Layer-1 Blockchain Surges 152% In A Week — Outperforms Bitcoin, Ethereum Amid Rebranding Plan

Layer-1 blockchain Solar SXP/USD saw an increase of 152% in the past seven days, outpacing leading cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin BTC/USD and Ethereum ETH/USD.

What Happened: At the time of writing, SXP was trading at $0.66. 

One possible contributing factor to the rise in SXP price could be attributed to Binance's announcement of support towards the Swipe Mainnet Swap and rebranding plan to Solar.

The second on the list is Stellar XLM/USD which saw 16.60% gains, following the Brazilian central bank's launch of its central bank digital currency (CBDC) test on Stellar's blockchain network. Another reason for the uptick could be Pendulum's release of the Spacewalk bridge, which connects the Polkadot infrastructure to Stellar's blockchain.
