San Chan (SAN), Alpha (ALPHA), and ORBIT (GRIFT) are today’s top gainers on CoinGecko, defying the broader cryptocurrency market’s downturn.
While the market cap of the entire crypto sector sees a decline, these tokens have managed to surge, sparking interest among investors and traders alike.
Here’s a closer look at what’s driving these standout performances.
San Chan’s charity-inspired price surge
In an era where the cryptocurrency market often seems driven by speculation, San Chan (SAN) has carved a niche by focusing on philanthropy.
The token has seen its value skyrocket by an impressive 93.6% over the last 24 hours, reaching an intraday high of $0.03754.
This surge came after the community made its inaugural donation of 25 SOL to K9 Rescue International, an organization supporting shelters and rescuers in Eastern Europe including Ukraine with food, medical aid, spay/neuter, emergency care, rescue, and rehoming.
Today, the $SAN community made its first donation!
The recipient is @k9_rescue with a donation of 25 SOL, approximately $5,763!
From now on, the $SAN community will continue making donations every week for the next 10 years!
I truly believe that $SAN will become the most…
San Chan’s commitment to weekly donations for the next decade has not only bolstered community morale but also attracted those looking to invest in projects with social impact.
The founder of San Chan, Kantaro San who is also a prominent figure on TikTok with millions of views, is the top holder of the token with a 10-year vesting schedule, ensuring long-term support for the project.
This blend of social media influence and charitable intent has propelled SAN to significant gains, even as the market struggles.
Alpha soars amid $ASWAP airdrop anticipation
Alpha (ALPHA) has witnessed a remarkable increase in both price and holder count, driven by the upcoming $ASWAP token airdrop to $ALPHA holders.
The token has surged by 24.6% within the last 24 hours, now trading at $0.09037.
The announcement of AlphaSwap, a new platform linked to the Alpha project with its native token, has sparked a rush among investors to accumulate ALPHA tokens in anticipation of the free distribution.
The promise of around $10 million worth of $ASWAP tokens being airdropped has led to an influx of 1,000 new holders per hour, showcasing the project’s growing community.
However, warnings to secure tokens in personal wallets rather than exchanges indicate the project’s focus on security and user empowerment, adding another layer of trust and excitement around ALPHA’s ecosystem expansion.
ORBIT’s AI-powered DePIN solution gains traction
As SAN and ALPHA prices soar, ORBIT (GRIFT) is also gaining traction for addressing a common pain point in the crypto space: the overwhelming volume of new tokens and data.
With its commitment to developing the best DePIN platform on the Solana blockchain, ORBIT has seen a 34.1% price increase over the last 24 hours, bringing its price to $0.04601, at press time.
Recent announcements about simplifying automation for trading based on social media signals, aggregating multiple accounts for broader insights, and integrating additional data points for more nuanced strategies have caught the market’s eye.
Despite a volatile week, these innovations seem to have reassured investors of ORBIT’s potential, leading to a significant price uptick.
The platform’s recent AMA session further underscores its active community engagement, contributing to its resilience against a bearish market backdrop.
Other tokens in the green as the market drops
Besides San Chan, Alpha, and GRIFT there are a few other cryptocurrencies that are also in the green as the crypto market bleeds following the impact of Donald Trump’s tariffs announcement.
Some of the other coins that traders could watch include KAVA, which is up 5%, Stonks (STNK), which has gained 33.5%, Alon4AFD, which has gained 16%, dForce, which is up 18%, and Mask Network’s MASK, which is up 8%.
