Blue chip cryptocurrencies have pushed to fresh multi-month/year highs on Monday, but their impressive gains are dwarfed by the gains being enjoyed by top crypto gainers today in the on-chain shitcoins markets.
Bitcoin (BTC) just pushed into the mid-$53,000s for the first time since late-2021 in a knee-jerk, short liquidation-driven move.
Ether (ETH), meanwhile, was last trading in the mid-$3,100s, both seemingly supported by ETF-related tailwinds.

The token has been around for nearly three months.
But it has a concerning eight smart contract issues, including a modifiable tax, which was last at 3%.
