Stacks(STX)

Aside from SOL, STX, CRO, and VET are the other significant gainers from the larger-cap alts.

Bitcoin, ETH, BNB, STX, and IMX remain strong on the charts, increasing the likelihood of more gains in the near term.

STX continues with its massive gains, surging by triple-digit on a weekly scale.

STX is today's top performer, having surged by almost 20% to above $1.

BTC price is attempting to stage a recovery, while EOS, STX, IMX and MKR are beginning to flash bullish signals.

Stacks’s STX token was the biggest winner among 160 assets in the CoinDesk Market Index, soaring 216% during the month.

The possibility of hosting Bitcoin NFTs on Stacks pushed STX price to new yearly highs, but there are concerns on whether the bullish thesis becomes reality.

Despite Bitcoin’s muted monthly performance, STX, SSV, CFX, AGIX and GRT surged higher, likely because of popular market narratives.

I suspect traders are betting that there isn't a follow-up to Bitcoin NFTs and this is more of a flash in the pan, one analyst said.

The price of Stacks’ native STX token has doubled in two weeks on the back of strong growth for Bitcoin-based non-fungible tokens.

Stacks continues to be the best performer from the top 100 crypto assets.

STX continues with its impressive performance as of late, with another double-digit price surge.

The price of STX has exploded by a whopping 160% in just a week. Some experts believe it still has room to grow. Here's why.

Stack Network is a Bitcoin layer 2 for smart contracts aimed at unleashing the world's oldest blockchain's potential as a programmable platform.

About TRON DAO TRON DAO is a community-governed DAO dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the internet via blockchain technology and dApps. Founded in September 2017 by H.E. Justin Sun, the TRON network has continued to deliver impressive achievements since MainNet launch in May 2018. July 2018 also marked the ecosystem integration of BitTorrent, a pioneer in decentralized Web3 services boasting over 100 million monthly active users. The TRON network has gained incredible traction in recent years. As of December 2022, it has over 129 million total user accounts on the blockchain, more than 4.4 billion total transactions, and over $9.7 billion in total value locked (TVL), as reported on TRONSCAN. In addition, TRON hosts the largest circulating supply of USD Tether (USDT) stablecoin across the globe, overtaking USDT on Ethereum since April 2021. The TRON network completed full decentralization in December 2021 and is now a community-governed DAO. In May 2022, the over-collateralized decentralized stablecoin USDD was launched on the TRON blockchain, backed by the first-ever crypto reserve for the blockchain industry - TRON DAO Reserve, marking TRON's official entry into decentralized stablecoins. Most recently in October 2022, TRON was designated as the national blockchain for the Commonwealth of Dominica, which is the first time a major public blockchain partnering with a sovereign nation to develop its national blockchain infrastructure. On top of the government’s endorsement to issue Dominica Coin (“DMC”), a blockchain-based fan token to help promote Dominica’s global fanfare, seven existing TRON-based tokens - TRX, BTT, NFT, JST, USDD, USDT, TUSD, have been granted statutory status as authorized digital currency and medium of exchange in the country.
