The crypto market continued its divergent trend this week, with some small and mid-cap tokens rising rapidly, while previously strong assets saw significant declines. AMBCrypto statistics show that Humanity Protocol, Stellar, and DeXe were among the top gainers this week, while Zcash, Bitcoin Cash, and Sui were among the biggest losers.
Top performing tokens this week
Humanity Protocol surged approximately 75% this week, making it the best-performing token during the statistical period. The article notes that the token has now broken through the $0.40 mark, marking its first retest of this level since falling below it in the fourth quarter of 2025. Meanwhile, Stellar (XLM) saw a weekly gain of 55.5%, ending a 14-week period of sideways consolidation. DeXe (DEXE) rose approximately 25%, marking its fourth consecutive week of gains.
In terms of momentum, the three are not entirely in the same league. Humanity Protocol and XLM are closer to a rapid rise after a breakout, while DEXE is a continuation of a sustained upward trend. The article argues that DEXE experienced a brief profit-taking pullback after overheating in April, but buying subsequently returned, pushing it closer to the $20 mark.
- Humanity Protocol: Up approximately 75% this week.
- XLM: Weekly increase of approximately 55.5%
- DEXE: Weekly increase of approximately 25%
XLM approaches the $0.30 area
Besides the aforementioned tokens, smaller-cap assets with higher volatility saw even larger gains. Allora rose 176% this week, Roll rose 150.4%, and Octra rose 111.6%. The article points out that XLM is currently approaching the resistance zone near $0.3. This area was breached in November 2025, so whether it can hold above this level is a crucial point to observe in determining whether this rebound can continue.
The report also mentioned that against the backdrop of weak overall market sentiment, funds flowed into payment and utility narrative assets, which provided some support for XLM. However, after the short-term gains expanded, the price has reached a more sensitive position, and its future trend still depends on whether buying pressure continues to follow.
The list of biggest losers is led by three currencies.
In terms of declines, Zcash (ZEC) fell 17.3% this week, essentially erasing the approximately 23% gain of the previous week. The article argues that this is more like a correction after a rapid rise, rather than a complete shift in the trend. Bitcoin Cash (BCH) fell 11.5% this week. Unlike ZEC, the article believes BCH's performance is weaker. Since peaking around $640 in January, BCH's multiple rallies have failed to gain momentum.
Sui (SUI) fell 12.5% this week, marking its third consecutive week of lower lows. The article states that SUI has given back approximately 50% of its gains from early May, indicating a significant weakening of the previous rebound momentum. Overall, the crypto market this week remained primarily driven by structural trends, with some tokens bucking the trend and strengthening, while assets that had previously seen substantial gains experienced a noticeable cooling.
- ZEC: Down approximately 17.3% for the week.
- BCH: Down approximately 11.5% for the week.
- SUI: Down approximately 12.5% for the week.
