We provide comprehensive core information, covering not only major assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum but also key issues in the altcoin market and global policy variables. You can understand the volatile cryptocurrency market as easily and enjoyably as watching Netflix.
According to the global virtual asset market tracking site CoinMarketCap, Stellar Lumens (XLM) recorded the highest gain in the cryptocurrency market from 7:00 AM on May 22 to 7:00 AM on May 29, rising 42.51% weekly. The current price of Stellar Lumens is 313 KRW, and it surged 29.76% in the last 24 hours. Stellar is a public blockchain that combines asset issuance, payment network connectivity, and smart contract functions into a single network, allowing users without bank accounts or those facing high cross-border remittance costs to quickly send and receive dollars, local currencies, and tokenized assets.
NEAR Protocol followed in second place with a weekly gain of 27.09%. The current price of NEAR Protocol is 3,659 KRW, down 3.49% over the last 24 hours. NEAR Protocol is a Layer 1 blockchain that combines an 'intent' structure, where the network processes desired transaction conditions without requiring users to understand individual blockchains separately, with sharding technology that processes transactions in parallel by dividing them into multiple fragments.
Dixi ranked third with a weekly gain of 21.60%. Its current price is 25,674 KRW, up 3.00% in the last 24 hours. Dixi is a DAO operational infrastructure designed to allow decentralized organizations to handle proposals, voting, treasury management, and expert delegation via smart contracts. It is a project focused on automating organizational decision-making and treasury management rather than acting as a simple payment token.
Fetch rose 18.80% for the week. The current price of Fetch is 345 KRW, down 2.97% in the last 24 hours. Fetch is a decentralized AI agent network where multiple AI agents, having understood user goals, divide tasks among themselves to perform data retrieval, trade execution, and service connectivity.
Night Token placed in the top tier with a weekly rise of 15.53%. The current price of Night Token is 53 KRW, up 3.92% over the last 24 hours. As the governance and utility asset for the Midnight network, Night Token promotes a 'reasonable privacy' structure that uses zero-knowledge proof technology to hide sensitive transaction or contract information while allowing it to be selectively disclosed to authorized parties.
Meanwhile, Humanity rose 15.41% over the week and is trading at 385 KRW. Stable is trading at 56 KRW, up 10.15% for the week.
At the same time, OKX Token is at 130,551 KRW, up 8.14% for the week. Sei recorded a weekly gain of 8.10% and is trading at 102 KRW. Hyperliquid is at 92,384 KRW, up 6.78% for the week.
The direct catalyst for Stellar Lumens' rise was the announcement by DTCC, the US securities depository and clearing infrastructure firm, that it would connect its tokenized securities platform to the Stellar network. XLM saw a short-term surge following the announcement, and experts analyzed that Stellar was validated as an infrastructure for payments and asset issuance in the broader shift of moving traditional financial assets to the blockchain, which boosted buying sentiment.
NEAR Protocol's price rose due to a combination of increased usage of 'NEAR Intents,' which processes cross-chain transactions as simple requests, and expectations for a network upgrade in June. While some profit-taking occurred after the short-term rally, experts explained that NEAR stood at the center of this week's altcoin rotation as its ability to enable simultaneous use of multiple blockchains combined with its AI infrastructure narrative.
Dixi's upward trend strengthened as trading volume surged after breaking through a key resistance level around 16 USD. Experts analyzed that the simultaneous rise in price and trading volume indicates confirmed buying interest in its DAO governance infrastructure, rather than a mere low-liquidity pump.
The top gainers this week were led by network-based projects with clear use cases, such as payment networks, Layer 1s, DAO operations, AI agents, and privacy infrastructure. Rather than being driven by Bitcoin-led market direction, the price movements were shaped by individual project partnerships, technology adoption, and technical chart breakouts. The trend of real-use infrastructure permeated the market throughout the week, with exchange tokens, high-performance networks, and derivatives-related assets also rising in the 6th to 10th rankings.
