The Story Behind the Strong Performance of 3 Altcoins on the List
Starting the year at $0.0000002, BONK reached $0.0000146 on December 28, 2023, becoming the most surging altcoin of the year. Bonk’s AirDrop helped to revive Solana’s SOL. Starting the year at $1.27, INJ rose to $39.07, becoming the second most surging altcoin of the year. This rise in Injective’s INJ was due to the launch of its decentralized exchange (DEX) Helix and the commencement of token futures trading before the launch.
Starting 2023 at $0.00014, CorgiAI rose to $0.00282, becoming the third most surging altcoin of the year. CorgiAI followed the trend that every blockchain is expected to have its own memecoin, garnering significant interest as the main memecoin of the Cronos Blockchain.
