today, March 26 – MemeCore, Ethena, Kaspa

Highlights:

• The crypto market is under pressure as geopolitical tensions drag Bitcoin below $70K, weakening the overall market activity.
• MemeCore led the day’s gains after its hardfork went live, cutting gas fees and improving network performance.
• Ethena and Kaspa show strength, with ENA seeing accumulation signs and KAS nearing a breakout level.

Crypto prices took a sharp turn on Thursday as the tensions between the US, Israel, and Iran continue to dominate the market. The war has weighed heavily on the crypto market, frequently leading to fluctuations after announcements emerge. Both the overall market capitalization and the trading volume have declined to $2.40 trillion and $87 billion, respectively. 

Bitcoin has dropped below the $70K key mark while major altcoins trade in red. However, some tokens have shown resilience and have continued to trade upwards. In the section below, we will discuss the top crypto gainers today, such as MemeCore, Ethena, and Kaspa.

Top Crypto Gainers Today

1. MemeCore (M)

MemeCore has emerged as the top crypto gainer today with a surge of over 40% over the last 24 hours. This memecoin has now pushed the weekly and monthly gains to 30% and 75% on the weekly and monthly charts, respectively. The price is currently hovering around $2.3 with a market cap of $3.17 billion.

MemeCore’s latest rally has been fueled by a network hardfork upgrade that is now live and stable. The upgrade cut gas fees sharply, from 1,500 gwei to 15 gwei, lowering transaction costs. The release also brings account abstraction, which adds more flexible transaction handling.

The fork also adds security patches, bug fixes, and better upstream compatibility. Moreover, the changes support layer-two scaling. This combination may improve network efficiency during heavier activity.

2. Ethena (ENA)

After recording a decline of more than 3% over the last 7 days, ENA is back on an uptrend again. ENA is up by 6% today, pushing the price to $0.101. Furthermore, its trading volume has exploded by 100% to $228 million.

Ethena drew fresh attention after $4.07 million in ENA left Binance, trimming exchange supply. At the same time, negative netflows persisted, indicating that tokens kept moving off trading platforms. This pattern often points to accumulation, not near-term selling. The market liquidity is looking tighter even as the price stays near recent lows.

A mysterious whale (0x04d8) withdrew ~$16.06M worth of altcoins from #Binance 8 hours ago, including:

43.49M $ENA($4.07M)
32,872 $AAVE($3.64M)
249,741 $AVAX($2.37M)
595,886 $UNI($2.13M)
8.07M $ONDO($2.05M)
1.49M $PENDLE($1.81M)https://t.co/Ainh8KwYvm pic.twitter.com/hqVM6Q4KyW

Meanwhile, Spot Taker CVD turned positive, indicating that buyers were actively hitting offers instead of waiting. The price has, however, failed to break higher, which suggests sellers are still absorbing demand. If this absorption weakens, a tighter supply could amplify the next upward move.

3. Kaspa (KAS)

Kapsa has been on a bullish ride, surging by almost 30% over the past 30 days despite the broad market volatility. Today, KAS recorded a 2.50% gain, joining the list of top crypto gainers. As of this writing, the KAS is trading around $0.0374, and its market cap has climbed above the $1 billion threshold.

Kaspa’s price is on the verge of breaking out of the consolidation phase on the daily chart. KAS is currently trading slightly below the key resistance zone around $0.04232. Should the current trend hold further, the altcoin could break above this mark and rally to challenge the next resistance at $0.04910.

Meanwhile, indicators such as the Relative Strength Index and Moving Average Convergence Divergence are backing the upward rally. The RSI is currently in the neutral zone, indicating that the bulls could push the price further toward the overbought zone. Moreover, the MACD line is trending further above the signal line, suggesting increased buying pressure.
