Synthetix [SNX] secured the top spot as the biggest gainer in the list of top 100 cryptocurrencies by market cap during the trading session on 20 June. The token rallied by more than 60% on the heels of strong volumes on the Synthetix platform.
Synthetix announced that its daily volume crossed over 200 million due to an increase in atomic swaps on Curve Finance and 1inch. It also cited increased volumes from options platforms such as Polynomial and Lyra Finance, as well as Optimism futures growth. This increased activity and volumes resulted in higher demand for SNX, thus contributing to its strong uptrend.
SNX traded at $3.18 at press time after a 12.36% gain in the last 24 hours. However, this was after a slight pullback from its 24-hour high of $3.39 which it achieved a few hours prior.
This means it had rallied by as much as 63% from the day’s low. SNX’s weekly uptick in the last two days elevated its weekly performance by 54.21% at press time.
