As Bitcoin dominance hovers near 60.5%, certain altcoins are breaking out with impressive short-term gains.
Despite wider market uncertainty, a handful of tokens with modest market caps are capturing attention through major catalysts such as exchange listings, AI partnerships, and memecoin hype. Three standout performers this week are Alliance Games (COA), REI Network (REI), and Useless Coin (USELESS), all boasting market caps above $5 million and strong 24-hour surges.
Alliance Games surges on multi-exchange listings and airdrop hype
Alliance Games’ COA token jumped +47.13% in 24 hours, fueled by July 23 listings on Binance Alpha and Bitget. The campaign also included a 1,500 COA airdrop, sparking a 78% volume rise to $6.75M. Despite a broader -56.64% weekly loss, the fresh liquidity has renewed speculative interest. Notably, its 24-hour volume now equals 122% of its market cap, a clear sign of volatile, high-risk momentum.
Short-term traders are watching Bitget’s upcoming community incentives and whether volume sustains post-airdrop. For COA to avoid a typical pump-and-dump trajectory, exchange traction and user engagement will be critical.
REI Network rallies on gaming and AI integration
REI Network followed closely behind, rising +55.69% in a day and +60.15% weekly, driven by partnerships with AI social app Metya (8.5M users) and on-chain game engine Adventure Layer. Daily volume skyrocketed 786% to $186.5M, while RSI hit 80 — often a sign of overbought conditions.
REI’s positioning as a zero-fee, EVM-compatible chain aligned with Web3 gaming and AI narratives gives it strong multi-sector potential. However, the token’s +86% gain over 30 days also suggests risk of short-term exhaustion. All eyes now turn to the July 30 Korean community event for sustained momentum.
Useless Coin rides memecoin hype and Solana ecosystem
USELESS, a Solana-based memecoin, climbed +27.9% in 24h and +37.36% for the week, driven by LetsBONK’s 1% buyback pledge. With $56.77M in daily trading volume and a 30-day surge of over 200%, USELESS has become a retail favorite during Solana’s ongoing 10% ecosystem rally.
Its volume-to-market-cap ratio of 14.5% underscores strong speculative liquidity. Attention is now on PancakeSwap’s new Solana farms, which include USELESS, launching July 25.
