The first week of September 2024 saw altcoins struggle to achieve significant gains as the broader market stayed relatively quiet. However, a few assets from the top 100 by market capitalization managed to defy the trend, registering gains due to market interest and notable developments.

Among these are Helium (HNT), Starknet (STRK), and Uniswap (UNI), all of which have recorded notable upticks.

Helium (HNT)
HNT, the native token of Helium, the decentralized blockchain for the Internet of Things, climbed 19%. BeInCrypto’s analysis revealed no major developments behind the rise, similar to a pattern observed in August with other altcoin gainers.

Starknet (STRK)

STRK, the native cryptocurrency of the Ethereum Layer-2 blockchain, made a surprising appearance among the top altcoin gainers this week. Since its launch, STRK had struggled to post significant price gains.
