Espresso (+45%), Euler (+28%) and CROSS (+32%) lead Monday’s crypto winners
Bitcoin rose 1.5% to $65,096, Ethereum gained 4.2% to $1,943, and altcoins are waking up with double-digit rallies. The market is green, and several projects are stealing the spotlight with explosive moves backed by serious volume.
Espresso (ESP) – modular blockchain in the espresso shot
The day’s biggest winner is Espresso (ESP), surging 45.5% to $0.111. The modular blockchain infrastructure project caught fire after a new partnership announcement. With a market cap of $71.7 million and a 24-hour volume of nearly $100 million, ESP is getting serious attention. The ATH of $0.217 from February is within striking distance.
CROSS – cross-chain is back on the menu
CROSS jumped 32.1% to $0.098, breaking back toward the $0.10 psychological barrier. Cross-chain interoperability tokens have returned to investor radars, and CROSS — with a volume of $12.7 million and a $46.5 million market cap — showed it still has firepower. The ATH of $0.438 from July 2025 leaves plenty of room.
Euler (EUL) – DeFi lending with a punch
Euler (EUL) rallied 28.9% to $2.17 on a massive $203 million volume — impressive for a project with a $58.7 million market cap. The decentralized lending protocol is back in focus after months of relative quiet. The ATH of $15.81 from July 2025 remains a distant target, but momentum is firmly on EUL’s side.
Safe (SAFE) and DIA – two veterans waking up
Safe (SAFE) rose 25.3% to $0.104 with $18.2 million in volume, while DIA climbed 23.7% to $0.141 on $47.6 million. Safe’s smart wallet ecosystem and DIA’s oracle network are both showing renewed investor confidence.
Theoriq (THQ) and Pons (PONS) – AI agents meet memes
Theoriq (THQ) gained 26.9% to $0.0137, while Pons (PONS) surged 28.3% to $0.0514, setting a new all-time high of $0.0564 just yesterday – a rare occurrence in the current market. THQ’s AI agent infrastructure attracts serious builders, while PONS brings the meme energy.
The rest of the winners circle
SOON gained 20% to $0.201, BOOK OF MEME (BOME) rose 17.6% to $0.000532, KAITO climbed 17.3% to $1.18, Unibase (UB) added 19.2% to $0.148, and Pump.fun (PUMP) rose 13.1% to $0.001977 — now sitting at a market cap of $787 million, inching toward the billion-dollar club.
Summary
Monday brings a welcome green wave. Bitcoin holds above $65K, Ethereum builds momentum, and altcoins with real volume and tangible use cases are leading. From modular blockchains (ESP, CROSS) to DeFi protocols (EUL, DIA, SAFE) to meme culture (BOME, PONS) — there’s something for every playbook.
