Top Tokens of the Week: Infrastructure Coins and DeFi Advancements
The first week of May shows moderate but steady growth and seems to highlight several sectors that continue to attract investor interest.
Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL)
While the overall trend has shifted, it’s worth noting that the top performer once again is VIRTUAL — a project focused on virtual environments and AI-integrated digital assets. Over the week, it gained +29.35%, reaching $1.65 with a trading volume of $397.5M.
Four (FORM)
With less media exposure but strong momentum, FORM from the Four project posted notable gains. It represents a fairly standard token from the GameFi sector. FORM rose by +18.27% over the week, trading at $2.51 with a volume of $55.2M.
Quant (QNT)
We now turn to a representative of the ongoing infrastructure trend. QNT is a well-established infrastructure token that enables interoperability between various blockchain networks. It grew by +17.93%, reaching $87.93 with a trading volume of $29.3M.
Hyperliquid (HYPE)
A representative of another persistent theme of the week is HYPE, which continues to maintain its position among top performers. It’s a DEX derivative platform with a native order book and gas-free architecture, designed for high-frequency and institutional DeFi trading. HYPE posted a +15.08% gain, reaching $20.21 with a volume of $99.9M.
Curve DAO (CRV)
Another top token reinforcing the DeFi narrative is Curve DAO, the autonomous governance layer for Curve Finance — one of the largest DeFi players specializing in low-slippage swaps between stablecoins and correlated assets. CRV rose by +9.91%, trading at $0.6997 with a volume of $123.4M.
DeXe (DEXE)
Continuing the focus on decentralized portfolio management and trading, DEXE recorded a weekly increase of +8.91%, reaching $14.62 with a volume of $15.2M.
Solayer (LAYER)
An infrastructure project within the Solana ecosystem, Solayer focuses on building modular DeFi applications and integrating them with high-performance blockchain services. LAYER gained +8.80% over the week, reaching $2.98 with a volume of $246.9M.
Aave (AAVE)
Another leading DeFi protocol, Aave facilitates lending and borrowing of crypto assets using an overcollateralized lending model and operates across multiple blockchain networks. AAVE posted a +8.09% increase, trading at $177.86 with a volume of $212.6M.
Monero (XMR)
Also entering the top this week — though not a frequent presence, nor entirely unexpected during periods of political and economic uncertainty — is Monero. As the largest privacy-focused crypto protocol using ring signatures and stealth addresses for fully anonymous transactions, XMR posted a +4.27% gain, trading at $275.47 with a volume of $121.9M.
Conclusion
As mentioned earlier, we’re not seeing numbers as strong as last week, and the trend has slightly shifted toward decentralized financial platforms and solutions — both among ICOs and top-performing coins — seemingly in response to ongoing political and economic uncertainty.
That said, AI hasn’t disappeared from the picture: the only token fitting that category ended up being the week’s top performer. GameFi also continues to attract user interest, and we’re likely to keep seeing this trend to some extent.
