Abnormal 1,800% Rally: Top Cryptocurrencies by Weekly Gains

• The Bitway token rose 76.28% over the week — the biggest gain among the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market cap.
• The top 10 also included Filecoin, Raydium, Falcon Finance, ether.fi, and others.
• Lisk surged 1,800% in a few days.
• Incrypted’s editorial team selected the top 10 crypto assets with the biggest weekly price gains.

Between September 7 and September 13, 2026, several crypto assets posted significant gains despite the broader market trend.

Incrypted’s editorial team selected tokens from the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, with Bitway (BTW) delivering the best result: its price rose 76.28% over the week, and its market cap reached $2.12 billion, according to CoinMarketCap.

The leaders list also included Venice Token (VVV), up 28.27%, Filecoin (FIL) — up 20.95%, and Raydium (RAY) — up 20.02%. 

Reasons for BTW and VVV Growth

An X user under the handle ElonKely linked BTW’s rapid rise to high activity in the derivatives market. According to him, on August 19, BTW futures open interest (OI) on Binance nearly reached $1 billion, after which a large number of long positions were liquidated. Since then, OI has fallen to $146 million, and the position size of large players — from more than $100 million to just over $2 million.

The expert also pointed to token movements on-chain. Starting August 24, clusters of large BTW wallets began transferring assets to Gate, which announced the launch of token futures the same day. In ElonKely’s view, this may indicate whales are preparing for further BTW activity on Gate. At the same time, he noted that on-chain data does not provide enough grounds to determine whether this is token accumulation or preparation to sell.

Experts explained the VVV token pump as active buying amid pressure from token unlocks. According to analyst ArslanOnChain, one wallet accumulated 181,249 VVV worth $3.02 million over several weeks at an average entry price of about $16.69 and sent the tokens to staking. Meanwhile, team-linked wallets continue to receive unlocked tokens, and Coinbase recently received about 14,600 VVV.

In the expert’s view, the situation is further amplified by a large number of short positions. Open interest jumped 120% to $178.96 million, while daily trading volume surged more than tenfold to $815.32 million. As a result, VVV’s price rose roughly from $17.50 to $26, as buyers absorbed supply and traders betting on a decline were forced to close their short positions.

In addition, the top 10 biggest weekly gainers also included Filecoin (+20.95%), Raydium (+20.02%), Falcon Finance (+18.07%), ether.fi (+13.99%), VeChain (+13.03%), Injective (+10.31%), Pieverse (+6.23%), and Pendle (+5.36%).

LSK token up 1,800%

Separately, it is worth highlighting the rally in Lisk (LSK). Between September 7 and September 13, the asset’s price soared from $0.1 to $2, posting gains of more than 1,800%.

Analysts link this surge to the project team’s announcement that it is winding down its own network. Under the new requirements, users must migrate their assets to Ethereum by October 31. At the same time, stakers were given access to unlock their locked LSK tokens.

Experts suggest that this abnormal spike is driven by artificial liquidity creation needed to enable a smooth capital exit from the network.
