cro.trade Weekly
Welcome to the first cro.trade Weekly. Each week we will look at what happened on Cronos memecoins: the coins that moved, the traders behind them, and what changed on cro.trade. Here is how the week went.
The market
More people traded Cronos memecoins this week than in any week before: 2,751, up 31% from 2,108. Volume came in at $9.56M, just under last week's record of $10.20M.
Launches more than doubled. 874 new coins went live on Cronos, up from 346, and 1,120 different memecoins traded at least once. 19 of this week's launches have already graduated.
The new names did the running while the bigger coins cooled off. Both top movers below launched this week. ULTI did the most volume at $2.35M but closed the week 58% lower after a big run the Sunday before, and CROCAT slipped 25%.
Tuesday was the busiest day at $2.38M and Saturday the quietest at $0.55M. Sunday is the one to watch: it was only the sixth biggest day by volume, but it had the most traders of the week, 1,142 of them.
Where did the $9.56M go? Nearly half of it went into just five coins. ULTI alone did $2.35M, a quarter of all memecoin volume on Cronos. CROBINHOOD ($645K), BULT ($581K), CROCAT ($419K) and ULTCAT ($349K) made up the rest of the top five. The other half was spread across more than a thousand coins, most of them only days old.
Zoom out and the trend is hard to miss. Five weeks ago, Cronos memecoins did $3.29M with 1,776 traders. This week it was $9.56M with 2,751. Volume has nearly tripled in five weeks, and the number of people trading has grown by more than half.
Most of the new coins came from banger.meme, which launched 527 of them this week. Launching is easy; graduating is not. Only 19 of the 874 graduated, and only seven drew more than 200 traders. The two top movers below did both.

Mara closes the week as top trader
From the cro.trade 7-day leaderboard
Mara's week came from CRONUS. Mara holds about 25 million CRONUS, and CRONUS rose about 48% over the last seven days, which is where the +$58,239 comes from. Not everything went up: 212, Mara's other big position, fell about 34% and gave back around $4K.
Mara also had a good run on CROCAT. Mara picked up CROCAT in mid-September and sold it in pieces over the next three weeks for about $36K, more than $27K above what it cost.
