Top 6 Trending Crypto Tokens This Weekend: Bitcoin, Solana, ONDO & More!

Story Highlights
  • Trump's tariff announcements caused significant market volatility, with stocks and crypto experiencing sharp drops and rebounds.

  • Bitcoin demonstrated resilience amid market turbulence, holding its ground while other assets fluctuated.

  • Ethereum, Solana, and other altcoins like ONDO, ORCA, and XCN are experiencing heightened trading and discussion.

Markets had a rocky week, all thanks to new tariff threats from President Donald Trump. Global stocks stumbled, crypto took a hit, and investors braced for impact. But just as things looked shaky, Trump announced a 90-day pause on the tariffs for all countriesโ€”except China. That sudden shift sent markets bouncing back.

Crypto traders were quick to move too. From Bitcoin’s strong rebound to rising excitement around trending altcoins, thereโ€™s been no shortage of action.

Here’s a breakdown of what shook the markets and which tokens are stealing the spotlight right now.

Bitcoin Is Back In Action!

Bitcoin has climbed back to the $82,000 level, sparking fresh debate: is it a safe-haven like gold, or just another risky asset? Either way, Bitcoin proved more stable than most investments during the market chaos.

As we head into the weekend, crypto conversations are heating up. Market intelligence platform Santiment highlighted the top trending tokens leading discussions across the space.

Top Tokens to Watch

  • Ethereum is back in focus, as traders compare its recent performance to Bitcoin and other altcoins. On-chain data shows a clear spike in large transactionsโ€”ETH addresses holding between 1,000 and 10,000 tokens rose from 5,376 to 5,417 between April 9 and 10. Thatโ€™s the highest number since September 2023.

    Still, some investors are questioning Ethereumโ€™s long-term strength. Its declining market dominance and growing competition are causing concern. ETH is currently trading at $1,568, down over 13% in the past week.
  • ONDO: ONDO has gained a lot of attention after being listed on Binance, one of the largest crypto exchanges by trading volume. The listing came through a community vote, which added to the hype. Trading is set to start on April 11, 2025, and investors are optimistic about the tokenโ€™s future.
  • Solana (SOL) is another top altcoin thatโ€™s trending this week. Traders are watching closely as the token approaches a key breakout level. If it can hold, analysts say SOL could climb to $200.

    Adding to the buzz is growing speculation around a Solana ETF. Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart confirmed that the SECโ€™s final deadline to decide is October 10. While approval could come earlier, most expect a green light by that date.
  • Next up is the flagship crypto Bitcoin. Bitcoin once again showed its strength as a resilient asset. When China responded to Trumpโ€™s 145% tariff with a 125% tariff on U.S. goods, goldโ€”often seen as a safe havenโ€”spiked. But unlike stocks, Bitcoin didnโ€™t panic and held steady.

    Online, discussions around investment strategies are picking up. Many are sharing ideas like dollar-cost averaging and long-term holding, especially as Bitcoin is increasingly seen as a hedge against market volatility. Investors also seem more confident in Bitcoinโ€™s future compared to other cryptos like Ether.

    Analyst Ali Martinez has highlighted that Bitcoin is breaking above a key resistance level at $82,360. If it could continue rising, then the next target could be $91,500.
  • ORCA: This altcoin is one of the top daily gainers right now, with a noticeable price increase that has caught the eye of crypto traders looking for short-term opportunities.
  • XCN: Onyxcoin is another token getting attention. Analysts and traders are feeling bullish, expecting strong gains. Itโ€™s currently trading at $0.02081, up over 9% in the last 24 hours. Some investors are urging others to get in early, believing thereโ€™s more upside ahead.
