SushiSwap’s SUSHI token – a relatively unknown crypto, is the best performing crypto-asset in the last one week, as it has surged more than 85% – making it the best-performing coin in the top 100 by market capitalization.
Data from Coingecko showed that in the past one week, Sushi gained 85%. Its main audience is DeFi traders and associated entities looking to capitalize on the boom in project tokens and create liquidity.
What you should know
The coin gain is largely attributed to the ongoing rally across the Decentralized Finance assets. Top digital assets across the Ethereum altcoins risk spectrum have pushed such assets even at record highs from their local lows.
- The crypto asset is an Automated Market Maker (AMM). A well-known tool used by a significant number of crypto users.
- It began its debut in September 2020 as a fork of Uniswap, the AMM which is now synonymous with the (DeFi) movement.
- SushiSwap aims to diversify the AMM market and also add additional features not previously present on Uniswap, such as increased rewards for network participants via its in-house token, SUSHI.
What they are saying
It’s important to note that this fast-growing crypto is listed on the fifth largest crypto exchange FTX.com and its CEO, Sam Bankman-Fried, recently commented on the exchange and its token SUSHI.
“Sushiswap had really shitty autumn, as the glow of Defi summer wore off and the memory of NomiGate lingered. And during that…. it just kept on building. I’m not really involved in what Sushi is doing, but I’m happy to see it keep pushing the industry forward,” Bankman-Fried.

The Share value of a Chinese photo-editing app, popularly known as Meitu Inc surged as much as 14.4% this morning after the Chinese company known for its beauty-focused app said it had bought $40 million worth of Ethereum and Bitcoin.
The Chinese technology firm, late-night yesterday revealed in its most recent filing that it bought $22.1 million worth of Ether and $17.9 million worth of Bitcoin on March 5 in a report credited to Reuters.
Meitu is the latest global firm holding Crypto as a form of its treasury operations. About a month ago, Tesla Inc revealed it had bought $1.5 billion of Bitcoin, which sent the world’s most popular crypto’s price up 20%.

So fast Ethereum has printed gains of about 530% while the flagship Crypto’s yearly returns stand at about 430%.
Meitu said it was buying the popular Cryptos for investment and partly as preparation to enter the blockchain community and that it would support such purchase from its existing cash reserves.
Meitu is evaluating the possibility of integrating blockchain technologies into its businesses based abroad, which could include projects on the Ethereum blockchain network.
Recall some days back, a leading global bank, Citi had suggested the flagship crypto-asset could “become the currency of choice for international trade,” thanks to its “decentralized design, lack of foreign exchange exposure, fast (and potentially cheaper) money movements, secure payment channels, and traceability.”

Crypto experts argue that such strong demand in the Bitcoin market is largely attributed to the fact institutions are coming.

What you should know: Dogecoin is a type of digital coin that is decentralized and facilitates peer-to-peer digital transactions. This means you can send money online with much ease. It’s usually referred to as “the internet currency.”
It is different from BTC’s proof-of-work protocol in many ways, one of which is the Scrypt technology. The fast-growing altcoin also has a block period of 1 minute, and the total supply is unlimited, meaning that there is no limit to the amount of Dogecoin that can be mined.
