Winners of the week: Zilliqa (ZIL), STEPN (GMT) en Terra (LUNA)

---

The first week of the second quarter has clearly been a good one for crypto. Let’s take a closer look at some of the winners of the past few days. Within the CoinMarketCap top 100, we can point to a lot of weekly gainers, but two that are clearly breaking out this week were Zilliqa and Stepn, both have seen their respective coins grow more than 200% in seven days.

In the top ten, we have to furthermore point to the growth of Terra, whose founder Do Kwon has launched an ambitious scheme to turn Bitcoin into Terra’s very own reserve currency. Just like Microstrategy’s Michael Saylor, he is simply smashing that Bitcoin buy button whenever he can, making sure that when Bitcoin goes up, Terra follows suit.

Besides Satoshi, we will be the largest single holder of Bitcoin in the world.

Kwon claimed.

Zilliqa: Up 85% in a week

Zilliqa is supposed to become the first Metaverse token as a service and it’s platform, Metapolis, looks very good indeed. On the last day of March we brought your attention to this new Metaverse token which was ready to pop apparently.

👏 👏 Congrats to @zilliqa for your upcoming metaverse development #metapolis. $Zil x Huobi 🚀

“We are just getting started,” Redditor BlockChayne explained. “Leading the charge is the groundbreaking, game-changing Metapolis, which will allow Zilliqa to spread its meta-wings across a range of verticals and blockchains.”

The coin suffered profit taking from early investors this weekend but looks indeed interesting for the future.

Stepn (Green Metaverse Token) is up 220% in a week

As we informed our readers on Friday already, it is clear that as the Covid pandemic winds down, fitness and health will become a booming business.

Younger generations have by now understood that healthy eating habits and a regular sports regime will protect them against infectious disease. Blockchain projects are jumping on this and it’s therefore no surprise that Stepn’s move-to-earn app’s GMT token has soared over the past week.

Stepn’s GMT (Green Metaverse Token) is based on the idea of earning coins by doing sports basically. The coins has gone parabolic in the last few days after speculation arose over a major sports brand doing a partnership. If Adidas or Nike indeed gets into the Metaverse and you can earn a pretty penny while getting healthy, this coin looks like it has a bright future indeed.
