The volatility of cryptocurrencies increased significantly this week, with several major coins seeing gains exceeding 250% from their recent lows. According to the weekly chart on CoinMarketCap, Solana Mobile Seeker recorded the largest rise, climbing 250.83%. It was followed by Axie Infinity which increased by 120.71%.

Sentient AGI had an improvement of 40.08%, helping LayerZero grow by 38.77%. Stargate Finance posted an increase of 39.64% and Sandbox also achieved a solid increase of 30.57%. There was a strong growth trend across all sectors of the mobile blockchain, gaming and cross-chain infrastructure landscapes.

Mobile Blockchain Games and Tokens Gain Market Momentum

Solana Mobile Seeker’s 250.83% surge indicates increasing confidence in the mobile blockchain space rather than mere speculation. The SKR token had claimed opening on January 21, 2026, and would distribute almost 2 billion tokens towards over 100,000 Seeker users and developers, which accounts for 20% of total supply. Seeker’s user ownership model, which gives each device a non-transferable Genesis Token and includes Seed Vault and native Solana dApp Store, is appealing.

Axie Infinity surged 120.71% following significant tokenomics reforms. The changes included a reduction in token emission and the integration of its bAXS token. This upward trend extended to the broader gaming sector. The Sandbox, for example, climbed 30.57%. The revival appears driven by a focus on sustainable utility and long-term user engagement.

Cross-Chain Infrastructure and AI Platforms Intrigue Institutional Interest

In addition to headlines focusing on games, cross-chain infrastructure showed remarkable performance. LayerZero recorded a 38.77% week gain as interoperability was once again in the spotlight. The protocol introduced its EigenZero Security Framework in November 2025, adding crypto economic slashing to cross-chain verification. Institutional interest has followed, including integration with Wyoming’s Frontier Stable Token, though investors are watching a January 20, 2026, token unlock that will release 25.71 million ZRO tokens.

Stargate Finance has seen a 39.64% rise in its value and the advantage of being a Cross-Chain Bridge project built on LayerZero technology. Stargate’s Lock-Mint/Burn-Redeem model resolves Liquidity Fragmentation and enables Instant Finality and has the ability to handle over $18 million of daily volume.

Sentient AGI has risen in value by 40.08%, taking advantage of the hype around Decentralized AI. With $85 million investment backing, Sentient AGI has set out to develop Open-Source AGI on multiple blockchains. Overall, the top performers are pointing to a market moving towards utility, interoperability and sustainable innovation.

Conclusion

This week’s performers Solana Mobile Seeker, Axie infinity, Sentient AGI, LayerZero, stargate finance, and The Sandbox show how cryptocurrency markets are growing up to be more than speculation. Their gains are real innovation, addressing the problems of adoption with mobile integration, sustainable gaming economics, with decentralized AI, and cross chain infrastructure. The market is rewarding a lot more substance over hype, execution over promises and long-term utility over short-term speculation.

Shibarium May No Longer Turbocharge Shiba Inu Price Rally, Here’s Reason

The post Shibarium May No Longer Turbocharge Shiba Inu Price Rally, Here’s Reason appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Shibarium, the layer-2 blockchain of the Shiba Inu (SHIB) ecosystem, is battling to stay active. Shibarium has slipped from hitting transaction milestones to struggling to record any transactions on its platform, a development that could severely impact SHIB. Shibarium transactions crash from millions to near zero As per Shibariumscan data, the total daily transactions on Shibarium as of Sept. 16 stood at 11,600. This volume of transactions reflects how low the transaction count has dropped for the L2, whose daily average ranged between 3.5 million and 4 million last month. However, in the last week of August, daily transaction volume on Shibarium lost momentum, slipping from 1.3 million to 9,590 as of Aug. 28. This pattern has lingered for much of September, with the highest peak so far being on Sept. 5, when it posted 1.26 million transactions. The low user engagement has greatly affected the transaction count in recent days. In addition, the security breach over the weekend by malicious attackers on Shibarium has probably worsened issues. Although developer Kaal Dhairya reassured the community that the attack to steal millions of BONE tokens was successfully prevented, users’ confidence appears shaken. This has also impacted the price outlook for Shiba Inu, the ecosystem’s native token. Following reports of the malicious attack on Shibarium, SHIB dipped immediately into the red zone. Unlike on previous occasions where investors accumulated on the dip, market participants did not flock to Shiba Inu. Shiba Inu price struggles, can burn mechanism help? With the current near-zero crash in transaction volume for Shibarium, SHIB’s price cannot depend on it to support a rally. It might take a while to rebuild user confidence and for transactions to pick up again. In the meantime, Shiba Inu might have to rely on other means to boost prices from its low levels. This…

Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token

Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token

The post Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Wormhole is changing how its W token works by creating a new reserve designed to hold value for the long term. Announced on Wednesday, the Wormhole Reserve will collect onchain and offchain revenues and other value generated across the protocol and its applications (including Portal) and accumulate them into W, locking the tokens within the reserve. The reserve is part of a broader update called W 2.0. Other changes include a 4% targeted base yield for tokenholders who stake and take part in governance. While staking rewards will vary, Wormhole said active users of ecosystem apps can earn boosted yields through features like Portal Earn. The team stressed that no new tokens are being minted; rewards come from existing supply and protocol revenues, keeping the cap fixed at 10 billion. Wormhole is also overhauling its token release schedule. Instead of releasing large amounts of W at once under the old “cliff” model, the network will shift to steady, bi-weekly unlocks starting October 3, 2025. The aim is to avoid sharp periods of selling pressure and create a more predictable environment for investors. Lockups for some groups, including validators and investors, will extend an additional six months, until October 2028. Core contributor tokens remain under longer contractual time locks. Wormhole launched in 2020 as a cross-chain bridge and now connects more than 40 blockchains. The W token powers governance and staking, with a capped supply of 10 billion. By redirecting fees and revenues into the new reserve, Wormhole is betting that its token can maintain value as demand for moving assets and data between chains grows. This is a developing story.
