Q2 2024 ushered in a remarkable resurgence in the cryptocurrency market, marked by impressive price rallies across various cryptoassets. This period was characterized by renewed investor confidence and growing interest in both established cryptocurrencies and emerging projects. The market saw a diverse range of top performers, from innovative blockchain solutions to community-driven meme coins, each carving out its niche in the ever-evolving crypto landscape.

This report analyzes the top five gainers among the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization in Q2 2024, exploring the factors behind their remarkable growth and the implications for the broader crypto ecosystem.

1.      Brett (BRETT) – 99.4% Growth

Key Statistics:

  • Q2 Starting Price: $0.076 (April 1, 2024)
  • Q2 Ending Price: $0.15

Q2 High (also, All-Time High): $0.193 (June 9, 2024)

Brett, a meme coin inspired by Matt Furie’s comic “The Boys Club,” emerged as the standout performer in Q2 2024, nearly doubling its value with a 99.4% increase.

Brett rode the wave of enthusiasm for meme coins on Coinbase’s Layer 2 network, Base. In April, the token was listed on multiple public exchanges. This increased its accessibility and consequently, its trading volume.

This growth was maintained by its community’s active promotion and marketing efforts, which sustained interest throughout the quarter and also catalyzed Brett’s growth.

On June 2, Brett’s market cap hit $1 billion, making it the first meme coin on the Base Network to reach this milestone.

2.      TON (TONCOIN) – 40% Growth

Key Statistics:

  • Q2 Starting Price: $5.40
  • Q2 Ending Price: $7.58
  • Q2 High (also, All-Time High): $8.25 (June 15, 2024)

TON (Toncoin), the native token of The Open Network, originally conceived as the Telegram Open Network, has seen a surge in popularity due to the rise of Tap-to-Earn games and meme coins within its ecosystem. This popularity is largely attributed to its affiliation with Telegram. TON enables Telegram users to access web3 with wallets and mini-apps directly within the messaging app.

The launch of Notcoin, a game that achieved over $1 billion in market capitalization since its mid-May debut, has generated significant interest in the TON ecosystem. On June 13, TON announced that it had reached a total value locked (TVL) of $500 million.

Beyond the success of Tap-to-Earn games on Telegram, TON’s growth in Q2 can also be attributed to its expansion of support for more decentralized applications (dApps) and integrations with other projects within the broader crypto ecosystem. In Q2, the TON blockchain gained support from USDT, the largest stablecoin by market capitalization. Toncoin was also integrated as a payment option on Travala on June 12.

3.      Kaspa (KAS) – 37% Growth

Key Statistics:

  • Q2 Starting Price: $0.139
  • Q2 Ending Price: $0.190 (approx.)
  • Q2 High: $0.197 (June 30, 2024)

Kaspa (KAS) is the native token for the blockchain network of the same name, which is a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) designed for rapid peer-to-peer transactions. One factor contributing to the token’s impressive rise in Q2 2024 was the anticipation surrounding the launch of the KRC20 token standard. The announcement created a buzz within the Kaspa community. This excitement peaked with the public launch on June 30, leading to a significant price surge. On the same day, KAS reached its all-time high.

The positive outlook from influential figures in the crypto space also played a crucial role in KAS’s rally. In June 2024, Crypto Proselyte, a respected voice in the crypto community, endorsed KAS with a bold prediction of a potential 100x increase from its current price. This endorsement fueled optimism among investors and traders.

4.      Monero (XMR) – 29% Growth

Key Statistics:

  • Q2 Starting Price: $128
  • Q2 Ending Price: $165
  • Q2 High: $180.7 (June 13, 2024)

Monero (XMR) is the native token of the Monero blockchain, designed to keep transactions private and resistant to censorship. Its growth in Q2 2024 builds on the increasing concern about privacy in the crypto world. According to a recent study, during Q2 22024, only 10% of digital currency users trust crypto companies with their data. This lack of trust makes Monero, known for its strong privacy features, even more attractive.

The Monero community also played a big part in this growth. In early June, they held MoneroKon, a conference focused on new privacy technologies and decentralized systems. This event drew a lot of attention and investment.

Another major development was the approval of the Full-Chain Membership (FCM) protocol. This new protocol will improve the privacy of peer-to-peer transactions, making Monero even more secure and appealing.

5.      Pepe (PEPE) – 28.6% Growth

Key Statistics:

  • Q2 Starting Price: $0.000008796
  • Q2 Ending Price: $0.00001 (approx.)
  • Q2-High (also All-Time High): $0.000017 (May 27, 2024)

Positive market sentiment and bullish predictions about Pepe’s future performance got investors really excited. Some analysts predicted that Pepe could see huge gains, with some saying it might increase by 200% in May 2024.

In June 2024, a big player in the crypto world, known as whale, made major moves that impacted Pepe’s price. According to Lookonchain, a whale bought 231.6 billion PEPE tokens from Kraken, worth about $2.9 million. Whales now has a total of 750.34 billion PEPE tokens, valued at $8.34 million since mid-March. When whales make such large purchases, it often suggests they expect the price to go up in the future.

Conclusion

The diverse range of top performers in Q2 2024 reflects the multifaceted nature of the crypto market. From privacy-focused solutions like Monero to meme coins like Brett and Pepe, each asset’s growth was driven by a unique combination of technological innovation, community engagement, and market dynamics. As the crypto ecosystem continues to evolve, these trends highlight the importance of adaptability, strong community support, and addressing real-world needs in achieving sustained growth and adoption.

Biggest Story Circle Freezes $58M in USDC Amid LIBRA Memecoin Scandal Circle, issuer of the USDC stablecoin, has frozen nearly $58 million linked to the controversial LIBRA memecoin project. The freeze targeted two Solana wallets connected to LIBRA’s deployers, following a class-action lawsuit filed in New York where investors allege insider fraud. Blockchain firm Arkham confirmed Circle’s use of multisig authority to halt transactions, marking a major escalation in one of 2025’s most prominent crypto scandals. LIBRA surged after Argentine President Javier Milei promoted it as a tool for small businesses, reaching over $5 and a $4 billion market cap within an hour. However, a massive insider dump crashed its value by 90%, resulting in $250 million in retail losses. The fallout has sparked political unrest in Argentina and may set new legal precedents in crypto accountability.
