After a sharp rally on August 17-23, 2026, the crypto market moved into a consolidation phase and traded sideways the following week. Still, even amid the broader lull, some coins continued to climb.

We selected the top 10 assets from the top 100 by market cap that posted the biggest gains from August 24 to 30. This week’s leader was VeChain (VET), whose price surged 23.83%, according to CoinMarketCap at the time of writing.

VeChain positions itself as a Web3 trust infrastructure for enterprises, private users, and AI agents. Over the week, the team announced it was exploring technical upgrades to the project, which may have been one of the factors behind the asset’s rise.

Second place went to Monero (XMR), which gained 23.64%. One of the drivers, likely, was THORChain’s cross-chain protocol upgrade to version 3.20. It added support for direct XMR trading, allowing users to swap Monero for bitcoin, Ethereum, and stablecoins without using centralized exchanges. At the same time, open interest in XMR nearly doubled in August — from $131 million to about $320 million.

The token of the decentralized exchange Uniswap (UNI) rose 19.31% over the week. Over the past 10 days, the protocol burned UNI worth more than $300,000. According to Messari, the total value of burned tokens currently stands at around $160 million.

Earlier, Standard Chartered forecast a significant rise in UNI and suggested the token’s price could reach $100 by the end of 2030.

Other Assets

The top 10 biggest weekly gainers also included the memecoin SPX6900 (SPX), up 18.78%, and the Rain (RAIN) token, up 15.02%. Over the same period, Solana (SOL) rose by 9.95%, Mantle (MNT) by 9.34%, and Lighter (LIT) by 8.7%. PancakeSwap (CAKE) and Stacks (STX) gained 7.81% and 7.61%, respectively.

As a result, the biggest weekly gains among the top 100 cryptoassets by market capitalization were posted by VET, XMR, and UNI. Among the largest-cap assets on this list, Solana delivered the best performance, adding nearly 10%.
