Prices for the largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization have risen during Wednesday's trading session.
According to information from crypto data site OnChainFX, the top ten currencies are all up over the past 24 hours. EOS is up by the most notable degree, having climbed 18.27% in the past day, according to market data. While it's not entirely clear what is driving the price increase, chatter around a related token airdrop has circulated in the past few days.

Other cryptocurrencies have seen more modest increases in the past day. ETH and NEO are up 4.47% and 6.4%, respectively, while cardano has risen roughly 4.1% in the past day.
By contrast, both bitcoin and bitcoin cash have experienced minor gains, climbing by about 2% and 1.7%, respectively.
According to current market data, bitcoin has inched closer to the $7,000, trading at roughly $6,933.08 as of press time. That figure represents a roughly $100 increase from the day's open, though on Monday the cryptocurrency saw prices above $7,100 during that day's session.
As CoinDesk's Omkar Godbole wrote earlier on Wednesday, the second quarter of 2018 could bring some respite for bitcoin bulls, based on historical performance of the asset during this period in past years.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
