TL;DR

    Core (CORE) has significantly outperformed Bitcoin and many other major cryptocurrencies with a 350% price surge this year.
    Other digital assets related to BTC’s ecosystem, such as Sovryn (SOV) and Ordiswap (ORDS), also reported notable gains, with increases of 210% and 100%, respectively.

CORE Leads the Pack

Bitcoin, or BTC, has seen significant growth since the start of the year. Its price jumped from around $42,000 on January 1st to nearly $67,000 on April 24th – a remarkable increase of approximately 60%. However, some cryptocurrencies connected to Bitcoin’s ecosystem have experienced even more noteworthy price surges during this time. Core (CORE) is one such digital currency that stands out as an exceptional example.

This new blockchain utilizes the robust security and decentralization of Bitcoin’s Proof-of-Work system combined with the efficiency and flexibility of Delegated Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism, resulting in enhanced security, greater scalability, and increased decentralization.

The native CORE token presently has a value approximately equal to $2.51 according to CoinGecko’s records, marking a significant increase of around 350% compared to its initial price of $0.55 at the beginning of 2024.

At the start of April, the asset’s price reached new heights, momentarily exceeding $4. Meanwhile, its total value in the market hit $3.5 billion before stabilizing roughly at $2.2 billion presently.

Sovryn (SOV) Comes Next

In recent months, there’s been a notable revival of interest in the Rootstock Smart Contract (RSK) sidechain for Bitcoin, where this protocol operates.

The native SOV token has experienced a significant increase of around 210% since the end of last year, now valued at roughly $2.10. However, this price level pales in comparison to its peak value in 2021 when one coin was worth more than $35.

Ordiswap (ORDS)

Ordiswap represents the initial Automated Market Maker (AMM) specifically tailored for the BTC blockchain. Its primary role is delivering liquidity and enabling decentralized transactions directly within Bitcoin’s native infrastructure.

At the close of last December, ORDS, the cryptocurrency overseeing governance in the Automated Market Maker (AMM), made its debut and has since doubled in value. In the past month, it peaked at a record-breaking price of $0.26 but has since retreated to its present level of $0.10.

LeverFi (LEVER)

Recently, LEVER‘s market capitalization surpassed $120 million for the first time, whereas it now hovers around $100 million.

Bitcoin Cash (BCH)

A well-known split-off from Bitcoin since 2018, which underwent its second price-halving in April, also merits inclusion. Prior to the halving, its value significantly surged. However, two weeks ago, Bitcoin Cash reached a high of over $700, but it has since experienced a decline.

Right now, one token is approximately valued at $500, representing a 93% rise from the initial price this year.
