Las criptomonedas más favorecidas por la SEC vuelan hasta un 30%

In a frenetic week, the crypto market surged over the Federal Reserve and Senate approval of the SEC's green light for tokenized stock trading. Cryptocurrencies benefited most from the move, soaring up to 30%. The crypto market has seen three frenzied days recently, with the Senate rejecting a regulation law, the Federal Reserve raising interest rates, and the SEC surprising investors with its decision to allow tokenized stock trading on Wall Street.

The SEC's move caught investors off guard, as the US regulator granted an exemption allowing the trading of tokenized stocks for five years, opening the door to a 24-hour open market. The SEC's authorization accelerated investor interest in companies most linked to the crypto world. Coinbase, Gemini, and Robinhood reacted with gains close to 5% by yesterday's close on Wall Street.

However, the start of tokenized stock trading on Wall Street has had a greater impact on cryptocurrencies that can be more favorably impacted by this launch. Specialized platforms and protocols in exchanges and DeFi (decentralized finance) received the biggest buying wave from crypto investors. Among the top 10 largest tokens by market capitalization, Solana and Hyperliquid each rose 6% and 10%, respectively.

Outside the top ten, Polkadot and Sky more than doubled in value during the day. Polkadot connects a network of specialized blockchains, facilitating token transfer, among other types of assets. Sky, on the other hand, is valued for its ability to issue tokens. Near Protocol, valued by its capacity to issue tokens, saw its token surge more than 20% in the last 24 hours.

Near Protocol is notable for being one of the most popular blockchains for AI, developing a high-performance platform designed to drive decentralized applications. The rally in a single session today extends to 30% in Uniswap, the most rocketed token among the 100 largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. Uniswap is recognized as one of the most popular decentralized trading protocols, especially for its role in facilitating automated trading of decentralized finance (DeFi) tokens.
