This weekend, the cryptocurrency market spotlight is on “dino coins” — veteran digital assets that have been around since the early days of blockchain. Coins like XRP, Stellar (XLM), and Cardano (ADA) surged impressively, reminding everyone of their enduring relevance.
XRP Leads the Charge
XRP stole the show with an 8.9% jump, now trading at $2.56, up from $2.39 earlier in the day. While it’s still 24.7% below its all-time high (ATH) of $3.40 from January 2018, XRP has gained an impressive 327.2% in the past year, solidifying its position as a market favorite.
Stellar (XLM) Soars
Stellar joined the rally with a 7.7% increase in the past 24 hours, now valued at $0.449 per coin. XLM has seen a 266.6% surge over the last year, though it remains 48% shy of its ATH of $0.875 set in January 2018. Despite this, its steady growth highlights its potential.
Cardano (ADA) Keeps the Momentum
Cardano also posted significant gains, climbing 7.6% to $1.01. ADA has grown 75.3% over the past year, though it’s still down 67.7% from its ATH of $3.09, recorded in September 2021. Its steady rise underscores its consistent appeal among investors.
Dogecoin Joins the Rally
Even Dogecoin (DOGE), often humorously grouped with dino coins, saw a 4% rise, trading at $0.347. DOGE has grown 313% in the past year, with its ATH of $0.731 from May 2021 still out of reach but not forgotten by its passionate community.
A Weekend of Resurgence
The term “dino coins” may have started as a playful jab at these older digital assets, but their recent performance suggests they’re far from extinct. This weekend’s rally is a testament to their staying power, as they continue to deliver solid returns for their long-term holders.
With the global cryptocurrency market cap at $3.34 trillion and the resurgence of these stalwart coins, it’s clear that “dino coins” are here to stay, roaring back to remind the crypto world of their legacy and potential.
