Which cryptocurrencies have gained the most today?

I don't have a live feed that ranks coins strictly by today's price percentage gain, so I can't give you a verified "top gainers by %" list from a tool this turn. What I do have is the trending feed, which ranks by recent search interest — a different signal (buzz, not performance). Let me pull that for you so you at least see what's drawing attention today.

A quick clarification on what this data is: this feed ranks coins by search interest, not by price gain — so "trending" ≠ "biggest gainer." That said, it came back with each coin's 24h price change, so I can tell you which of the currently-trending names also happen to be moving today. I can't verify coins outside this feed without a dedicated gainer-ranked source, so treat this as "movers among what's getting attention right now."

The trending list sorted by today's gain, big to small:

  • Lil' Shrub (SHRUB) — +71.8% today (~$0.0204)
  • Basecat (BASECAT) — +64.2% today (~$0.0534)
  • Useless Coin (USELESS) — +57.7% today (~$0.205)
  • Pons (PONS) — +31.9% today (~$0.669)
  • The Index (INDEX) — +18.1% today (~$0.061)
  • Zcash (ZEC) — +13.8% today (~$937)
  • Lighter (LIT) — +13.6% today (~$4.37)
  • Uniswap (UNI) — +11.4% today (~$6.41)
  • Chainlink (LINK) — +6.0% today (~$11.85)
  • Hyperliquid (HYPE) — +5.7% today (~$86.99)

The big single-day jumps (SHRUB, BASECAT, USELESS) are all smaller-cap / newer tokens — that kind of move in a small project is common but comes with real risk: thinner liquidity and no guarantee the move holds. The larger caps (ZEC, LIT, UNI) moving up double-digits are a more notable signal on a given day.
