Top Crypto Gainers Today on DEXTools
Bitcoin stole the headlines on Wednesday after briefly surging to $64,000, before an abrupt reversal back to $60,000 eroded intra-day gains back to about 5.5%, while traders hunting fast exponential gains continue to turn to the on-chain shitcoin markets in the hunt for top crypto gainers today.
BTC is up 5.5% today and around 17% this week, impressive stuff.
Driving the upside has been a surge in demand for spot Bitcoin ETFs.
Indeed, daily trading volumes in BlackRock’s leading spot Bitcoin ETF hit fresh record highs above $2.7 billion on Wednesday.

Some analysts interpreted this as a bull-market signal, indicative of a sudden surge in retail demand.
While Bitcoin’s near-term outlook remains very bullish, investors looking for much faster gains will continue to scour on-chain shitcoin markets.
Thanks to their low levels of liquidity and tiny market caps, shitcoins are always the top crypto gainers on any given day.
Here are some of the top crypto gainers today that shitcoin traders will be watching, as per DEXTools.
Top Crypto Gainers Today
Sendex AI ($SENDEX)
A just-launched privacy-focused shitcoin coin called Sendex AI ($SENDEX) has pumped 350% in the past 24 hours, as per DEXTools.
Its market cap was last around $650,000, with around $103,000 in locked liquidity.
It already has over 350 holders and $630,000 in 24-hour trading volumes.
That’s impressive stuff for the first few days of trade.
However, investors should be very cautious of this coin given it has three smart-contract alerts, as per DEXTools.
Habibi ($HABIBI)
An old shitcoin called Habibi ($HABIBI) that was launched last June is up 275% on Wednesday, as per DEXTools.
Its market cap was last around $400,000 with around $120,000 in liquidity.
It has an impressive 1,860 holders and has seen 24-hour trading volumes of only around $82,000.
The fact that the latest rally has been pushed by such low trading volumes should serve as a warning sign.
If a small amount of buy pressure can trigger a more than 3x rally, how much downside could a small amount of sell pressure cause.
The token has been around for over half a year, so is unlikely to be a scam at this point.
VirtuCloud ($VIRTU)
Another just-launched shitcoin called VirtuCloud ($VIRTU) is up 250%, making it one of the top crypto gainers today.
As per DEXTools, its market cap was last around $3.6 million and liquidity around $371,000.
Investors should be aware of the token’s 5% buy and sell tax.
They should also bear in mind that newly launched coins are nearly always pump-and-dumps or scams.
So investors should always do their due diligence. There’s no such thing as zero risk.
Crypto Alternatives to Consider
Investing in low-cap shitcoins is a very risky strategy.
An innocent-looking project could easily turn out to be a scam, and a few big sell orders could easily drive the price 80% lower.
A strategy that is still risky, but arguably has a better risk reward is getting involved in crypto presales.
The idea is that investors secure tokens of up-and-coming, high-potential crypto projects/protocols at a discounted early price.
These projects then put those funds to work, paying for protocol development and marketing.
While lots can go wrong when investing in crypto presales—unforeseen circumstances can prevent a project from delivering on its vision—savvy presale investors routinely secure gains of 10x or more.
With hundreds of presale projects vying for investor funds, analysts at Cryptonews have been combing the market.
Here are 14 of the presale projects with the highest potential.
