Speculation surrounding Coinbase listings helped these lesser-known altcoins skyrocket this week. Beyond the Coinbase hype, positive fundamentals also helped.

United States-based cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase sent waves across the cryptocurrency ecosystem on Apr. 11 when it released a list of 50 crypto assets that were under consideration for listing in the second quarter of 2022 in a bid to increase the transparency of its listing process. 

Responses to the release were mixed and led to some allegations of insider trading by crypto sleuths, while a majority of crypto traders took a deeper dive into the list in an attempt to discover diamonds in the rough.

Following a week’s worth of trading that saw many of the tokens on the list experience pump-and-dumps, the dust is beginning to settle revealing Morpheus Labs (MITX), Kromatika (KROM) and Big Data Protocol (BDP) as the top three gainers from the Coinbase announcement.

Morpheus Labs

Morpheus Labs (MITX) is a project that offers an extensive blockchain development toolbox designed to simplify the process of decentralized application development across a variety of networks and programming languages.

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows that, following the Coinbase announcement, the price of MITX skyrocketed 185% from a low of $0.014 to a daily high of $0.04 on Apr. 15.
