As 2026 begins, Bitcoin reclaiming the $90,000 level has provided the "breathing room" necessary for a significant capital rotation into high-beta altcoins. This week, we are seeing a clear shift in market leadership as traders move down the risk curve.
Weekly Performance Leaders
$MYX (MYX Finance): The standout performer with an 82% rally. This surge is largely fueled by the launch of its V2 upgrade on January 4, which introduces a modular infrastructure for instant perpetual market creation.
$PEPE: Leading the meme coin resurgence with a ~50% gain this week. Trading volume for PEPE has spiked to over $1.8 billion on some exchanges, indicating that retail interest is rapidly returning as Bitcoin stabilizes.
$CC (Canton Network): Up roughly 41% following the major news that Nasdaq has joined the network as a Super Validator. This institutional milestone has solidified its narrative as core infrastructure for tokenized real-world assets.
I believe this isn't just a random pump; it’s a sign of a maturing market. When Bitcoin finds a new floor at these heights, capital naturally seeks out ecosystems with strong fundamental catalysts, like MYX’s technical upgrades or Canton’s institutional partnerships.
Do you think this is the start of a multi-week altcoin rotation, or will a potential Bitcoin run to $100k pull the liquidity back to the "king"?
