Cryptocurrencies to watch this week: Kaito, Avalanche, Pi Network

2025/07/21 03:59

Following a breakout week that pushed the total crypto market cap above $4 trillion, investors are bracing for a high-stakes stretch driven by corporate earnings, geopolitical trade moves, and the impending token unlocks.

With Bitcoin at record highs and altcoins like Kaito, Avalanche, and Pi Network facing critical technical and supply moments, the coming days could set the tone for crypto’s next leg—whether it’s consolidation or continuation.

The main catalyst for the crypto and stock markets this week will be earnings from some of the biggest US companies, including Google, Tesla, IBM, and Microsoft. 

Crypto prices will also react to any progress on trade as the August 1 deadline nears. Trump’s letters to trading partners like South Korea and the European Union placed a deadline of August 1. 

If a deal is not reached by then, the US will put a large tariff on these countries. Therefore, it is likely that some of these countries will work to reach a deal to prevent these hefty tariffs. 

Exchange-traded fund (ETF) inflows and increased corporate accumulation will also influence the crypto market. Some of the top cryptocurrencies to watch are Kaito (KAITO), Avalanche (AVAX), and Pi Network (PI).

Kaito 

Kaito is a top cryptocurrency project that is best known for its Yield Attention Protocols or yaps. It is a system used by its AI platform to quantify and reward users for their engagement on tokens on social media platforms. 

Kaito also runs a large platform that enables users to search and track any tickers and narratives in the crypto industry. 

Its $KAITO token will be in the spotlight this week as it unlocks tokens worth over $13.94 million, representing 3.50% of its float. The network will continue unlocking more tokens until 2028 as it has a circulating supply of 241 million tokens against a maximum limit of 1 billion.

Kaito token may plunge this week as it has formed a bearish flag and a rising wedge pattern, as the chart below shows.

Avalanche 

Avalanche token has been in a strong bull run in the past few days, moving from a low of $15.73 in June to $24.70 today. This surge will be put to test this week as the network unlocks tokens worth $41.1 million, representing 0.4% of the float. 

AVAX has already unlocked 325 million tokens, meaning that 35 million are yet to be released. Unless of a protocol vote, the final Avalanche tokens will be unlocked in 2030. 

The AVAX token unlock comes at a time when it is slowly nearing the crucial resistance level at $26.76, the neckline of the double-bottom pattern at $15. A move above that level will indicate further gains in the near term.

Pi Network

Pi Network will be a cryptocurrency to watch this week for its technicals. The chart below shows that it has crashed in the past few months, even as the crypto market bull run continued. 

Pi Network is now approaching the crucial support level at $0.4087, where it has formed a double-bottom pattern. A move below that level will invalidate the double bottom and point to further downside. 

On the positive side, it has also formed a giant falling wedge pattern, which may trigger further gains this week. If this happens, the coin may jump to $1 this week.

Pi Network price

The other top cryptocurrencies this week will be Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and XRP, as their ETF inflows jump. Additionally, these tokens will react to a potential announcement by Trump on allowing retirement fund investments in crypto.

NFT Market Cap Jumps 21% to $6.3B Overnight — What’s Going On?

The NFT market roared to life on Monday, jumping more than 20% in a single day, with total market cap rising from $5.1b to $6.3b . After months of stagnation, renewed interest in Ethereum-based collections appears to be driving the sudden revival. A major catalyst came in the form of a high-profile CryptoPunk sweep. According to on-chain data from Lookonchain, a newly created wallet, 0x1bb3, spent 2,082 ETH, or about $5.87m, to purchase 45 CryptoPunk NFTs within hours. The transaction lit up OpenSea, where the wallet now holds assets valued at over 1,700 ETH, or roughly $6.5m. A whale created a new wallet(0x1bb3) and spent 2,082 $ETH ($5.87M) to buy 45 CryptoPunk NFTs 4 hours ago. https://t.co/mVu8wrKhT7 pic.twitter.com/pfH4j5lYKI — Lookonchain (@lookonchain) July 21, 2025 CryptoPunks Dominate as Blue-Chip NFTs Spark Market Revival CryptoPunks led the rally, with floor prices climbing 14% from the previous day to $175,320. This surge pushed the project to the top of the 24-hour sales leaderboard, clocking in over $14.7m in volume, according to CryptoSlam. That marked a staggering 11,143% increase in daily sales. Other Ethereum collections followed suit. Moonbirds recorded a 31.1% gain, while Pudgy Penguins rose 2.7%. Bored Ape Yacht Club saw a 6.9% increase, and niche collections like Infynex Patron gained 9.4%. The broader uptick signals a shift in sentiment as investors appear to be rotating capital back into high-value NFT assets. The NFT market cap just pumped 17% in a day from $5.1B to $6.0B. Which NFTs are you holding? pic.twitter.com/yIauTicwpy — CoinGecko (@coingecko) July 21, 2025 Iconic Collections and ETH Dominance Hint at Broader Recovery Ethereum retained its dominance by a wide margin, notching $32m in NFT sales over 24 hours, a 339% spike. Solana, Bitcoin and BNB Chain trailed, each generating between $1.3m and $2.1m in sales, data from CryptoSlam showed. The rise in activity coincides with a sharp increase in wallet activity and a visible uptick in both buyer and seller participation. Ethereum alone saw over 5,400 buyers and 6,000 sellers across NFT marketplaces within the same period. While it remains unclear whether this momentum will sustain, the sharp uptick shows how quickly sentiment can shift in the NFT space. The market had been mired in sluggishness for months, with volumes declining and floor prices softening across major collections. Not all platforms or blockchains experienced the recovery to the same extent. While Ethereum-based collections surged, others like Immutable and Polygon recorded smaller gains or minor dips, showing Ethereum’s ongoing lead in high-value NFT transactions. CryptoPunks’ leading role in the recent surge shows the enduring appeal of iconic collections with cultural significance, particularly when major investors join the action. This rapid influx of funds and interest might indicate the onset of a wider market recovery. Still, experienced analysts warn that the NFT market remains unpredictable and closely tied to overall cryptocurrency trends.
