LUNC Leads KuCoin’s Top 10 List, Based on Weekly Search Popularity

• KuCoin lists the top 10 coins of the week based on trending activities.
• LUNC tops the chart, whereas BNB drops to the bottom.
• BTC dropped below $24,000. However, ETH showed a 12.36% rise, making its value $1,900.

The crypto market is trading unevenly on August 17, with crypto behemoth Bitcoin remaining nearly unaltered while meme token SHIBA INU is seeing significant increases. At the time of writing, data from TradingView shows that the market cap of all cryptos is slightly rising by nearly $1.15 trillion, an increase of less than 2.5% over the last 24 hours.

Amid the tiff between the bulls and bears, crypto exchange KuCoin released the list of the top 10 cryptocurrencies based on weekly search popularity on its platform from August 10 to August 16, 2022.

Leading the chart is controversy’s favorite child, Terraform Labs’ LUNA Classic, a.k.a. LUNC, which made a comeback after a massive collapse. Currently changing hands at $0.00009773, LUNC is experiencing a 4% rise in its trading value over the past week. However, the coin has dipped 100% from its ATH of $119.18, recorded in April 2022. Incidentally, LUNC was at the top of the leaderboard even last week.

On the heels of LUNC is the meme token SHIB, which is presently trading at $0.0000162 and has seen a 35.39% hike in its value over the last seven days. SHIB has retained its position in second place since last week and currently has a market cap of over $8.95 billion.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin dropped below $24,000, in contrast to Ethereum, which stood steady at around $1,900 ahead of its much-awaited merger event. However, over the last seven days, ETH and BTC have seen a rise of 12.36% and 3.69%, respectively.

STEPN (GMT) secured the fifth position in Kucoin’s chart, with a 12.81% rise since last week, trading currently at $1.05. However, it has dropped 74.3% from its ATH of $4.11, which was recorded in April 2022. 

Dropping to the sixth position this week from being the fifth last week is Green Satoshi Token (GST), with a 0.32% dip in its value, which is changing hands at $0.061 at the time of writing. Solana (SOL) follows closely behind, with a $43.09 trading value, which surged 8.3% from the previous week.

Furthermore, Seedify.fund (SFUND) and Polygon (MATIC) sit in the eighth and ninth positions, respectively, with $2.64 and $0.9363 trading values. SFUND witnessed more than a 6.50% dip, whereas MATIC saw a surge of nearly 5.30%. At the bottom of the chart, however, lies Binance’s native coin (BNB), with a 1.08% dip in the last seven days, making its value $316.84. This makes it the most unpopular search of the week.
