Veteran cryptocurrencies, often called “dino coins,” have seen strong growth over the weekend, with XRP, XLM, and ADA leading the way. XRP, in particular, saw an 8.9% increase against the U.S. dollar as of Saturday.
The global cryptocurrency market capitalization is currently $3.34 trillion, showing a 1% increase in the past day.
Among the so-called dino coins, XRP is leading the charge. It traded at $2.56 per coin, up from $2.39 earlier in the day. Over the past year, XRP has risen by 327.2%.
Stellar (XLM), another popular dino coin, also saw gains, increasing by 7.7% in 24 hours. XLM is now valued at $0.449 per coin.
Over the last year, XLM has grown by 266.6%, though it remains down by over 48% from its all-time high of $0.875 in January 2018.
Cardano (ADA) joined the weekend’s gains, rising by 7.6% against the U.S. dollar. ADA’s growth over the past year is 75.3%, but it remains 67.7% below its all-time high of $3.09 from September 2021.
Dogecoin (DOGE), the meme-inspired coin, also experienced a 4% increase on Saturday, trading at $0.347.
Over the past year, DOGE has grown by 313%, outperforming XLM. However, DOGE’s all-time high of $0.731 was reached in May 2021, and it is currently 52% below that peak.
These long-standing digital assets, affectionately called “dino coins,” are seeing a resurgence in the market.
Their loyal holders are benefiting from the weekend’s gains, and the coins continue to show resilience in the crypto world.
