Here Are the Top 5 Crypto Gainers Today as Altcoins Bounce Back
The cryptocurrency market is seeing renewed momentum, with several altcoins posting impressive gains over the past 24 hours, as Bitcoin hit a new ATH above $112K.
Leading the charge are Stellar (XLM), Lido DAO (LDO), and dogwifhat (WIF), which have each climbed more than 10% in daily performance, attracting notable trading volumes and investor interest.
Stellar (XLM) surged 11.68% in the past day to reach $0.2859, maintaining its position as the top performer. Despite a minor 1.13% dip in the last hour, its weekly gain stands at 19.35%. With over $719 million in 24-hour volume and a market cap nearing $8.9 billion, Stellar continues to play a vital role in cross-border payments and decentralized finance.
Lido DAO (LDO), the liquid staking protocol, followed closely with a 24-hour increase of 11.11%, trading at $0.8006. LDO’s steady momentum reflects renewed interest in Ethereum staking solutions amid growing DeFi adoption. Its 24-hour trading volume sits just under $100 million.
dogwifhat (WIF), the memecoin that has carved out a cult following, posted a 10.95% gain, with its price rising to $0.946. The token has also grown over 3.6% this week, backed by over $372 million in daily volume.
Pepe (PEPE), another popular meme token, matched WIF’s daily percentage gain at 10.95%, currently priced at $0.00001124. It holds the second-highest daily volume among the top five—over $1.12 billion—underscoring strong community engagement and speculative interest.
Raydium (RAY) rounded out the top performers with a 10.66% jump, trading at $2.51. Built on the Solana network, Raydium’s growth signals renewed confidence in decentralized exchanges and Solana-based ecosystems.
These tokens highlight the continued diversity of market drivers—from serious infrastructure projects to speculative memecoins—contributing to today’s bullish sentiment. However, investors should remain cautious as volatility remains a core feature of the crypto space.

It started in 2016 with Bitcoin. Like most people at the time, he didn't fully understand it - so he kept digging. Blockchain, tokenomics, the projects, the cycles. That curiosity never stopped, and eventually pulled him into traditional markets too: equities, commodities, macro. Not because he left crypto behind, but because you can't properly understand one without the other. What drives him is straightforward: he wants to know why something is happening, not just that it's happening. Most market coverage stops at the headline - price up, price down, here's a chart. Alex finds that kind of reporting actively unhelpful. If you walk away from an article without understanding the mechanism behind the move, what did you actually learn? He holds a degree in Tourism from New Bulgarian University - not the most obvious path into financial markets, but markets have a way of pulling in people who are simply too curious to stay out. He has authored over 200 in-depth analyses and more than 10,000 articles across crypto and traditional finance. He still thinks every day in markets teaches him something new. That's probably why he hasn't stopped.
