Bitcoin out, altcoins in
Most altcoins equally remained subdued on the 24th of Wednesday and have seen suppressed action for the better part of the 25th.
Flow [FLOW] and Pyth Network [PYTH], however, stood out among the best-performing tokens in the midweek price action.
PYTH posted double-digit gains on the 24th of July, boosted by recent news of Pyth Network powering Galxe’s Layer-1 omnichain Gravity. In an announcement on the 22nd of July, the team wrote,
“Gravity will be powered by Pyth, with Price Feeds being available to developers building on Gravity and looking to leverage the chain’s performance and UX capabilities. […] Smart contract developers can also tap into Pyth Network’s 550+ real-time price feeds for cryptocurrencies and even traditional asset classes.”
Flow’s native token FLOW set an intraday and five-week high of $0.70 on the 24th of July per CoinMarketCap, but has given up some gains, settling at $0.63 at the time of writing.
