BTT was subject to a social media-driven pump earlier this year, as well. The cryptocurrency linked to the namesake peer-to-peer file sharing platform has risen 1096.25% on a year-to-date basis.

THETA: Theta was one of the tokens that made it to the Stocktwits’ list of top trenders. The token can be earned simply by watching theta.tv service and plays the role of “fuel” just as gas does on the Ethereum ETH/USD blockchain. A Theta Network hackathon is currently underway with $85,000 in prizes to be won. Theta traded 11.76% higher at $9.61 at press time and has gained 32.58% in a seven-day timeframe.

HNT: The cryptocurrency of Helium, a blockchain and digital currency network focused on improving supply chain logistics traded 13.81% higher at $9.45 and rose 43.51% in a seven-day window. The cryptocurrency has been buoyed since the year began thanks to the increasing size and coverage of its node network, ease of running nodes and the partnerships it has brokered, according to Cointelegraph.

HNT has spiked 594.85% since the year began.

VTHO: VTHO is one of the two tokens of the Vechain platform. It also plays the role of gas on the ecosystem. The other token VET can be used to generate VTHO. The VeChain is an enterprise blockchain platform designed to bolster supply chain management and business processes.

The boost in VTHO is in line with the overall surge seen in gas tokens as the search for Ethereum network alternatives grow due to the high cost of transactions on that platform, Cointelegraph reported. VTHO traded 7.32% higher at $0.012 at press time and spiked 146.52% in a seven-day period. The coin has soared 1,619.44% since 2021 began.
