Why Raydium, Arbitrum, KuCoin, Hyperliquid, and Kaia Are Up?

Why Raydium, Arbitrum, KuCoin, Hyperliquid, Kaia Are Up

Several leading altcoins in the DeFi, Layer-1, and exchange-token sectors have posted sharp gains this week, supported by bullish technical signals and significant project updates. 

The rally in Raydium is also related to the strength of the Solana ecosystem, and Arbitrum is gaining on renewed Layer-2 confidence following major recovery plans of key protocols.

KuCoin Token made progress in its quest to enter the real-world asset collateral, Hyperliquid benefited through whale accumulation and Layer-1 adoption strong momentum, and Kaia skyrocketed on new stablecoin projects and strategic partnerships.

Raydium Price Gains Momentum With Resistance Test

Raydium was up 3.84% to $3.77, with Solana rallying and altcoins getting more positive sentiment.

In the past 24 hours, trading volume had increased by 68%, indicating increased market activity and near-term bullishness.

However, the asset is approaching a robust resistance at 3.65, a level which has caused several sell-offs since May 2025.

Technical analysis shows that this resistance has always capped upside, and it has resulted in significant corrections when this level has been tested.

A resolute breakout above $4.28 with a daily close may result in a parabolic move to $8.5. The current buying pressure may propel the upside even higher, reaching a high of $4.7, and a rejection could also see a retracement to $3.5.

Arbitrum Extends Rally on Ecosystem Confidence

Arbitrum is up more than 9.07%  in the last 24 hours to $0.5380, an increase of almost 35%  in the last seven days. The spike was caused by the new-found confidence in the ecosystem after GMX announced a $44 million plan to compensate for the hack, alleviating fears of protocol exploits.

Also, the acquisition of ZeroDev by Offchain Labs enhanced the developer toolkit of the network indicating the possibility of long-term growth.

Technically, ARB has moved above the $0.53 resistance level, which coincides with the 25% Fibonacci retracement level, creating a short-term bullish momentum.

The token has also crossed over the 200-day simple moving average and the 50-day exponential moving average, indicating a change in momentum. 

RSI levels that are close to 70 show that there is a high buying pressure and also the risk of consolidation in the short term.

There is resistance at $0.64 level and a breakout would open the price to $1.30. But profit-taking at such levels may result in a temporary setback. The support stands at 0.51 and 0.47.

KuCoin Token Advances on RWA Collateral Integration

KuCoin Token increased by 5.51% to trade at $13.50 as the exchange entered into a partnership with AlloyX to incorporate RYT token into its Off-Exchange Settlement system.

This pilot program brings the collateralization of real-world assets to the fore, with ChinaAMC USD Digital Money Market Fund and custody provided by Standard Chartered.

The development includes the traditional finance protection combined with the blockchain potential, which may interest institutional users.

KCS market cap is currently valued at $1.72 billion, with the trading momentum driving the token to a new weekly gain of 28.27%.

Over the last month, the token has added $1.40 to its value, which indicates the presence of a lasting demand during the innovation drive by the platform. According to analysts, RWA expansion has the potential to cement the long-term market position of KCS in case of a scale of adoption.

The integration will also allow RYT holders to have access to credit lines and generate yields, which adds utility to the KuCoin offerings. The move will make KuCoin one of the first adopters of RWA in centralised exchange environments.

Hyperliquid Nears Breakout as Whale Activity Increases

Hyperliquid is trading at 46.91, below its 47 neckline in an inverted head and shoulders formation.

A breakout above this level may aim towards the $54-$55 area, in accordance with bullish chart patterns and possible short squeeze setups.

The Layer-1 blockchain of the project provides gasless transactions and sub-second finality, a balance between speed and transparency.

The recent movement of whales contributed to the market momentum, as one of the sizeable addresses bought 166,800 HYPE tokens worth $7.86 million.

This is after previous gains on strategic spot trades, which are an indication of a positive long-term position on the token.

This is depicted by the trading volume that has risen by 30.8% over the last 24 hours to hit $565.2 million.

Should the breakout hold, Hyperliquid will be able to reach new all-time highs. The short-term consolidation may be realised by failure to clear resistance.

Kaia Gains on Partnerships and Stablecoin Plans

Kaia increased 9.94%  in 24 hours to $0.1671, pushed by new collaborations and major ecosystem efforts.

Together with Tether and LINE NEXT, the project is co-hosting an August 25 Hackathon, which provides leading builders with the opportunity to deploy Kaia USDT-powered DeFi projects to the 194 million users of the LINE Messenger. Investment credits of up to $1 million will be on offer, providing even more incentive to take part.

Kaia is also planning to issue a KRW-backed family of stablecoins, and four associated trademarks have been filed.

The project will interlink all the stablecoins on the chain, improving adoption in the Asian market. A new listing on Upbit Singapore with SGD trading pair has increased liquidity and expanded the Kaia territory influence in Southeast Asia.

The market cap of the token is at $1.01 billion, and the trading volume increased by 249.1% up to $96.8 million.

In the past week, Kaia has gained 13.07%, having recovered from a low of $0.1438. Prolonged power beyond the $0.150 resistance would extend the existing breakout and set the asset ready to rally higher to $0.21 resistance level.
