From time to time, it is important to check in on which assets are seeing major increases in key metrics. Santiment's data screener is a fantastic resource you may be under-utilizing to quickly compare and contrast different projects under a certain size, sector, or portfolio strategy.

In the below screenshots, we reveal which coins (with at least a $500M marketcap) are the biggest risers in certain categories over the past 30 days (aka the entire month of June). We will also break down exactly what the importance of the category is when measuring up whether the coin is worthy of being in your portfolio.

Marketcap

In the simplest terms, marketcap is calculated as the Price per coin × Total circulating supply. This metric estimates the total value of a cryptocurrency and provides a snapshot of its size and dominance in the market. A coin with a high market cap is generally more established, and less impacted by market volatility. A coin with a low market cap may have room to grow if it gains adoption or investor interest... but it's also much higher risk of investing in. Over the past 30 days, Liquid Staked ETH (LSETH) is the highest marketcap gainer, jumping +89.8%.

Volume

Trading volume is the total dollar value of a cryptocurrency that has been bought and sold within a specific time frame. It measures how actively a coin is being traded and reflects the coin's current level of interest and liquidity. A high trading volume often indicates strong market activity and makes it easier to enter or exit positions without major price slippage. A low trading volume, on the other hand, can signal weak demand or investor interest, making the coin more prone to sudden price swings or difficulty selling when needed. Mantle Staked Ether (METH) is the biggest volume riser in the past 30 days, jumping a whopping +1,643.8%.

Social Volume

Social volume measures how often a specific asset is mentioned across social platforms such as Telegram and Reddit. Each unique message or post that includes the term at least once adds one count to the total, regardless of how many times the term appears in that message. This helps gauge how much attention or hype a coin is getting at any given time. A spike in social volume often signals rising crowd interest, which can lead to price volatility—either from retail FOMO or panic. On the flip side, consistently low social volume may suggest the coin is flying under the radar, which could mean it's undervalued... or simply forgotten. The fastest rising coin in terms of social volume is OKB ($OKB), rising +228.6% in the past 30 days.

Development Activity

Development activity measures how much meaningful coding work is being done on a cryptocurrency’s project over time. Santiment tracks this through specific types of GitHub events, such as code updates and new feature development—while filtering out noise like comments, forks, or issue tracking. This gives a cleaner picture of real, ongoing progress by the developers behind the project. A coin with high development activity typically has an active team working to improve its technology and long-term utility. On the other hand, low development activity may suggest the project is stagnant or abandoned... which could be a red flag for long-term investors. Bittensor is the biggest riser by percentage, jumping +3,600.0% in the past 30 days.

Network Growth

Network growth measures how many new addresses are interacting with a coin or token for the first time. It’s a strong indicator of user adoption and shows whether interest in a project is expanding or fading. When network growth is rising, it often signals fresh demand and a growing user base—positive signs for long-term potential. But when it starts to slow down or drop off, it could mean the project is struggling to attract new participants, which may lead to weaker price performance over time. USD Coin is the 30-day leader, seeing a +3,114.9% increase.

Age Consumed

Age consumed tracks how many tokens are moving on a given day, multiplied by how long those tokens were previously idle. When there’s a big spike, it usually means that old, previously untouched coins are suddenly on the move—often a sign that long-term holders or early investors are selling. These moments can hint at major market shifts, especially if large holders are exiting after staying dormant. If multiple spikes appear around price drops, it may suggest insider sell-offs or loss of confidence in the project’s future.

Whale Transactions

Whale transactions track the number of large transfers—typically over $100,000 or $1,000,000—made by major players in the market. These high-value moves often come from institutional investors or early adopters and can signal big shifts in sentiment. A sudden spike in whale activity may suggest accumulation ahead of a price rise—or unloading before a drop. While not always predictive on its own, this metric helps traders spot when the “smart money” is making bold moves, often before retail investors catch on. In terms of $100K+ whale transaction increases in the past 30 days, GateToken is the biggest riser, jumping +300.0%.
