Top Crypto Gainers Of the Week: The cryptocurrency market has experienced a remarkable surge this past week, with notable gains across various digital assets. Blur (BLUR) leads this week’s pack with an impressive 81.84% increase in value. This surge has pushed its market capitalization to a substantial $745,691,508. Interestingly, this uptick follows BLUR’s recent listing on Binance, a major cryptocurrency exchange.

However, in the past 24 hours, the bullish trend encountered resistance, failing to surpass the 24-hour high of $0.6803. This resistance led to a slight dip in BLUR’s price to an intra-day low of $0.5771. Despite this minor setback, BLUR’s current trading price at $0.6128, though 1.59% lower from its intra-day high, still marks a significant rise.

This fluctuation in price, coupled with a 23.56% decrease in the 24-hour trading volume to $710,480,557, indicates some selling pressure yet underscores the strong investor interest in BLUR.
