Secret, Curve and Shiba Inu gains suggest that altseason is coming
SCRT and SHIB surge to new highs, while CRV’s rally breaks a nearly year-long sideways trend.
Calls for an altseason continue to grow louder as the price action in the altcoin market has been on the rise for a few days. Meanwhile, Bitcoin (BTC) continues to consolidate below its all-time high near the $62,000 support level.
Oftentimes, moves in altcoins center around one specific sector of tokens, such as meme coins or decentralized finance protocols, but the current market is seeing rises across all sectors, which is possibly a sign that altseason is, in fact, heating up.
Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows that the biggest gainers over the past 24 hours were Secret (SCRT), Curve (CRV) and Shiba Inu (SHIB).
Secret partners with OpenSea to launch anonymous NFTs
The Secret Network is a blockchain protocol with built-in data privacy for smart contracts and decentralized applications that is powered by its native SCRT token.
According to data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro, market conditions for SCRT have been favorable for some time.

The rising price and momentum for SCRT came following the launch of the first anonymous nonfungible tokens (NFTs) on the Secret Network, which was made possible by a recent partnership with the largest NFT marketplace OpenSea.
Curve expands its ecosystem
CRV is the native token of the Curve ecosystem, which is a decentralized exchange for stablecoins and uses an automated market maker to manage liquidity on the protocol.
