The digital asset space held steady this week with a mix of modest gains and ecosystem-driven moments. Interest continues to grow around Layer-1 expansion, protocol upgrades, and increasing mainstream utility. Here’s a spotlight on 4 noteworthy assets:
Avalanche (AVAX): Ecosystem Connections Strengthen
Avalanche is trading at $20.38, having edged up 0.03% in the last 24 hours and approximately 0.56% over the week . This week’s highlights include deepening infrastructure efforts and community-driven narratives that emphasize Avalanche’s role as a scalable Layer‑1 hub. Ecosystem activity has picked up as developers build out dApps and multi-chain bridges. Technical analysts note that while short‑term momentum remains flat, long-term support levels continue to hold. If Avalanche can showcase tangible project launches and integrations, it may attract fresh attention and capital.
Toncoin (TON): Telegram-Centric Incentives Lead Growth
Toncoin sits at $3.17, boosted by 0.56% in the last 24 hours and 1.1% over the past week . The TON community has fueled gains with new grant programs, user incentives, and DAO votes aimed at expanding utility. Its tight integration with Telegram continues to serve as a unique distribution channel. Some traders are optimistic, speculating that further ecosystem rollouts on Telegram could act as catalysts. With consistent on‑chain engagement and governance initiatives, TON may be setting a stable foundation for future upside.
Ripple (XRP): Business Expansion & Regulatory Progress in Focus
XRP is trading around $2.23, having climbed 0.76% in 24 hours and 3.0% over the week . Ripple’s latest community updates emphasize expanding payment solutions, consumer wallet enhancements, and deeper incursions into Europe and Asia. Regulatory progress appears to be slow but steady, helping ease investor concerns. Technically, XRP recently reclaimed a bullish weekend breakout and may be stabilizing around key resistance zones . Continued traction in cross-border and payment applications could sustain interest.
Raydium (RAY): Anticipation Ahead of V4 Upgrade
Raydium currently trades at $2.26, enjoying a robust +6.6% intraday surge but remains about 5% off its level from a week ago . The jump reflects mounting excitement for its upcoming V4 launch, which promises enhanced AMM features and cross-chain liquidity. Market chatter suggests this launch could be a turning point for Raydium’s usability and volume metrics. Analysts are cautioning that without execution or user uptake, the upgrade could leave expectations unmet. Still, if this V4 version of Raydium delivers on performance and experience, RAY could regain and surpass past highs.
